Elisabeth Joris Elisabeth Joris Elisabeth Joris (b. 1946 in Visp, Switzerland), is a historian, who has conducted extensive research and produced numerous publications on Swiss women, feminism, gender equality, and Zurich in 1968. At Corner College, she will take part in a panel following Claire Fontaine and Sally Schonfeldt’s presentations. Posted by Corner College Collective

Claire Fontaine Claire Fontaine Claire Fontaine’s research and practice are profoundly influenced by the non-reformist spirits of Italian feminism in the 70s. The very concept of a “human strike,” elaborated by the artist, is deeply connected to the analysis of processes of subjectivization and their link with the hidden productive and reproductive labor force that capitalism exploits without remuneration. Carla Lonzi, in particular, has been the subject of several texts written by the artist, such as “We Are All Clitoridian Women: Notes on Carla Lonzi’s Legacy,” in e-flux journal # 47 (2013); “Gallerie da non riempire,” in Il gesto femminista: La rivolta delle donne nel corpo, nel lavoro, nell’arte (Derive Approdi, 2014); “Carla Lonzi o l’arte di forzare il blocco,” in Carla Lonzi: La creatività del femminismo (Il Mulino, 2015). http://www.clairefontaine.ws/ Posted by Corner College Collective

Stan Iordanov Stan Iordanov Stan Iordanov is a London-based artist and musician. Recently he has performed or exhibited at Forde (Geneva), Kunsthaus Glarus (Glarus), David Roberts Art Foundation (London) and the Victoria and Albert Museum (London). He releases records and performs as A. J. Pain with a forthcoming album on London/Skopje label ACC. My field of work is music as a mode of resistance which spans an art practice and sound practice. Primarily through collaborations with other artists I have sought to bridge my sound work with retinal art and to make it visible. My present focus is the relationship between repetition and the regulation, and the eventual arbitrage, of memory. Taking music to be the principal carrier fluid of repetition, I would like to pose the question: is music the medium through which the pumping peristalsis of capital can be most readily disrupted, reversed, and rendered turbulent? https://soundcloud.com/p_a_t_c_h_f_i_n_d_e_r Posted by Corner College Collective

Cyriaque Villemaux Cyriaque Villemaux Cyriaque Villemaux (1988, Offenburg) studied contemporary dance at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse de Paris. In 2012, he graduated from P.A.R.T.S. He worked with Noé Soulier (Little perceptions), Xavier Le Roy (Retrospective) at Centre Pompidou and with Pierre Leguillon (La grande évasion, 2015) at Centre National de la Danse. In 2013, he created the children book Carte in the Musée de la Danse, CCN Rennes, together with Julie Kowalczyk. An antic version of this CV mentioned his interest for translation. The latter was actualized at the occasion of the book Rétrospective by Xavier Le Roy, in which he translated into French the interviews between Xavier Le Roy and Bojana Cvejic (2013). Cyriaque Villemaux was a resident artist of the Akademie Schloss Solitude between 2014 and 2015, where he made The Stuttgart Pieces and Covers in collaboration with Néstor Garcia Díaz and Boglárka Börcsök.

Julius John Alam Julius John Alam I am a Lahore based artist and writer. I received a Bachelors of Fine Art degree from the National College of Arts, Lahore in 2013 and a Masters of Fine Art degree from Parsons the New School for Design in 2016, where I studied on a Fulbright Scholarship. I have exhibited at Participant Inc, New York, 1×1 Gallery, Dubai, 12 Gates, Philadelphia, Gallery of Light, DUCTAC, Dubai, Canvas Gallery, Karachi, Koel Gallery, Karachi, Sanat Initiative, Karachi, Taseer Art Gallery, Lahore, and Rohtas II, Lahore. I currently teach at the National College of Arts, Lahore and also contribute to various art publications. In 2016, I engaged some young people to help me make work for a new exhibition. I felt that the safe social space that formed during that time was transformative and healing for everyone. This experience shifted my work from an object based practice to a participatory approach. So, in my next art project I tried to recreate that safe social space. But I found galleries to be stressful spaces that put pressure on people to behave in a certain way. So I grew dissatisfied with the gallery system. When I arrived in Zurich in 2017 for a residency, I thought it would be better that, instead of working from this problematic position, I use the opportunity to find a solution. I conceived Zurich Konversationen as a collection of conversations with people who employ the arts as a tool in their own practices in an attempt to make the world a better place. Through these conversations I am trying to better understand the role of art and artists in life and how the approaches discussed in the conversations can help me in my own practice. https://zurichkonversationen.com/ Posted by Corner College Collective

Maria Iorio and Raphaël Cuomo Maria Iorio and Raphaël Cuomo Maria Iorio and Raphaël Cuomo are an artist duo based in Geneva and Berlin. In the recent years, their collaborative artistic practice involving long-term research has investigated the economies of visibility in relation to past and present mobility regimes over the southern and northern shores of the Mediterranean Sea. Their last projects examine the intertwined histories of migration and cinema and manifest a counter-memory of the “economic miracle”. The resulting body of work brings together films, performative moments, collected documents, architectural displays. Iorio/Cuomo's practice includes a curatorial approach. They currently focus on decolonial “minor cinemas” and previously curated Unfinished histories – histoires en devenir, a series of exhibitions, screenings and talks that revisited the historiographies of the expanded field of moving image practices. Iorio/Cuomo have shown their work in various exhibitions and film festivals, including Documenta 14 Public Program (Athens); If Not For That Wall (CiC, Cairo); Quadriennale 16 (Rome); Visions du réel (Nyon); Logica del passaggio (Querini Stampalia, Venice); Europe. The Future of History (Kunsthaus Zürich); FID (Marseille); Twisted Realism (Argos, Brussels); Courtisane Festival (Ghent); Chewing the Scenery (54th Venice Biennale); Der Standpunkt der Aufnahme, (Arsenal, Berlin); The Maghreb Connection (Townhouse Gallery, Cairo). http://www.parallelhistories.org/ Posted by Corner College Collective

Irene Müller Irene Müller Irene Müller, (1969 in Wien), Kunstwissenschaftlerin, Kuratorin und Autorin. Studium der Kunstgeschichte, Archäologie und Deutschen Literatur in Wien und Zürich. Lebt und arbeitet in Zürich. Irene Müllers Spektrum der kuratorischen, publizistischen und vermittelnden Auseinandersetzung mit zeitgenössischer Kunst umfasst die Beschäftigung mit Fragen der Dokumentation und Beschreibung von raum- und zeitbasierter Kunst (Installationen, Videoarbeiten, Performance etc.) sowie mit Archiven und Wissensspeichern in künstlerischen und kunstwissenschaftlichen Kontexten. Ihr Interesse ist es, die teils komplexen inhaltlichen Zusammenhänge einem breiteren Publikum differenziert und kontextspezifisch zu vermitteln und dafür Vermittlungsgefässe zu entwickeln. Im kuratorischen Kontext ist es für sie ein zentrales Anliegen mit Orten und Räumen zu kooperieren, die nicht im festen, institutionellen Kanon figurieren. Posted by Corner College Collective

Seit 1993 kontinuierliche Zusammenarbeiten mit Sus Zwick, Ausstellungen, Performances, Reiseprojekte, dokumentarische Videos, Kunst im öffentlichen Raum. 1996 - 2017 Dozentin an der HGK/FHNW Hochschule für Gestaltung und Kunst, Basel, am Institut Kunst. 1997 Verfassung des "Erstes Manifest grosser und angesehener Künstlerinnen" mit Andrea Saemann, Monika Dillier u.a. Ab 2000 kuratorische, performativ und musikalische Projekte mit Chris Regn rund um den Kaskadenkondensator. 2003 Gründung des interschulischen Performancefestival ACT mit Heinrich Lüber, Linda Cassens und Pascale Grau. Seit 2005 Herausgeberin der Performance Chronik Basel zusammen mit Sabine Gebhardt-Fink und Margarit von Büren. Studium Als ich in meiner Kunstausbildung Ende 70ger Jahre in Zürich an der F&F mit Performance begann, besuchte ich verschieden Workshops. Hermann Bohmert schaffte konzeptuelle Rahmen, die spielerisch gehandhabt wurden. In denen wir individuelle Improvisationen aufeinander prallen liessen. So entstanden Performance Maschinerien mit vielen Leuten, Impro-Sessisons. Mike Hentz arbeitet situativ und kommunikativ, persönlich und politisch, er ging auf die Menschen, auf die Probleme zu, schaffte so kraftvolle und herausfordernde Begegnungen. Er stürzte sich heldenhaft in Situationen, die er in allen Konsequenzen ausbadete. Peter Trachsel arbeitete mit uns streng konzeptuell, unsere eigenes Bewegungsmaterial wurde zeitlich und räumliche zu einer Partitur, alla John Cage montiert, strukturiert und über Stunden aufgeführt. Praxis In meiner persönlichen Praxis ist Autorschaft zentral, multiple Autorschaft, das kollektive Arbeiten ist wichtig, so wie das situatives Arbeiten, denn an jedem Ort, für jeder Situation kann eine Performance entwickelt werden. Unsere Performances sind Kompositionen, aus Texten, Gesten, Bewegung, hantieren mit Gegenstände, im Raum und auf den Raum hin, Erzählungen zwischen Bedeutung und Abstraktion und Musik. Humor ist wichtig, Körper in ihren Differenzen. Alles scheint einfach dem aus dem Eigensinn der auftretenden Persönlichkeiten entlang, gebastelt. Wir sind keine stummen Körper, Fakir Leistungen liessen wir sein, aufgeladene Materialschlachten bitte nur auf Berechnung, Symbolgeschwängertes nein, populäres ja, singen ja, Konkretes ja, Physik ja, Unschärfe ja, Prekäres ja, akkurat ja.

Pascal Schwaighofer Pascal Schwaighofer Pascal Schwaighofer plays with metaphors, legends and analogies, forcing together apparently unrelated histories, politics, and aesthetics. His recent works dwell on the ontology of the Animal and its Western iconography, and on the molecular biology of genetics, tracking the parallels between gene manipulation and film editing. He graduated from the Accademia di Belle Arti in Milan in 2003 and is currently writing a doctoral dissertation on the politico-philosophical implications of the swarm, network and multitude, iconically embedded in the “honeybee metaphor”. Recent lectureperformances include La classe sterile, with Christian Marazzi, at Museo Vincenzo Vela. In January 2016 was released Tulipmania, a publication based on a dialogue between Jan Verwoert and himself as an extension of a multi-part work called Economimesis.

Linda Cassens Stoian Linda Cassens Stoian Linda Cassens Stoian, MA, the repertoire of her many activities includes working as a critical spatial artist, theorist and teacher. Her underlying concern is how the human environment is construed–and de-construed–through corporeal movement and lingering/residing/sojouring or “Being In” [Das Gehen und Das sich Dort-und-Dort-Aufhalten, what she calls MOTILITY], exploring shifts and states or modes of being aware of the lived body as a whole (Innewerden) while also engaging in action and goal-oriented activities. The first aim is to open oneself corporeally to the surroundings while maintaining awareness of the lived body as a whole; and the second aim is to be aware of how elements of the setting defining possibilities of action and activity determine or influence movement through space: What are the effects of the setting upon the PATH of movement and how can these be sensed, captured? When and why are there STOPS or lingering? What effect do these have upon the PATH of movement? For what kinds of activities or actions is the place set up? What are the everyday equipment, customs and practices which constitute the basis of the specific activities that can be performed there? What new activities could be introduced in this setting? The idea is not to report about subjective experiences or what ones sees, but rather HOW the setting shapes doing, movement, e.g., a space opens up, a wall is encountered, a building draws back, an opening in a ceiling or roof directs one to the sky; a masonry wall, which accompanied one for a while leads one around a corner, etc. Admittedly, this is difficult because we usually concentrate our consciousness on visual features. The undertaking focuses rather on MOTILITY, which is closer to the sense of TOUCH. Linda Cassens Stoian was born in the USA and has lived in Basel since 1994. Working in collaboration with the Swiss Architecture Museum in Basel, she is responsible for s am tours, the museum’s program of architecture tours in urban space. As teacher, L Cassens Stoian mentors MA students and gives lectures and workshops about artistic research and spatial praxis, most recently as docent at the Art in Public Spheres Program, Master of Arts in Fine Arts, Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts, as well as at the University of Évora (PT), Arts University Bournemouth (UK) and Umeå University (SE). She has been engaged in establishing a basis for critical spatial research in Switzerland including project director and core member of interdisciplinary Swiss national DoRE research projects (Academy of Art and Design, Basel: www.perform-space.net; www.situated-body.net).

In her current research project, ‘Skin Feminisms: Feeling the Trans Experience’, she analyses performance as a radical pedagogy that transcends the museum space and takes streets, schools and complex spaces, using love to intervene their realities and build other types of communication with the trans experiences of resistance.

Camille Aleña Camille Aleña There is a search for a thing, an image, a phenomenon: not a tradition but the memory of a tradition. The components and principles of a ritual, the rehearsal of an ephemeral procession. The images of a learning process witnessing people figuring out how to do something together, to get it right. Learning experiences or experiments are captured. If it just has happened it might as well happen again, in the same way, in a different place or a different way. Camille Aleña (*1986, Fribourg, lives and works in London) creates new links between art, music and the history of forms and media. Alena develops her work through diverse media and approaches such as documentary, narrative, performance, and objects making. She is interested in a singular relationship to music and moving image, the artist observes the experimental tendencies within the traditions of cinema which she references in her work. Camille Aleña recently graduated from the Royal College of Art (MA) in London. She studied at University of Art and Design in Lausanne (Ecal) and University of Art and Design in Basel (BA). She collaborated with the Herzog & de Meuron in Basel for two years (2013-2015). She took part in many exhibitions including Musée des beaux Arts in Cambrai (2016), Wallriss Fribourg (2016), Hard Hat, Genève (2016), Clarkhouse Initiative, Bombay (2016).

Axelle Stiefel Axelle Stiefel My work is cinematic and performative. When the exhibition is not the medium itself, I use my own voice – amplified – as another channel to address the forces of production at stake in a moment of attention. Language is a primary material. Voice is the point of singularization of meaning. Machines are the vehicles. A matter of tuning. Axelle Stiefel is a swiss artist from Lausanne, born in 1988. Former resident at Wiels Center for Contemporary Art, Brussels in 2013, she was recently hosted at Forde, Geneva for a solo show. 2016-2017 She was a visiting lecturer at the ENSAPC Paris-Cergy where she led a workshop called « Reading in Things », initiated by Federico Nicolao, with a focus on multiple aspects of the practice of reading and an emphasis on female authors. https://axellestiefel.network/ Posted by Corner College Collective

Angela Marzullo, a.k.a. Makita Angela Marzullo Makita : artiste féministe / feminist artist [fr] Angela Marzullo, a.k.a. Makita, est une artiste performeuse Italo-Suisse, établie à Genève depuis 1995. Féministe engagée, son art se passe souvent dans l’espace publique : elle est sortie de sa chambre il y a longtemps. Elle s’attaque à nombre de vaches sacrées : la maternité (elle met en scène ses filles dans son œuvre vidéo), l’intimité (elle fait pipi en public, à la place des nations à Genève, du haut d’une cabane à Londres) le fémicide (hitwoman, elle tire sur des poupées gonflables avec un énorme fusil à peinture). Dans son travail elle met en évidence les stratégies employées par Makita pour positionner les spectateurs, et propose une lecture de son œuvre comme tension entre le fait d’occuper l’extérieur, et celui de rendre visible l’intérieur. [en] Angela Marzullo, a.k.a. Makita, is an artist born in 1971 in Zurich, Switzerland, of Italian origin on her father’s side and Swiss on her mother’s, living in Geneva since 1995. As a videographer, she combines video art and performance exploring feminist questions, which are at the heart of all her artistic endeavors. In 2010 she was awarded a residency at the Swiss Institute in Rome. During that year, she produced an experimental short film, Concettina, based on the Lutheran Letters of P. P. Pasolini, with her two daughters as the main actresses. Since 2003, she has undertaken a practice of critical artistic transmission through a new series of works. http://www.angelamarzullo.ch Posted by Corner College Collective

Swati Prasad Swati Prasad I grew up in India, and studied design for my undergraduate education. Working as a graphic designer in diverse industries for a long period, I found myself leaning more towards the arts. While visual design was what I engaged with the most, art history and contemporary art always interested me. At every instance of being confronted with a powerful work of art, I would try and understand the workings of the mind behind it. While I couldn’t fathom being an artist myself, an understanding of the art world from a curator’s perspective really intrigued me. As a curator, I am interested in exploring how cultural conditioning adds and takes away from one’s artistic expressions and understanding. I am further curious in researching what role does gender and cultural notions play in it. Studying and learning design, I have concentrated on the functionality aspect of any work, now as a curator I want to see if and how effectively can art serve as a medium of not only expression but change in the stereotypical representation of cultures, histories and perspectives. I am interested in curating art and design from different media to enhance my understanding of what is contemporary. I still must find my voice as a curator, but the learning experience so far has been extremely enriching personally and professionally which I hope continues endlessly.

Josefine Reisch Josefine Reisch Josefine Reisch's artworks seduce the viewer with haunted textures of the already seen, a déjà-vu but not quite. She studied at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf and is a candidate for the 2017 Master of Fine Arts at Goldsmith College London. Working through traditional mediums such as trompe l'oeil painting, portraiture and commemorative scarves, she provokes moments of recognition. The already seen and established can tempt the viewer into a sense of certainty, the momentum of recitation creates a stumble over the allegedly familiar. Her research concentrates on communal museums of minor popularity to excavate repressed stories and facets of the vernacular. Reisch's work reassembles historical moments and figures into jumbled compositions, like a musical medley. Her interest in methods, attributes and tools of power manifests through visual culture. To extract the idea and mechanisms of magnitude she de-constructs and re-constructs cultural heritage by which she means to rethink paradigm. http://www.josefine-reisch.com Posted by Corner College Collective

Aya Momose Aya Momose b. 1988, Tokyo. Lives and works in Tokyo, Japan. In her work, Aya Momose uses video to represent the issue related to one’s voice and body. Against a backdrop of contemporary society, flooded as it is with digital video, she asks what these images really are and urges us to reconsider the act and experience of watching them. Gestures, voices, and dialogues of actors are key elements of her work, expressing the misalignment that interrupt the establishment of relations and communication with others and ultimately exposing the violence and immorality contained in the act of shooting videos. Momose has had a number of gallery and museum exhibitions, including at the National Art Center in Tokyo and the National Museum of Contemporary Art in Seoul. She will take part in Artist Residency in New York in 2017. http://ayamomose.com/ Posted by Corner College Collective

Mohammad Namazi (b. 1981 Tehran) is a visual artist based in London. Namazi’s work comprises trans or multi-media characteristics of visual expressions that have commonalities with the vocabulary of site-specific installations, public participatory activities and design practices. The temporal tensions between transience and permanency, or kinesis and stasis, have been a constant area of research, exploring polarity subjects such as rights of individuals, consumerism, the political exchange of power and hospitality. This is often reflected through the production of sculptures, drawings, moving image, sound installations, graphic design, photography, internet based artworks, workshops and performance. Namazi received his MA from the Royal College of Art in 2009. He is a recipient of the MAN Drawing prize (2009) and the MFI residency at the Flat Time House (2013). He has recently completed his solo exhibition at BALTIC 39 in Newcastle and currently is working towards his residency project at Index collective (‘Wort und Wirkung’) in Zürich for SeptemberOctober 2016.

Discoteca Flaming Star Discoteca Flaming Star discoteca flaming star is an interdisciplinary collaborative art group, a group of people which uses songs and other forms of oral expression, understanding them as a personal response to historical events and social and political facts. Through conceptual, visual visual and musical transfers, they create performances, sculptures, drawings, stages and situations whose foremost intention is to question and challenge the memory of the public, transforming old desires and finding invented pasts, or pasts which never occurred. DFS is the place where the oracle speaks through the non-chosen. DFS is a love letter written in the present continuous, a love letter to thousands of artists. They exploit their knowledge and lack of knowledge, working slowly, inspired by Anita Berber, Warhol’s wig, ghosts with no home, Rita_McBride’s „Arena“, Greg Bordowitz, Mary Shelley, Karl Valentin & Lisl Karlstadt, the Vienna Group, Alvaro, Joey Arias and David Reed’s paintings and dialogues. DFS present wonderful songs of love, consumption, fervour and feminism, carpets that help to cross burning bridges, fragile essays as drawings, and things that go together even though they shouldn’t… They act directly in the gap between action and documentation, generating and finding documents that can be used to articulate strange tongues and languages that incite action and argument. Cristina Gómez Barrio and Wolfgang Mayer have been the base of Discoteca Flaming Star since 1998. http://www.discotecaflamingstar.com/ Posted by Corner College Collective

Mosh Mosh Mosh Mosh Nicht umsonst bezeichnen sich Lady Mosh und Posh Mosh selbst als divenhaftes Duo. Und tatsächlich könnte man sie zu Beginn ihrer Performances mit zwei feinen Damen verwechseln, die unterwegs zu einem Gala-Dinner sind. Allerdings bleibt am Ende jedes Mosh Mosh-Live-Auftritts von diesem Eindruck nicht mehr viel übrig. Denn im Eifer des Gefechts sind sich die Diven weder zum Stagediven noch für ekstatische „Bühnenakrobatik“ zu schade. Im ramponierten Zustand scheinen sich die beiden Ladies am wohlsten zu fühlen - immer fleissig damit beschäftigt, die Codes der Damenhaftigkeit neu zu definieren. Let‘s deconstruct and your body will follow!

Lady Mosh and Posh Mosh don't describe themselves as a divaesque duo for nothing. Its true that at the start of their stage show, one could mistake them for two, fine ladies who are about to go to a 'Gala' dinner. The truth of the matter is that there is little left of this impression after every Mosh Mosh live show. The divas become stage divers and are not scared of ecstatic and extravagant 'stage acrobatics'. In brief: Mosh Mosh seem to be most at home when they are in tatters. And it is only thus that the codes of 'ladylike behaviour' can be redefined. Let's deconstruct and your body will follow! http://www.mosh-mosh.com/ Posted by Corner College Collective

Livio Baumgartner Livio Baumgartner Livio Baumgartner (1982 Bern) studierte Fotografie und Bildende Kunst in Zürich und Bern. Während in den FotogrammArbeiten die klassischen Bildelemente von Linie und Raum zu einer neuen Interpretation gelangen, wird in den installativen und konzeptuellen Arbeiten der Frage nachgegangen, wann und wie ein Werk zur Kunst wird. Die subtile Ironie hinter diesen Kunstprojekten überführt den scheinbar banalen und alltäglichen Gegenstand in einen ästhetischen Kontext. Neben seiner künstlerischen Tätigkeit kuratiert der gebürtige Berner seit 2009 Ausstellungen verschiedenster Künstler_innen im Zürcher Off-Space «Die Diele». Zudem interessiert ihn immer wieder die kollektive Umsetzung künstlerischer Lösungen in Projektbezogenen Ausstellungen wie «No Territorial Pissing» (2010, Bern), «Shine on You Crazy Diamond» (2012, Zürich, mit Nele Dechmann und Nicola Ruffo) oder «Oh wie schön ist Panama – im Spannungsfeld zwischen Mola und Moral» (2016, Zürich, mit Andreas Heusser). www.liviobaumgartner.ch www.diediele.ch Posted by Corner College Collective

Celeste Olalquiaga Celeste Olalquiaga Celeste Olalquiaga is a cultural historian interested in the contradictions of modernity and the residual aspects of modern culture. She has proposed kitsch as the cristallization of an imaginary experience. Currently at work on a re-examination of the myth of Medusa, she is also studying the evolving boundaries between nature and technology. An independent scholar, Celeste publishes, lectures and does artistic collaborations worldwide. Her books include Megalopolis: Contemporary Cultural Sensibilities (1992) and The Artificial Kingdom: A Treasury of the Kitsch Experience (1998).

Celeste Olalquiaga, Megalopolis: Contemporary Cultural Sensibilities. Book cover, 1992.

Megalopolis: Contemporary Cultural Sensibilities was published by University of Minnesota Press in 1992. Translated to Spanish (Monte Avila Editores, 1993) and Portuguese (Studio Nobel, 1998) it became a classic on postmodernity and is used in colleges and universities worldwide. Arguing that contemporary experience is mainly vicarious, that is, mediated by images and events, the book discusses the impact of high technology on daily life, the fears underlying the retro fashion of the 50’s and 60’s, the meaning and modes of perception of religious kitsch, the different expressions of urban decadence, and the nuances of the integration of American culture in Latin America and of «latin» culture in the US. Megalopolis is now out of print.

She has performed and exhibited in festivals and venues internationally such as Chance Ecologies (NY), Biennial de Performance Deformes 2014 (Chile), LIVE Biennale 2013 (Vancouver), the European Performance Art Festival 2011 in Poland (EPAF). My art is the movement between one idea and other. An impulse that leads to a gesture that leads to an image that leads to a sensation that leads to an impulse that leads. My art is the word that fails to conceptualize my work. Share.Time. Space. Presence. Honesty. My art is the contradiction between control and freedom, joy and struggle, self-indulgence and generosity. It is about me letting myself be what others see as I become the mixture of what my instincts had always suggested and a foreign idea that perfectly concludes the work. My art is an opened heart. Imperfect. My art is the small thing that is huge, the simple thing that is complicated, the ordinary thing that is fascinating. At least for me. Maybe for you? Do you see what I see? Do you feel what I feel? http://www.lucianaartwork.com/ New website: http://lucianaf.com/ Posted by Corner College Collective

Lena Maria Thüring Lena Maria Thüring Lena Maria Thüring’s work explores individual stories in a reflection on social systems and their underlying constructions using various media, such as photography, performance, video or installation. The interview forms both the starting point and the staging ground for much of Lena Maria Thüring’s recent filmic work. Her films and videos explore how individuals forge their identities and shield their memories in the shadow of larger group dynamics and the socio-political systems in which they are cast, using personal narrative — its gaps and elisions, its specificity and opacity — to reveal how meaning is constructed, projected, protected, and perhaps deconstructed. Detaching the spoken narrative from the subjects’ bodies and even their voices, Thüring creates a fissure between seeing and hearing, identity and biography. Within this space we can consider the nature of memory, the power of words, and the significance of all that remains unsaid. Born in Basel 1981, lives and works in Zurich. Thüring’s work had been shown in solo exhibitions at the Kunsthaus Baselland (2012) and the Museum für Gegenwartskunst Basel 2013 and in groupshows and screenings at the Kunstmuseum Bern, Kunsthalle Basel, Haus der Kulturen Berlin, the Reina Sofia National Museum Madrid in Spain and the Palais de Tokyo in Paris. She received several awards including Swiss Art Award (2008), Kiefer Hablitzel Foundation Award (2011), Grant from Zurich City (2012), Manorkunstpreis Basel (2013) and two artist residencies in Paris (2009) and New York (2010).

Distruktur (Melissa Dullius and Gustavo Jahn) Distruktur (Melissa Dullius and Gustavo Jahn) Melissa Dullius and Gustavo Jahn form Distruktur since 2007, when they moved together from southern Brazil to Berlin. They started making films together in 1999, first on Super 8 and later on 16mm, their medium until the present day. After joining the collective LaborBerlin in 2007 they started applying handmade techniques to the making of their films. Beyond conceiving and producing moving images, they appear as actors and musicians and act as lab technicians, doing a great part of the post-production work of their films. Distruktur's body of work takes form as films, installations, film performances, photographs, text and graphic.

Cristiano Lenhardt Cristiano Lenhardt Born in Itaara. Lives and works in Recife. My works shifts between different media; videos, presentations, observations, photographs, drawings and prints. Through the artistic practice I engage with the world, get scared with my own self and hide beneath a stage to exhibit myself solo. Tools that are also shields (pieces of paper or any type of cloth,screens, projectors, lens, sounds and prolonged gaze) gradually help me discover, question and construct, by means of action, a series of understandings that deal with how to live, how to respond to life, how to accept life and how to assume life. These manifestations occur through the attraction and the transformation of materials and symbols. I am interested in the miracle and in the illusion of depth accepted on seeing the surface of the plane/screen. A sum of projections sustains an infinite space.The projection of the person who looks and the projection of the image.The project is situated in this infinite. The drawing is the primary contact between the infinite and the understanding. http://cristianolenhardt.com.br/ Posted by Corner College Collective

Jonathas de Andrade Jonathas de Andrade Jonathas de Andrade investigates social, political, cultural and ideological matters that are at risk of vanishing from collective memory: what humanity chooses to retain or allows do sink into oblivion. Through a variety of processes involving photograph, research, documentation and personal experience, Jonathas summons up a slice of memory and offers a deliberation on various forms of collective amnesia. Jonathas de Andrade was born in 1982 in Maceió. He lives and works in Recife, the largest city on Brazil's northeast coast. His work has been shown in several international exhibitions, among them Under the Same Sun: Art from Latin America Today, at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, NY; 12 Lyon Biennale; 7th Mercosul Biennial, Porto Alegre; the 29th São Paulo Biennale; the 12th Istanbul Biennial; Histórias Mestiças, at Instituto Tomie Ohtake, São Paulo; 11th Dakar Biennale; and the second New Museum Triennial, titled The Ungovernables, in New York. In 2012, his participation in the Future Generation Art Prize 2012 show by the Victor Pinchuk Foundation earned him a special jury prize for "the way he fills the blank between art and ideology". http://www.jonathasdeandrade.com.br/ Posted by Corner College Collective

Triin Tamm Triin Tamm Triin Tamm (b. 1982, Paide, Estonia; Lives and works) produces books, objects, collections, and confusion — outside of a linear progression, and without succumbing to the constraining expectations of the art system. Tamm comments on or renders transparent the processes of making her works or exhibitions. And she works a-temporally — producing a documentation of potential works or retroactively producing those works from their documentation, collecting future titles, etc. Tamm works in response to the dwindling space for artistic freedom, and widens it a bit.

Bettina Carl Bettina Carl "A few issues have always been crucial to my work: the act of becoming, the quest for precision and the chance to fail. I like complications. Immersed in politics, history, philosophy, literature, and yes, art, too, you won't become the very model of an expert. (And we all have to pay the electricity bill now and again.) But eventually, you may become an artist." Bettina Carl's artistic practice focuses on drawing, painting and site-specific installations, often incorporating texts and three-dimensional objects. Among her recent shows are exhibitions at the Brno House of Art (CZ), Lucie Fontaine Milano (IT), and Helmhaus Zurich. She won several grants and residencies and has exhibited widely across Europe. For more than 15 years now, Bettina Carl has also been active as a curator and writer in the art field. In 2001, she co-founded the artists' initiative CAPRI Berlin, she worked as a curator at White Space Zurich, and as a guest curator, she realised exhibition projects at international art spaces and institutions. * Bettina Carl studied English and Spanish Literatures and Linguistics in Munich, Granada (Spain), and in Berlin, then completed the Fine Art course at the Berlin University of Art (MFA Meisterschuelerin with Prof. Katharina Sieverding), and studied at Chelsea College of Art and Design London. Bettina Carl is also a graduate of the Critical Studies Postgraduate Course, Malmo Academy of Arts/Lund University, Sweden.

Liane Lang Liane Lang [English below] Liane Lang, geb. in Deutschland, lebt und arbeitet in London. Studierte am National College of Art and Design NCAD in Dublin und schloss mit einem BA in bildender Kunst am Goldsmiths College ab, gefolgt von einem Postgraduate-Diplom an der Royal Academy, wo sie 2006 abschloss. In ihrer Arbeit befasst sie sich mittels Fotografie, Animation und Skulptur mit der Belebtheit und der Geschichte von menschlich hergestellten Objekten. Zahlreiche von Langs Arbeiten untersuchen Museumsobjekte und die Biographien, die sie zu erzählen versuchen, Formen des Ausstellungsdisplays und die Realitätsnähe von Kunstobjekten, insbesondere von figurativen Skulpturen und Monumenten. Lang schafft pseudo-performative Interventionen auf öffentlicher Bildhauerkunst und Monumenten und interpretiert diese Objekte durch Wiederbelebung und Akte zeitweiligen Ikonoklasmus neu. Sie interessiert sich insbesondere für Objekte, denen die Beseitigung droht, oder die beschädigt oder zerstört worden sind. Die psychologische und politische Dimension der Figur der Skulptur ist in ihrer Praxis von zentraler Bedeutung. Langs Werke wurden sowohl in Grossbritannien als auch international oft ausgestellt. Sie schuf eine permanente Installation im öffentlichen Raum im Londoner Bezirk Croydon und hat eng mit Londoner Bezirken gearbeitet und temporäre Kunstprojekte, Workshops und Ausstellungen im Rahmen der Kulturolympiade beigesteuert. 2014 stellte sie im Musée des Beaux-Arts de Calais und im Deutschen Historischen Museum aus. 2015 gewann sie den ersten Preis am Bilbao ExperimentoBio Fotografie-Festival, mit einer Einzelausstellung im Oktober. Im September 2015 waren ihre Werke in einer ShowcaseAusstellung bei Photoworks zu sehen. Sie stellt gegenwärtig im Märkischen Museum in Berlin aus, und eine Ausstellung im Museum der Zitadelle Spandau in Berlin ist in Vorbereitung. http://www.lianelang.com

[Deutsch siehe oben] Liane Lang was born in Germany and lives and works in London. She studied at NCAD in Dublin and completed a BA in Fine Art at Goldsmiths College followed by a Postgraduate Diploma at the Royal Academy, where she graduated in 2006. Her work is concerned with the animacy and history of man made objects through photography, animation and sculpture. Many of Lang’s works examine museum objects and the biographies they attempt to narrate, modes of display and the verisimilitude of art objects, particularly figurative sculptures and monuments. Lang creates pseudo performative interventions with public statuary and monuments and reinterprets these objects through resurrection and acts of temporary iconoclasm. She is particularly interested in objects that are under threat of removal or have been damaged or destroyed. The psychological and political dimension of the figure in sculpture is central to her practice. Lang’s work has been exhibited widely both in the UK and internationally. She has a permanent public art installation in the London Borough of Croydon and has worked extensively with London Boroughs on delivering temporary art projects, workshops and exhibitions as part of the Cultural Olympiad. In 2014 she exhibited at Musée des Beaux-Arts de Calais and the German Historical Museum. In 2015 she won First Prize at the Bilbao ExperimentoBio Festival of Photography with a solo show during October. Her work was showcased by Photoworks in September 2015.

Nicolasa Navarrete Nicolasa Navarrete Nicolasa Navarrete Bleistiftsmaterialismus Nicolasa Navarrete could be described as a philosopher with a pencil. Her works look like the hybrid product of a traditional drawing class and Walter Benjamin's concept of the dialectical image. Her drawings are realist, based on found images and paired with largesize quotations, from pop songs, headlines or even private conversations with friends. “Der historische Index der Bilder sagt nämlich nicht nur, dass sie einer bestimmten Zeit angehören, er sagt vor allem, dass sie erst in einer bestimmten Zeit zur Lesbarkeit kommen”, Benjamin explains about the dialectical image in Das Passagen-Werk (1927-40). “Das gelesenes Bild, will sagen das Bild im Jetzt der Erkennbarkeit, trägt im höchsten Grade den Stempel des kritischen, gefährlichen Moments, welcher allem Lesen zugrunde liegt.” Benjamin used his own commentary to turn quotes into dialectical images; Navarrete works more associatively: for example, she pairs her drawings of a found photograph of 19thcentury English teenager working as a miner with her handwritten notes about finding the image, arguing with a friend about politics and listening to Woodie Guthrie's Miner's Song (c.1944): “Don't just transcribe a direct quote from EngelsWhy not? I asked.” Here and elsewhere, the found image and found words fuse the past and the present to offer an illuminating glimpse of a totality while remaining separate from it. Benjamin worked with the idea of montage by arranging his comments and quotes in a provocative way for the page of a book. By contrast, since Navarrete fills up the surface of her drawings, she applies the idea of montage by hanging them in precise constellations, whose fullness recalls a Petersburger Hängung, and by using four nails at each corner, as if crucifying the works to the white cube.

Isaline Vuille Isaline Vuille

Educated as an art historian, Isaline Vuille has worked for several structures dedicated to contemporary creation in France – such as the Musée d’art moderne de la Ville de Paris, CRAC Alsace or Almine Rech gallery, and in Switzerland – Fri Art in Fribourg, Centre d’art contemporain in Geneva, Ribordy contemporary or HEAD-Geneva. In parallel she develops an activity of art critic and independent curator, and has worked particularly in Switzerland (Piano Nobile, Le Commun – Bâtiment d’art contemporain, Agent Double, *cellar window in Geneva, Standard Deluxe in Lausanne, Kunstunion in Zurich, Sonnenstube in Lugano). Central to her practice is the idea of creating links, provoking encounters, create relationships. This happens of course firstly between specific works, artists and public, in the context of solo or group shows ; between different fields too (such as art and literature, history, ecology, social sciences) ; and between different artistic scenes. http://www.isalinevuille.com/ Posted by Corner College Collective

(born 1981 in Belgrade) Lukatoyboy is a musician, sound artist and educator from Belgrade, currently based in Berlin. His sound art practice is based on performances dealing with networks, sound and narrative, using walkie talkies and site specific topics. Focused on the relation of chances and structures, he creates participatory works with suggested rules, questioning the artist's exclusivity and authority. He is currently researching alternative methods of listening, using found architecture and proposed distance as tools for discovery. As a musician, he is mostly involved in electroacoustic improvisation (based on realtime sampling of various objects, toys, voices, and field recordings) using feedback and analogue synthesizers. Lukatoyboy also produces nanotechno and free IDM on a Game Boy. He is a cofounder of the residency/festival MultiMadeira. http://flavours.me/lukatoyboy https://soundcloud.com/lukatoyboy Posted by Corner College Collective

Julia Kälin Julia Kälin Die in Zürich lebende Künstlerin Julia Kälin zeigt im Corner College zeichnerische Untersuchungen zu Körperbildern, Transformationsprozessen und Mehrdeutigkeit. In ihren Bildern kombiniert sie Tusche- und Finelinerzeichnungen mit Stempeldruck, welcher wiederum gezeichnete Linien wiedergibt. So verbindet sie Reproduktion und Handzeichnung zu einem assoziativ ineinander verknüpften Geflecht. Abstrakte Strukturen und lineare Körperfragmente greifen ineinander. Die Künstlerin evoziert in ihren Zeichnungen einen oszillierenden Imaginationsraum, in welchem bei genauerem Betrachten immer wieder neue Möglichkeiten zu entdecken sind. In ihren fragmentarischen Körperbildern thematisiert Julia Kälin Zustände der Instabilität und die sich daraus ergebende Unsicherheit – feste Kategorien werden durchbrochen. Klare Bedeutungszuweisungen weichen Mehrdeutigkeiten, welche zum Nachdenken anregen oder ambivalente Emotionen auszulösen vermögen. http://www.brainhall.net/juliakaelin/choice.htm Posted by Corner College Collective

Quynh Dong Quynh Dong Quynh Dong (originally Đng Th Nh Qunh) was born on 25 December 1982 in Hanoi’s seaport, Hai Phong, in Northern Vietnam. From 2000 to 2004 she attended the Design School in Biel/Bienne for a degree in graphic design, graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts at the Bern University of Arts and earned her Master of Arts in Fine Arts at the Zurich University of the Arts. Today Quynh Dong lives in Zürich, where she worked as a recipient of the BINZ39 award until 2012. Quynh Dong presents hyper-worlds, built from cultural stereotypes and clichés, then pushed to the brink of emotional overload. Kitsch is a conscious strategy in Dong’s research. Over the past ten years, narrative has become less and less important in her work. The theatrical focus has moved away from the actors and towards the setting. The stage has become the true protagonist and video has evolved into light sculpture. The ceramic objects she started making last year can be seen as the next logical step of transferring props from the screen into real life. Posted by Corner College Collective

The performance ‘Vor(ur)teil-spiel’ illustrates how the real and imaginary interchange. His second performance was a co-production with Nezaket Ekici. “In München, Um München, Um München Herum”. The performanceinstallation of the same title is the transposition to the exhibition area of the forms which were taken from the daily lives of people living in and around Munich, and have been altered. T. Melih Görgün’s work “Underneath / Nothing as silent as snow” is a mixed media performance installation using digital imaging and live action exploring the convoluted journey to becoming a “European,” and what lies underneath this apparent homogeneous identity. It was realized in Odessa. He is the founder of the International Sinop Biennial Sinopale, which is the title of an international project that, in the context of local development, draws the civil society together with the purpose of building dialogue through culture and arts, within the framework of the model of “artistic production based on sharing.” He curated exhibitions in Turkey and abroad.

m-a-u-s-e-r (Mona Mahall and Asli Serbest) m-a-u-s-e-r (Mona Mahall and Asli Serbest) Based in Stuttgart and Istanbul, m-a-u-s-e-r represents the practice and research of the Micro Architecture Unit Star Energy Ray. As undisciplined, collaborative studio they reflect and produce architecture in different media. Their only, quasi-universal, principle is that ideas – although being shaped by certain linguistic, social, political, technological, and interpretative conditions – dominate their strategies, procedures, and objects. Therefore, m-a-u-s-e-r’s work can come as building, installation, video, graphic, sound, text, etc. – depending on the idea behind. It can use existing forms or develop anti-forms. It is shown in their self-published magazine Junk Jet, in their texts for e-flux journal, Perspecta, etc., and in their exhibitions at Künstlerhaus Stuttgart, General Public Berlin, Venice Architecture Biennial, New Museum, Storefront for Art and Architecture New York, etc. It is reflected in their book How Architecture Learned to Speculate. Currently, they have the chair of foundations of design and experimental architecture at the Stuttgart State Academy of Art. As a part of OfficeUS, m-a-u-s-e-r represented the U.S. Pavilion, at the 2014 International Architecture Exhibition – la Biennale di Venezia, with a collaborative work investigating architecture as part of global, post capitalist culture. http://m-a-u-s-e-r.net/ Posted by Corner College Collective

Sébastien Peter Sébastien Peter Sébastien Peter is an art historian and curator with a special interest in music. He runs the offspace Sonnenstube in Lugano. Sonnenstube is an offspace at Via Luigi Canonica 12, Lugano (CH).

Sonnenstube, which literally means “sunny room”, is a term used in the German speaking area of Switzerland to describe the Canton Ticino. It represents a place to relax, peaceful and idyllic. Sonnenstube is the point of view of the passing tourist, of the “balabiott” of the first half of the 20th century, or of the various intellectuals, hippies, and northern artists who searched for their “elsewhere” in Ticino. Furthermore, a book and fanzine shop is regularly presented, where one can buy limited edition art magazines. Sonnenstube was created by Marta Margnetti (1989, artist), Damiano Merzari (1980, graphic designer and musician), Sébastien Peter (1984, art historian), Gabriel Stöckli (1992, artist), Gianmaria Zanda (1985, artist and musician).

San Keller San Keller San Keller was born in 1971 in Bern, Switzerland, and currently lives and works in Zurich, Switzerland. He is well known for his participatory performances and ephemeral actions that frequently approximate social experiments. The overall tone of Keller’s oeuvre is critical, conceptual and playful and reflects on the relationship between art and life. His investigation of art as a service ultimately gives the audience the opportunity to question out-dated paradigms and experience them in a new way, while also placing them under critical scrutiny. His actions start off with contractual arrangements that set up the rules for his works, but since they rely on the participation of others, the course they take and their ultimate outcome is unpredictable. Recent exhibitions include: Deleted Scenes, Galerie Brigitte Weiss, Zurich (2015); Invent The Future With Elements of the Past, Cabaret Voltaire, Zurich (2015); Twisting C (r) ash, Le Commun, Geneva (2015); Disteli – Keller – Warhol, Art Museum Olten, Switzerland (2013). http://www.museumsankeller.ch Posted by Corner College Collective

Anne Rosset Anne Rosset A l’heure actuelle, ma pratique artistique est basée sur l’usage de la voix et du corps en mouvement. L’art performatif, quelle que soit sa forme, est un des moyens d’expression et de transmission que je préfère, parce qu’il se déroule en direct. Une performance, un spectacle est unique et irremplaçable dans le sens où il n’a lieu qu’à ce moment là. Et même si son contenu et sa forme est reproduit, l’instant reste impossible à reproduire. J’aime aussi la part de ‘non prévisible’ et de ‘non savoir ‘qu’implique le direct. Ecouter de la musique est une de mes occupations favorites et mes goûts sont éclectiques. Cela constitue, avec la pratique de l’écriture et la réalisation d’images (photos, films courts), un fil de pensée que j’utilise directement ou indirectement dans mes produits scéniques.

Mirjam Bührer Mirjam Bührer Wo Bewegung ist, geschieht Veränderung. Da ist Leben. Da ist Wachstum möglich. Bewegungsrecherche steht im Zentrum ihrer Arbeit. Dabei untersucht sie unterschiedliche Mechanismen des Zusammenspiels. Zwischen innen und aussen. Zwischen den verschiedenen Körperteilen. Zwischen Menschen. Zwischen Klang, Licht, Wort, Subjekt und Objekt. Erst im Zusammenspiel entstehen neue Räume, Atmosphären, Ideen, Aussichten und Perspektiven und dort warten die überraschenden Wendungen und die kleinen Wunder. In der Improvisation und Komposition ist sie auf der Suche nach radikaler Präsenz im Augenblick und nach der Ehrlichkeit und Leichtigkeit der Bewegung, die plötzlich einen unplanbaren Sinn ergibt und höchste Konsequenz verlangt.

Magnhild Fossum Magnhild Fossum Magnhild Fossum is a Norwegian dancer, choreographer and teacher currently based in Switzerland. She has worked internationally with a wide range of companies and collaborations, such as Stellaris DansTeater(N), Attakallari Dance Company(IND) and Allora & Calzadilla(US). She has also since 2005 toured several productions with her own company, Magnhild Fossum Productions, where most recent collaborators has been Melaku Belay(ETH), Jeroen Visser(CH), Mats J. Sivertsen(N) and Zoe McCloskey(US). For several years she collaborated with Anwar Saab(N/LB), producing for stage and several experimental short-films. She has explored dance through theatre, video art, interactive installations and public interventions. Currently she is researching and developing ways to create new possible modes of perception between people, spectators and performers through the performing arts. This is why she has invited Mårten Spångberg to do a workshop with her at Tanzhaus Zürich, leading to an open performance on the main stage, 2nd of October 2014, together with 10 invited dancing artists. In the workshop they will zoom in on the 2014 rise of dance “detached” from choreography and signification. It addresses dance as an autonomous existence that carries new possibilities. A dance produced in a post-critical environment gaining momentum through contemporary phenomena, spiritual practices, analogue and digital interfaces and current modes of remixing, editing and combining. According to Spångerg this articulates a new operative system for dance, a dancing that has to or can allow itself a proactive incompatibility with tradition, canon, training and representation.

Vreni Spieser works with installation and performance, often in relation to architecture, often in ways that are temporary or impermanent. Her works effect a break with the centuriesold Eurocentric view of the world to adopt a postcolonial perspective. A central theme in this task is her interest in ornament, itself a product of migration, adaptation, and transformation. Vreni works to create alternative spaces that can be read as a counter-position within our culture, where critical reflection on what already exists is possible and the imaginary of an alternative possible life can be realized. http://www.vrenispieser.ch Posted by Corner College Collective

Pascal Häusermann Pascal Häusermann Pascal Häusermann (1973 in Chur) is based in Zürich in terms of working and living. He studied Theory of Arts and Media at University of Arts Zurich from 2004-2008 and worked in the context of cultural activism, as freelanced curator and lecturer. He had exhibitions in Switzerland, Italy, Czech Republic, Germany, Georgia Morocco and Brazil. 2014 he has his first institutional solo – exhibition at Centre PasquArt, Biel – Switzerland and 2015 he wins an international residency from the FAAP - Fundação Armando Alvares Penteado in São Paulo. Häusermann’s latest works are concerned on the perception of space and the relation of spatial structure, e.g. public spaces to and interaction with the individual, using sculpture, installations, film, serial montage. The exploration of space involves e.g. city and architectural structures, encircling topics like disorientation, so the tension between control and bewilderment in today’s time, the endless movement and spatio-temporal research for a relocation. The idea of the “flaneur” together with the perception of space creates an infinite structure and movement, which is mirrored in one of the guiding motives: the stairs. Häusermann uses strategies of layering, juxtaposition and comparison to investigate contemporary social and cultural issues.

Baptist Coelho Baptist Coelho Baptist Coelho’s (lives and works in Mumbai-India) projects frequently merge personal research with collaborations from various cultures, geographies and histories. These works begin to take on the form of human-shaped media-landscapes and often contend with conflict, emotion, culture, gender, history and the environment. The artist incorporates various media into his practice such as installation, video, sound, photography, performance and found objects, which may develop into sitespecific work or public-art projects. While exploring these stories and ideas from various geographical backgrounds, Coelho has discovered that the values and ideas which are expressed through these collaborations can often describe a much larger, global, perspective. His works had been exhibited in different insitutions worldwide. http://www.baptistcoelho.com Posted by Stefan Wagner

Zoe McCloskey Zoe McCloskey Zoe McCloskey (b. 1983) is interested in re-evaluating the authority of artistic voice by manifesting artworks whose form expands the definition of an art practice. Her former practice largely consisted of wheat-paste street art and community art projects. Her current focus is science-researched performances. She received her BFA from Cooper Union and her MFA in Social Practice from California College of the Arts. She has exhibited in NYC, Chicago, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Portland, and San Francisco; and has collaborated on community art projects in El Salvador, Argentina, Mexico, and Belize. The work she developed in recent years involves the enlistment of science advisors from the California Bay Area and takes the form of lecture-style performances or audio sculptures, for which she appropriates contemporary genetics and neuroscience. http://zoemccloskey.net Posted by Stefan Wagner

Vianney Fivel Vianney Fivel Born in Chambéry (1984), lives and works in Geneva. Before studying art, I was trained as a builder in a civil engineering company, later I obtained a bachelor degree in landscape architecture at HEPIA-Genève. I then entered HEADGenève and got a master degree in fine arts in 2012. My artwork deals with the montage of disparate materials that come from various origins. This montage creates stories that can be embodied in a book, a performance, or an installation. I opened in June 2013 the art space « Portmanteau » along with some artists friends. This place is dedicated to the creation of exhibitions through discussions, non-hierarchical organization and happiness. Posted by Stefan Wagner

Surrounded for 20 years by 200 goats that we milked two times a day, we trained our imagination intensively.

In other words I work hard to build and share models of edited abstractions. http://ceelmogamidehaas.blogspot.ch Posted by Stefan Wagner

Saman Anabel Sarabi Saman Anabel Sarabi Saman Anabel Sarabi works and lives in Worms. She studied philosophy, literature, music theory and art in Düsseldorf, Bruxelles and Bern. Her practices question the conditions of art on the level of production, presentation and reception. She is trying to create frameworks which allow different possibilities to act and intervene beyond the offered ones with the firm intention to constitute counter-publics. Counter-publics, which are organised collectively and which resist rules and normalisations as they are perceivable, i.e., within the context of city planning, written history and language books, constructions of time and moreover in schools and universities. Counter-publics which create and allow other and desired ways of speech-acts. She focusses on the power relationships between the (non)performativity* of language and economic structures. Collaborations with different groups and collectives (i.e. the ArtsCommons, Centre of Inefficiency, coexistent) are inherent to her practice. Since 2014, she has been running the publishing office hightime together with Stefan Wegmüller. * referring to Sara Ahmed: The Non-Performativity of AntiRacism, borderlands ejournal vol. 5 3/2005 www.wormsartistcollective.com http://www.hightimepublishers.com Posted by Corner College Collective

He has been making films since 2000 when he founded the Experimental Film Society in Tehran. Since then, he has worked completely apart from any mainstream conceptions of filmmaking.

He generally eschews scriptwriting, seeing the process of making moving images as exploration rather than illustration. His work is also deeply engaged with film history. Posted by Stefan Wagner

Barry Wallenstein Barry Wallenstein Der New Yorker Poet und emeritierte Professor für Literatur und Creative Writing Wallenstein schreibt seit den 60-er Jahren Gedichte, die in zahlreichen Sammelbänden und Magazinen publiziert werden (Ploughshares, The Nation, Centennial Review und American Poetry Review). Seit den 70-er Jahren performt er seine Gedichte zusammen mit Musikern in wechselnder Besetzung, welche vorwiegend aus dem Jazz Bereich stammen. Zu erwähnen wären da etwa: Charles Tyler, John Hicks, Vincent Chancey und Adam Birnbaum. Barry hatte in seiner Karriere immer wieder sehr spezielle, durch Zufall geprägte Begegnungen wie mit Charles Mingus oder mit Fela Kuti. Barrys Stil ist wohl am ehesten mit einer Frühform des Spoken Word beschreibbar. Eine musikalische, stark rhythmisierte Art des Rezitierens, welche zwischen Singen und Sprechen changiert. Inhaltlich nimmt einem Barry in seinen Gedichten auf kleine, grosse Reisen mit, surreale Begegnungen mit dem Nachbarn, einem Hasen oder dem Zorn... www.barrywallenstein.com Posted by Sarah Infanger

Dabei interessiert sich Biermaier besonders für die psychologischen Komponenten der Manipulation, der Machtausübung und deren zeitgebundene Auswirkung auf die Gesellschaft oder den einzelnen Menschen. In forschender Herangehensweise geht sie von konkreten historischen Ereignissen und Quellen aus, zieht wissenschaftliche und theoretische Texte bei, sammelt ZeitArtefakte, recherchiert eine Vielzahl von Biographien, die sie auch innerhalb ihrer Familie findet. Aus diesem Ausgangsmaterial kreiert die Künstlerin fiktionale Akteure, die sie als Mittel für die Untersuchung und Analyse von Mechanismen von Machtausübung, psychologischer Gewalt, Manipulation und Massenphänomene verwendet. http://www.nicbiermaier.ch/ Posted by Irene Grillo

Francoise Caraco Françoise Caraco Françoise Caraco hat ursprünglich Fotografie studiert. Fotografieren wirft für Caraco Fragen nach Standpunkt, Zeitpunkt, Blickwinkel und Ausschnitt auf und eröffnet dadurch mentale Ereignisräume für die Erinnerung oder Konstitution von Wirklichkeit. Das damit verbundene «erzählerische Moment» interessiert Caraco nicht als reine Fiktion, sondern als Versuch, sich in Bezug zur Realität zu setzen und diese somit zu produzieren. In ihren künstlerischen Arbeiten geht Caraco von realen Begebenheiten aus – meistens liegen ihnen persönliche Erlebnisse zugrunde, die sie zunächst neu kombiniert und daraus mögliche Erzählräume kreiert, welche das Verhältnis des Privaten zum Öffentlichen thematisieren. Dies geschieht hauptsächlich mit Video und Fotografie kombiniert mit Textarbeiten, in Form von Audioarbeiten und Wandtexten oder mit gedrucktem Text. Ihre Inszenierungen haben installativen, zuweilen aber auch performativen Charakter. http://www.francoise.caraco.ch/ Posted by Irene Grillo

Her medial meanderings roll over Arte Povera tendencies and poetic compositions. Using existing constructions of self and person, she attempts to expose the personal in tangible object arrangements.

Sara Nunes Fernandes Sara Nunes Fernandes Sara Nunes Fernandes was born in 1985 in Setúbal, Portugal. She studied at the Faculty of Fine Arts, Lisbon 2005 and Goldsmiths College, London 2009. Her sculptural works bounce back and forth between their complicity and their critique, or their irony and their sincerity perhaps, taking a retreat into studio practice and materiality as a rustic attempt at making ideas tangible. She collaborates with artist Lucia Prancha, with whom she has presented video and performance work in Lisbon (PT), London (UK) and São Paulo (BR). Together they maintain Negociatas, a blog where both artists input paraphernalia necessary to their collaborative work and The two of us girls disappeared all of sudden together, a periodical publication. Colin Min Sai is the moniker for one of her musical projects where plain and simple melodies around rough skinned day-today poetry are made to outlive the grey sky of a less tropical Island; the ordinary is enlarged into new, uncanny and comic reliefs from the present.

Susanne Kriemann Susanne Kriemann The essence of Susanne Kriemann’s intermedial and intertextual work is expressed in her photographic installations and corresponding artist books whose formats reflect their particular contents that revolve around historically definable objects. Kriemann’s exhibitions in particular reveal the process-oriented nature of her works, where the elements are constantly rearranged and undergo conceptual transformation. Throughout this process the book takes on a decisive role in her work, with its structure, its history, its contents and its form. http://www.susannekriemann.info Posted by Stefan Wagner

Clare Kenny Clare Kenny Kenny was born in Manchester but has been living and working in Switzerland for the last five years. She completed a Masters of Art in Public Space from the Lucerne University of Art and Design in 2010. Kenny's work is an investigation of both the material and the processes of medium with a focus upon photographic practices. Kenny‘s work only culminates when exhibited and she displays her work in a way that causes it to change and morph throughout the exhibition‘s duration. She often takes the image out from the wall into three-dimensional space—folding, rolling, and crumpling is a major part of her installation. Kenny observes how these sculptural elements, imposed on a two dimensional work, change during the time frame of the exhibition. By Creating interruptions and interferences with the photographic content she draws attention not only to the image and material of the photograph but also to the space around it and the viewer themselves. The artist‘s use of found and studio objects often created from the remnants and ephemera of photographic and studio practices, draws the viewer’s thoughts back to the studio and the process of her production. She constantly tries to open the possibilities and potential of objects by exploring and exposing the apparatus of the gallery and the exhibition. http://clarekenny.com Posted by Stefan Wagner

Flurin Bisig Flurin Bisig Flurin Bisig has studied art in Luzern, Berlin and New York. He creates sculptural installations that alter and impede the typical social space of the gallery, disrupting visitor movement as well as perception. He often works in situ and personally inhabits his exhibition space to activate situations. Bisig questions traditional forms of sculpture while drawing attention to the relationship between users of built space and their surroundings. His work also questions the viewer‘s relationship to the exhibition and he plays with the viewer by toying with their conduct and ability to move within space. He interrogates the visible and invisible systems which museum or gallery visitor structures conduct. He often alters exhibition construction during and after the opening and does not allow a barrier to be made between practice and exhibition. His installation methods reveal the relationship art has to the exhibition and Bisig‘s exhibition spaces often become not only the studio and the living space but the studio/living space becomes the exhibition. http://www.flurin-bisig.de

Isabelle Krieg Isabelle Krieg Isabelle Krieg was born in Freiburg and now lives and works in both Zurich and Berlin. She studied at the Lucerne University of Sciences and Art and has since been exhibiting extensively in Switzerland and Europe. Decay and the passage of time are often seen in the work of Isabelle Krieg. Grass growing in the gallery, paint peeling of the walls and stacks of dirty dishes inspire the viewer to contemplate the artistic process, as well as natural processes of growth and decline. The theme of location or space is another that Krieg often revisits in her work. Krieg’s installations evoke half forgotten memories of tales that the viewer has never heard and spaces the viewer has never been. The viewer is invited to enter the artist’s imagination and is brought into an alternate reality of Krieg’s design. http://isabellekrieg.ch Posted by Stefan Wagner

Danh Vo Danh Vo Danh Vo investigates the invisible boundaries between the public and the private, and the possibility of their porousness. He undermines the institutional (he curated an exhibition of works by well-known artists in his parents’ house in Copenhagen) as well as the personal (he has married and then divorced several people, augmenting his name with theirs but not sharing a private romantic life). He has collaborated on a project with Tobias Rehberger without declaring his co-authorship, and stolen an idea from his artist boyfriend for his own funding application. Vo adopts appropriation more rigorously than is often the case, to discover how much a person can actually appropriate. Another person’s idea? An art work? An identity? There is a constant back and forth that questions authorial status, ownership and the role of personal relationships that prevents the ‘appropriator’ from keeping the upper hand.

Nicole Bachmann Nicole Bachmann Nicole Bachmann is based in London and Zurich. In her practice she explores ways of knowledge production through the use of the voice, language,movement and rhythm. Using text as a starting point, she collaborates with actors and dancers to create live performances and scenarios that deconstruct language in order to create new ways of communicating and conveying information. Specifically, Bachmann is interested in how the voice can be activated by the individual to make oneself heard and used as an agent for social and political change. Thus the artist proposes alternatives to the linear creation of meaning and sense is often constructed solely through intonation, melody and rhythm in relation to the human body and objects. This interplay of physical and vocal investigations of language aims to build new scenarios and spaces for the construction of knowledge, away from the power relations and politics that are often involved in it and thus empowering the individual. A selection of solo and group exhibitions includes Performance, Tenderpixel, London January 2018 (forthcoming), Block Universe, Performance Art Festival, London, UK; London meets Altdorf, Haus für Kunst, Uri, Switzerland; Helmhaus Museum, Zurich, Switzerland, A gesture towards transformation, Tenderpixel, London, UK; (all 2017); Historical Exhibition: Sites under construction, co-curated by Francesca Gavin, Manifesta 11, Zurich, Switzerland; Performance, Haus der Zünfte, Cabaret Voltaire, Zurich, Switzerland; L*, a project by Marie-Michelle Deschamps, Darling Foundation, Montreal, CA; Take One/Take Two/Take Three, Eastside Projects, Birmingham, UK (all 2016); DOings & kNOTs / Tegevus-sõlmed, Tallinn Art Hall, Estonia Rhythm of Thought, Whitechapel Gallery, London, UK; Look Live, Performance, ICA, London, UK; Werkstipendien, Helmhaus, Zurich, CH (all 2015); Objective Considerations, MOT International Project Space, London, UK; Say it in words, Coleman Project Space, London, UK; Performance as Publishing presents: The flow between the thing and the word, Modern Art Oxford, UK; Performance as Publishing, New York Art Book Fair, with Classroom curated by David Senior, PS1, NY, US; Swiss Art Awards, Basel, Switzerland; Her recent awards include Projektbeitrag, the Swiss Arts Council Pro Helvetia; Winner Werkstipendium, City of Zurich, Switzerland; and Art Prize 2008, Nationale Suisse, Basel; she has been awarded a number of residencies including Residency at LUX, London and Residency at Edinburgh Sculpture Workshop both with Ruth Beale and the Escalator program at Wysing Arts Centre, Cambridgeshire, UK.

Casco - Office for Art, Design and Theory Design and Theory Casco - Office for Art Casco was founded in 1990 in Utrecht, the Netherlands, as a platform for experimental art. Since 1996, Casco has developed a critical programme that explores art in the public realm, questioning the relation between art and its physical, social and political environment. Central to Casco's approach has been openness and flexibility towards programming, with projects taking multiple forms; be this in public space, a publication, a discussion, a workshop, exhibition, symposium or event. Since 1996 Casco has also sporadically published its own magazine, Casco Issues. Posted by Stefan Wagner

LapTopRadio.org Joerg Koch LapTopRadio.org is a collective radio project, a mobile, sporadically and often unexpectedly streaming internet radio. It understands and conceives sound as an event. The expression of temporality that manifests itself in sound is in the centre of this project, together with the question of the thus created spatial situation – a space for communication that does away, or redefines, distances. Mobile internet access and smartphone technology leads to a system that can be mobile on both sides: transmitter and receiver are constantly manipulating given temporal and spatial situations in order to turn them into opportunities.

Les frères Chapuisat Les frères Chapuisat Les frères Chapuisat have been making installations and more since 2003. They received an artistic education abroad for a number of years before ending up in Switzerland in 2001, where their contrasting experiences led them to develop an interest in spatial studies. Their constructions transform space, turning interior and exterior boundaries inside out and toying with the perception of a subjective reality. They demand visitors’ active participation, putting them into the position of being an explorer. These environments break down visual and intellectual habits, testing the explorers and obliging them to trust in their senses. Often compared to cocoons or burrows, these installations harbour striking powers. They provoke ambiguous emotional reactions in visitors, like dreams which mingle curiosity, surprise and discomfort. http://www.chapuisat.com Posted by Stefan Wagner

Vanessa Billy Vanessa Billy Vanessa Billy explores the cyclical and notions of a mutable nature. Her sculptural works bring together a variety of forms and materials, generally making allusions to a transformative moment or action with the effect of anchoring the work to its surroundings. She was born in 1978, studied in London and now lives between London and Zurich. Recent solo shows include Kunsthaus Baselland, Basel, and Christina Wilson, Copenhagen (both 2011); Limoncello, London (2010); The Photographer's Gallery, London (2009), plus international group shows.

Ein weisses Papier ist ein guter Anfang. Der Weg vom "A" nach "B" ist aber keine gerade Linie. Die Schlaufe des Prozesses unterwegs zu dem Werk zieht Faszinationen, das Lebensgefühl, Impulse, Gedankenfunken und ähnliches in sich hinein. Eine ganze Welt. Wie lässt sich diese Welt, die Spurrichtungen und die Spannungsfelder definieren, abstrahieren und mit visuellen Mitteln darstellen? Es wird nicht direkt gesprochen, auch nicht erzählt. Die indirekte Anrede lässt dem Betrachter einen freien Raum für eigene Interpretationen.

Révész László László Révész László László Révész László Lászlóis refined exponent of computer art. An artist, performer and video maker, Revesz does not, however, abandon the possibility of using painting by experimenting with it in a complex panorama of 'access levels' , which makes the viewer uncertain as to reality and fiction, inside and outside, on the belonging of the work's conceptual part to the retinal one, and vice versa. From the multiple models of expression the media suggests to him, Revesz takes, especially in a few 1991-93 canvases, the ability to reconcile neoexpressionist models of iconic painting with low-definition electronic images. His more recent paintings demonstrate his latent interest for figuration, resolved through chromatic lighting of synthetic and fauve ancestry. http://www.revesz.eu/ Posted by Stefan Wagner

Grundstudium an den Schulen für Gestaltung Zürich und Basel; Kunst- und Bühnenbildstudium an der Hochschule für Bildende Künste Hamburg und der Universität der Künste Berlin; 2006 Meisterschülerin der Universität der Künste Berlin. In langfristig angelegten Sammlungen, die Fragen und Möglichkeiten der Dokumentierung und Archivierung von Alltäglichem nachgehen, versucht Esther Ernst Weltsplitter zu erfassen und zu ordnen. Sei es eine gezeichnete Insektensammlung, ein persönliches Archiv aus Ausstellungsnotizen oder eine Serie aus hunderten kleinformatier Photographien eines Nachlasses – das Augenmerk richtet sie stets auf jene Dinge und Ereignisse, die nicht glamourös, sondern beiläufig wie unvermeidlich sind. Seit über neun Jahren fertigt sie hierzu täglich Tagebuchzeichnungen an, die sie in raumgreifenden Installationen zeigt. Dabei beschäftige sie sich mit der Konstitution und Konstruktion von (Auto-) Biographien aus Momenten der alltäglichen Erfahrung und thematisiert zugleich Fragen nach der Erzählbarkeit von Biographien allgemein. http://www.esther-ernst.com Posted by Stefan Wagner

Walter Steiner Walter Steiner Walter Steiner (* 15. Februar 1951 in Wildhaus) ist ein ehemaliger Schweizer Skispringer. Noch heute kennt man ihn in der Heimat unter seinem Spitznamen «Der Vogelmensch», obwohl die Aktivzeit Jahrzehnte zurückliegt. Steiner holte 1972 bei der erstmals ausgetragenen Skiflug-Weltmeisterschaft in Planica den Titel. Diesen Erfolg konnte er 1977 wiederholen. 1973 wurde er ausserdem Vizeweltmeister. Bei den Olympischen Winterspielen 1972 in Sapporo gewann Steiner die Silbermedaille auf der Großschanze. Weniger bekannt ist, dass Steiner eine Lehre als Holzbildhauer absolvierte und neben den Skispringen Holzskulpturen anfertigte. Werner Herzog hielt dies in einigen wenigen Momenten in seinem Film "Die grosse Ekstase des Bildschnitzers Steiner" (1974) fest, den er in der Reihe Grenzstationen für das Fernsehen anfertigte. Steiner hat seit seinem Wegzug nach Schweden in den 90er Jahren das Schnitzen aufgegeben.

Heidrun Holzfeind Heidrun Holzfeind "Meine Arbeiten sind Portraits einfacher Menschen an einem Abschnitt ihres Lebens, an dem sie über ihre Errungenschaften, Ziele, Hoffnungen und ihren Platz in der Gesellschaft nachdenken. Diese Begegnungen mit dem Leben einfacher Menschen (Imigranten, Minderheiten, Außenseiter der Gesellschaft) und ihren Träumen, spiegeln Strukturen und Konventionen unserer Gesellschaft wider, die auf Effizienz, Erfolg und Individualität ausgerichtet ist. Sie werfen einen kritischen Blick auf Werte und Wünsche unserer Gesellschaft, Definition/Maßstab von Erfolg oder Mißerfolg, und stellen die Frage, was vom (globalisierten) "Amerikanischen Traum" übriggeblieben ist."

Prof. Judith Jack Halberstam Prof. Judith Jack Halberstam Judith Halberstam is Professor of English, American Studies and Ethnicity and Gender Studies at USC. Halberstam works in the areas of popular, visual and queer culture with an emphasis on subcultures. Halberstam’s first book, Skin Shows: Gothic Horror and the Technology of Monsters (1995), was a study of popular gothic cultures of the 19th and 20th centuries and it stretched from Frankenstein to contemporary horror film. Her 1998 book, Female Masculinity (1998), made a ground breaking argument about non-male masculinity and tracked the impact of female masculinity upon hegemonic genders. Halberstam’s last book, In a Queer Time and Place: Transgender Bodies, Subcultural Lives (2005), described and theorized queer reconfigurations of time and space in relation to subcultural scenes and the emergence of transgender visibility. This book devotes several chapters to the topic of visual representation of gender ambiguity. Halberstam was also the co-author with Del LaGrace Volcano of a photo/essay book, The Drag King Book (1999), and with Ira Livingston of an anthology, Posthuman Bodies (1995). Halberstam regularly speaks on visual culture and publishes journalism in venues like BITCH Magazine and The Nation; she is currently finishing one book titled "Notes on Failure" and beginning another on "Bats." http://www.egomego.com/judith http://college.usc.edu Posted by Urs Lehni

Achim Lengerer Achim Lengerer Achim Lengerer works with questions of language that he either thematizes in his performances or spatializes within his installations. In the last years Lengerer founded different collaborative projects: "labelfuerproduktion" (2005) was initiated by Lengerer as a collaborative, process-oriented art project that presented performances, exhibitions and events at institutions like Kunsthalle Exnergasse, Vienna or Kunstverein Braunschweig. He co-founded the artist-run space "freitagsküche" in Frankfurt a. M. in 2004 that moved to Berlin later on. The third long-term project, "voiceoverheard," is a collaboration with artist colleague Dani Gal. On the basis of archived sound documents, mainly speeches, the artists develop exhibitions and performances a. o. at INSA Art Space, Seoul, SMART Project Space, Amsterdam, Portikus, Frankfurt and Deutsche Guggenheim, Berlin. Since 2009 Lengerer runs the travelling showroom and instant publishing house "Scriptings" which is about to publish its 10th issue: "Speech practice Dissasembling voice" in collaboration with IASPIS,SW, end of March 2010. Lengerer writes currently on his first novel in script-form "Zoooom I+II". Posted by Urs Lehni

Stefan Wagner Stefan Wagner Stefan Wagner absolvierte eine Lehre als Bahnbetriebsdisponent und entschied sich Ende der 90er-Jahre Kunstgeschichte, Filmwissenschaft und Philosophie zu studieren. Er arbeitete in einigen freien Projekten als Kurator - auch wenn er sich weder von dieser Bezeichnung angezogen und weder von den damit einher gehenden Implikationen des Konzepts "Kurator" angezogen fühlt. In der hochkompetitiven Kunstwelt mit ihren prekären Arbeitsbedingungen glaubt er mehr an die Idee der Zusammenarbeit als die der Selbstrepräsentation (wie sie beispielsweise die Idee des Kurators vorlebt). Seit 2009 ist Stefan Teil des Corner College Teams. Er unterrichtet an Kunstschulen (Zürich und Genf), schreibt für Zeitungen, Magazine und Kataloge und arbeitet zurzeit in einem Kunst und Öffentlichkeits-Forschungsprojekt. Dieses Jahr lancierte er in Zusammenarbeit mit Daniel Suter von marks blond project, OFF OFF - Unabhängige Kunsträume und verschiedenen Kunstraumbetreiberinnen und -betreibern im Rahmen von CHARTA 2016 die eidgenössische Petition "Hundert Räume geben mehr Licht als ein Leuchtturm", um die Arbeitsbedingungen und Infrastrukturen in selbst-organisierten Kunsträumen der Schweiz zu verbessern.

Showroom does not have a univocal position in terms of working methods or views on art. Instead, Showrooms framework is intended to put the diversity of its practices into discursive motion. The resulting exhibition program reflects these dialogs and the social, geographical and artistic conditions and contradictions of the positions taken within them. www.showroom.st Posted by Urs Lehni

Mickry3 Mickry3 Mickry 3 was founded in 1998 by Christina Pfander, Dominique Vigne and Nina von Meiss in Zurich, right after they finished their studies in fine arts at F+F School for Art and Media Design. Their collaboration began with “M3 Supermarkt”. Arranged as an installation with over 1’000 self-made unique objects, the palette ranged from happiness pills to human organs to a female orgasm, all wrapped in cellophane and available at bargain prices. The motto was to produce inexpensive art for everybody while at the same time undermining the functioning of the art business. Somehow this subverting procedure became a slogan of the trio. Their works often relate to art history and copying, interpreting and re-interpretation is an ever-recurring aspect of their work, which has continued to develop strongly over the years. But what runs through the whole body of work created by Mickry 3 is a sense of humour and a critical but never moralistic attitude towards society. In 2006 the trio – who works exclusively in the collective – joined the Association of Swiss Sculptors AZB and moved to their conglomerate of workshops and exterior working spaces in the peripheral area of former gasworks in Schlieren. www.mickry3.net Posted by Corner College Collective
