The Absence of Work Elena Bajo Curated by Burkhard Meltzer for Performance Project LISTE 17 Performers: Ona Dri Soa, Claudia Kühne, Christine Lehmann, Ida Sons Wednesday June 13th 2012 7 pm Warteck Building-Tower, 4th floor- Alchemia Raum Burgweg 15, 4058 Basel, Switzerland 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. Performance Project (pdf) ( http://www.elenabajo.com/Performanceliste17_EN.pdf ) 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.
