PERFORMANCE REIHE NEU-OERLIKON Performance Art Festival in Public Space | Zurich
Aug 27, 2022
Location
Zurich, Switzerland.
Description
Live performance at Neu-Oerlikon, Zurich.
The PERFORMANCE REIHE NEU-OERLIKON has established itself not only in Neu-Oerlikon as a place of performance art, but also as an important discussion platform in the city of Zurich. It has been positioned in the public space, with a view to exchange and dialogue between artists and the audience. The direct contact between art and people is also encouraged.
New experiences and lustful approaches to the understanding of performance art should be in the foreground. At the same time, a dialogue should make boundaries between the audience and artists disappear, but should also be a studio and laboratory. A laboratory for communication and acting studio in which the performance genre is presented, as well as discussed. The PERFORMANCE REIHE NEU-OERLIKON should be accessible to a wide public and, unlike in culturally defined space, these performances in public space are exposed to very different groups and potential dangers.
Art in public space brings about and moves a โ not quite everyday โ possibility to look at the world in which we live with different eyes, to reflect on it and to discuss it. This also raises the cultural-political question of temporary artistic approaches and interventions. The PERFORMANCE REIHE NEU OERLIKON is also an important platform for performance artists not only from Switzerland.
More than 170 artists have performed at the PERFORMANCE REIHE NEU-OERLIKON in the last eleven years.
