Elena Bajo, The Absence of Work, Performance LISTE 17 June 11, 4 pm
Burgweg 15, Basel

A text bound to the political history of the Warteckarea will be
transformed into music by using a transcription method from John Cage.
Taking this script as a point of departure for her work, Elena Bajo
(born 1976, lives and works in Los Angeles, US and Berlin, Germany)
then begins to translate this musical syntax into a choreography of
body movements in collaboration with actors, dancers and musicians. At
LISTE, The Absence of Work explores the structure of a former
industrial facility now used for contemporary art, translating the
site-specific tradition of Institutional Critique into a collective
action space.

LISTE 17: Performance Project

Gibst Du mir Steine, geb ich Dir Sand.
Rubén Grilo, Quynh Dong, Elena Bajo, Matteo Rubbi, Jasiek Mischke,
Christian Ratti, Filip Gilissen, Rebecca Stephany

Curated by Burkhard Meltzer

The young art fair in Basel has not only been an international
platform for young galleries since the 1990s, it also initiated a
special program of performances in 2005. If you think of body-related
stage performances, interventions in everyday-life-situations or
lecture performances in the work of many artists in the past years,
you could speak of a renaissance of performative formats in
contemporary artistic practice. Unlike other exhibition spaces, an art
fair is primarily an event - a platform for conversations and
activities. You could speak of the fair itself in terms of an ongoing
performative format that continues for a week. Within that framework,
the artists of the 8th edition of the Performance Project, deal
primarily with modifications of symbolic and economic exchange by
negotiating the aesthetics of transfer.
