Lucien Wampfler in the 24hrs Project

“eine Wahrheit über die Gegenwart”

arrival: 31 May 2018 at 18:46 departure: 1 June 2018 at 16:59 24-Hour Performance Man richtet sich in seinem Dasein ein, dekoriert es, macht es sich Stück für Stück wohnlich, gemütlich, vertraut. Wiederholungen, Gewohnheiten. Ein Gefühl der Sicherheit, der Selbstwirksamkeit. Doch die Wahrscheinlichkeit öffnet dem Zufall die Tür. Konfrontation mit der unbequemen Realität - Konfrontation mit der unabänderlichen Vergänglichkeit allen Seins. Zusammenbruch der konstruierten Daseinswelt. Ganz auf sich zurückgeworfen, auf die kalte Erde. Ein Gefühl der Angst, Ohnmacht, Wut. Das menschliche Bewusstsein, zur Revolte fähig und vielleicht dazu verdammt. Was bleibt. S.C. Lucien ist 1989 in Genf geboren. Zuerst studierte er Psychologie in Genf, Berlin und Zürich. Unzufrieden mit der Wissenschaft und nicht fähig, seine Vorstellung der Welt zu akzeptieren, wandte er sich der Kunst zu. Seine Geste versucht, gewisse Wahrheiten zu erforschen. Er studiert derzeit Kunst & Medien an der Zürcher Hochschule der Künste. Er lebt und arbeitet in Zürich. www.hallogurke.com

English version We make ourselves at home within our own existence, we decorate it, step by step making it feel homely, comfortable, familiar. Repetitions, habits. A feeling of security, of self-efficiency. But probability opens the door to coincidences. Confrontation with the uncomfortable reality – confrontation with the unalterable transience of all existence. Collapse of the constructed world. Thrown back at ourselves, on the cold earth. A feeling of fear, powerlessness, anger. The human consciousness, able to revolt and maybe doomed too. What remains. S.C. Lucien was born in Geneva in 1989. He first studied Psychology in Geneva, Berlin and Zurich. Unsatisfied with science and not able to accept its conception of the world, he turned to art. His gesture tries to explore certain truths. He currently studies Art & Media at the Zurich University of the Arts. He lives and works in Zurich. www.hallogurke.com

“Vivid orbit”, Ahmed Mohsen Mansour in the 24hrs Project

From the 24th of January at 18:00 to the 25th of January at 18:00

Ahmed Mohsen Mansour (*1987) is an Egyptian Artist based in Cairo and currently in residence at Rote Fabrik, Zürich, thanks to Pro Helvetia Cairo. Mansour has participated in several exhibitions and workshops within the fields of video, photography and animation in Egypt, USA, UK, Italy, Germany, France, Slovakia, Spain, Emirates and Saudi Arabia. Mansour’s work is based on memories of events he has been involved in. Fascinated by the endless oscillation of the human condition, he looks at what can start as a triumph and turns into a manifesto of defeat, leaving a sense of what could have been. He distorts those phenomenons through diligent personal practice, leaving the viewer with a testament from the edges of his world.

“Vagina Soup & Formal Fuckers”, Christina Jonsson in the 24hrs Project

2 June - 3 June 2 18:00 to 18:00 Tart, Gotthardstrasse 54, 8002 Zürich, Switzerland

Event Page HERE

"She lays down, she gets up, she gets around and when she can’t dance no more she gets into the kitchen heating up the situation. Eventually the kitchen has become her studio, and her studio has been a Café, a Hotel and a Garden when it isn't a travelling soup laboratory exhibiting some of her major Fuck-Ups. The kitchen and its dynamics is of major interest in the actual research and productions of the artist and this is why she stirs her Vagina Soup everywhere she goes. She takes care of employing mostly fuckable vegetables, adding some tomato juice. She follows no recipe in her kitchen works, sticking to love, meditation, some painting and hard work. Even though she takes distance from the old school and traditional imperialisms, she considers herself to be a European multiple (Christina, Christian & Christ ). Sharing fucking soups and Fuck-Up Cakes with the public are part of the whole experience, as we know now, that we become not only what we believe but also what we eat. And art has to be nutritious." With the intention of investigating the relational attraction within art and art display, Christina Jonsson puts up situations where stuff mingles with persons and people mingle with each other getting together and the whole thing becomes a big hot Soup, all the rest being nothing but formalities. As she tries to get a hand on the fugitive borderline running between intimacy and formalities, she also investigates notions of public and private voices and domains. Christina Jonsson  also works with the intention of fixing formalities, and she has been taking care of making ever lasting traces of these bagatells. By observing them in time and space, notes have been taken and pictures have been painted. Formally she will be showing off as she stirs the soup all around the clock, if she isn't of course too tired to do so. Then, probably someone else will do it. She will host and perform the show all around the clock and she will be respectful with respectful visitors, all around the clock. The others, whoever they might be, will not be allowed in and if they’re already in, they will be shown the door. Christina Jonsson is a native Dane, travelling around the old European continent in an eternal state of professional tourism. After a classic education, which included linguistic studies in Denmark, she travelled to Italy and worked as a go-go dancer around the country, from Rimini to Rome and from Verona to Bari (the famous Cubista’s ). Eventually she joined the fine art academy in Ravenna, completing her studies in 2004 (cum laude). Afterwards she travelled to Lausanne and was invited to join an artist residency at the private art school Têtard. Employment and multiple ongoing collaborations followed. She Joined the HES-ECAV (Walis) to study Art in Public Spheres, obtaining  her master degree in 2012 (cum laude). In 2011 she co-founded the art space Saint-Valentin (Lausanne ) and the CultureHotel (Leysin), initiating from 2016, a program of artistic residencies. Her works have been in shows more or less regularly since 1999. Lately, solo shows have been on in Copenhagen (Udstillingsstedet Sydhavn Station), Bienne (Local-Int), Geneva (Milkshake Agency). www.jonssonchristina.wordpress.com www.saint-valentin.biz www.tetard.ch

“Contraint à courir après des ombres plus séduisantes que la réalité ; essays on shadows”, Amélie Brisson-Darveau in the 24hrs Project

From Thursday 6th October at 18.00 to Friday 7th of October at 18.00 Address: Tart, Gotthardstraase 54, 8002 Zürich Click here to access the event page

What is the texture of a shadow”, is the question interlacing my entire artistic practice. In this project, my interest focus on the use of shadows in film noir - and its relations to neorealist and expressionist movies - as a way to transform the subjectivity of its figure. Furthermore, how these plays between shadows and light contributes to craft aestheticized monsters? The project consists in different essays taking parts in a larger series on the depersonalization of the shadow. The essays take the form of animated wood boxes investigating ways of distortion, transformation and depersonalization of the figure through contrast of textures of light and shadow on different scenography structures (architecture and textiles). The boxes generate resonances between different areas of my researches on shadow theatres and marionettes (from Sophie Taeuber Arp), dreams, scenographies from film noir, expressionist and neorealist, sounds, lines of textuality, Plato’s theory of forms, Meyerhold’s studies on movement, and the Triadisches Ballett from Oskar Schlemmer. Animated from inside and outside the boxes (by transforming the exhibition space in an animated scenography), I am interested in the assemblage of two spaces: the filmic space and the real space. The public is invited to activate the boxes by moving elements of the scenography or their own body to experiment with casting shadows. (inspired dialog from Le notti biache).

“if it's not going to be fired, it shouldn't be hanging there”, Eleonora Meier in the 24hrs Project

From Thursday 11th February at 18.00 to Friday 12th of February at 18.00

" Everything has to be necessary in order to justify its presence. With this in mind she painted this series of five water-colour paintings. The studio of Cekov, vitrines of castello Sforzesco, the exhibition space of a friend, two interior views of the replica of the scarface villa built by a true mafia boss. Real spaces which become theatre settings. The paradox of theatre is that just theatre, which is of all the place of falsehood, of invention, representation, becomes the place of possible truth. Therefore of truths. "
