Le Mouvement: Performing The City: Performing The City. 12. Schweizerische Skulp Gianni Jetzer

Publisher Marketing: The 12th iteration of the Swiss sculpture exposition "Le Mouvement" writes a brilliant new chapter in the project's sixty-year history with the most radical presentation the format has yet seen. In keeping with its tradition of thought-provoking interventions, "Le Mouvement--Performing the City" undertakes a searching interrogation of the definition of art in the public sphere: it features not a single work of sculpture and is instead entirely dedicated to the genre of performance art in public settings. The two curators Gianni Jetzer (New York) and Chris Sharp (Mexico City) have conceived an exhibition that places particular emphasis on the human body in physical and social action. The book accompanying the exhibition presents unique documentary materials to introduce readers to legendary historic performance pieces since 1963 and surveys contemporary positions. The roster of fifty-nine contributing artists reads like a who is who of performance art today.
