VERSCHOBEN: Performance with Legion Seven
© Legion Seven
Please note: This event has been postponed to Sunday, 29.05.2022 (16:00 and 17:00). More information will follow shortly.
As part of the accompanying programme of the exhibition Frida Orupabo – I have seen a million pictures of my face and still I have no idea, Legion Seven will develop a sound performance that enters into a dialogue with Orupabo's works to explore the tensions of identity, belonging and representation.
Legion Seven (*1993, CA, lives and works in Berlin and Basel) is a vocal artist, performer and writer that breaks with normative constraints: the wreckage of the literal cult rigidity into which they were born is scattered into dream mythologies, science fiction and chaos logics that spawn projects as diverse as the imagination. For almost a decade, the interdisciplinary and experimental performances of Legion Seven have been enriching the Swiss arts and music cultures scene. In 2018 Legion Seven was awarded the Basel Media Art Prize and the Basel Promotional Culture Award.
Conceived in collaboration with Museum Rietberg Zurich and its exhibition ‘The Future is Blinking’ (18.03.–03.07.2022), the newly developed performance will also address the tension that opens up between the two exhibitions in the way they speak of photographic representation and self-determination. The performance will take place on Sunday, 29.05.2022, in the exhibition spaces of Fotomuseum Winterthur and on Saturday, 28.05.2022, in the spaces of Museum Rietberg Zurich.
