Bang Bang exhibition. Museum Tinguely, Basel

BANG BANG – translocal hi:stories of performance art

8 June – 21 August 2022
An exhibition project by Revolving Histories/Performance Chronik Basel and Museum Tinguely

I participate in this vast and exciting exhibition and series of events brought by Window of Fame.

About BANG BANG (source: Museum Tinguely) :
All summer long, Museum Tinguely will be celebrating performance art in the show BANG BANG - translocal hi:stories of performance art. At the heart of this process-oriented exhibition is the Swiss performance scene, its players, and its networks, although the programme will be international in character.

"White, Black, and Things" part of the series Open Futures, Shedhalle

White, Black and Rituals is a public metaphorical meal in which I will invite to savor togetherness through the personal stories of Spanish women.
The event is part of the series Open Futures: a new cultural initiative in Zurich and also a cooperation between the Shedhalle, the Gessnerallee, the Tanzhaus with Newrope, the Architecture and Urban Transformation Laboratory of the ETH.

Open Futures is dedicated to sustainability and at the same time understands itself as sustainable, both towards the artists and the overarching ecosystem.

White, Black and Rituals is part of the series of talks, performances, and exhibitions organized by Club La Fafa.

"New languages, environments, cultures, ways of socializing... I have taken my body and my head to new routines over the years, in an almost schizophrenic search for, or escape from, an identity that I cannot identify. Born and raised in Madrid, I have lived in New York, Amsterdam, Barcelona, London, Shanghai, Brussels... and now in Zurich. I can't discern if I belong here or there, if I'm returning or leaving, every time I come to Madrid, or each time I return to Zurich."

In El Cuerpo de Nuestro Tiempo the artist Alicia Velázquez (Madrid, 1969) proposes to temporarily inhabit the space in which series of ritualistic works establish a dialogue with and through time. Quotidian, intimate and also unknown presences, mirrors of a foreign identity that poses questions while searching for her own.

“Nuevos idiomas, entornos, culturas, maneras de socializar… He llevado mi cuerpo y mi cabeza a nuevas rutinas a lo largo de los años, en una - casi esquizofrénica - búsqueda, o escapada, de una identidad que no consigo identificar. Nacida y crecida en Madrid, he vivido en Nueva York, Ámsterdam, Barcelona, Londres, Shanghai, Bruselas… y ahora en Zúrich. No llego a discernir si pertenezco aquí o allá, si estoy de vuelta o yéndome, cada vez que vengo a Madrid, o cada vez que regreso a Zúrich.”

En El Cuerpo de Nuestro Tiempo la artista Alicia Velázquez (Madrid, 1969) propone habitar temporalmente el espacio en el que series de trabajos ritualísticos establecen un diálogo con y a través del tiempo. Presencias cotidianas, íntimas y también desconocidas, espejos de una identidad ajena que lanza preguntas mientras se busca a sí misma.
