The artistic practices assembled here deal with the often painful yet still romanticized blurring of life and work. Over the last two years, questions around the infrastructures of life and work have been resurfacing more frequently. While modes of production such as the ‘homeoffice’ are being widely introduced, notions like ‘playbour’ promise a merging of labour, play and leisure into one single activity. Not only is this promise only meant for a few, it also often leads to extensive personal exhaustion.

The walls of Shedhalle are reminiscent of its past as a production site for mechanical silk weaving from the late 19th century, when manual labour within textile fabrication moved from workers individual homes to industrial complexes. Protozone7 takes these moments and shifts in time as a horizon to reconsider old questions such as: How to buffer lives and living from total abstraction and financialization?

The artists invited developed their work within the pandemic. As many of us, they went through moments of crisis, depression, illness, loss, deprivation. They found ways to foster kinships and ecologies that supported these works without giving in to the logics of extraction. This zone hosts their specific and often slow practices, their ongoing engagements and meticulous care towards materials.

💀💀💀

SABBATUM FEVER III at the @rotefabrik is the third part of the project started by Sabrina Röthlisberger between the @kunsthalleosnabrueck and @shedhalle

In order to organize the best Sabbath of modern times, Sabrina invites @oestropolis (Paris-F) to programme musicians for this (Halloween) party.

In her works, Sabrina Röthlisberger discusses the historical and contemporary links between medicine, healing, education and power. For this, she mainly uses references to the history of art, cinema as well as allusions to her own social identity.

ŒSTROGEN is the project of the Parisian party curator Simone Thiébaut who organizes Parkingstone parties since 2015. Her new project ŒSTROGEN is promoting exclusively the trans, fem and non binary emerging scene.

SABBATUM FEVER is happy to announce that this will be the third time that ŒSTROGEN has programmed a party and the first time that Simone joined us in Switzerland…let’s show her how we welcome!

Beware beware; Because we are the witches that you will never be able to burn again !!!

NYX (djset):

NYX is a night… mare! Nyx is an apocalipcis now! Formally known as Nina Nana, the *teacher, DJx, performer, and event planner* have co-founded and co-directed the legendary GENEVEGAS parties in Geneva. Nyx got fired from Geneva’s public education because of their queer performances; they’ve been fighting the power since then. Witchx Bitchx, their sets are as fluid as the DJx themself. They play all kinds of good music, but they have a soft spot for trance and hardcore.

MESSALINA MESCALINA (performance):

Messalina Mescalina escapes from the real housewives thanks to her strange dead passing. She eats phalluses with consent and spits her pain on cis beauties since she was vaccinated. Sometimes Kate Mossanto, sometimes Catering Deneuve, there is no TW when she’s coming.

YESSI PERSE (djset):

¥€$Si PERSE (b. 2015, Internet)

Multidimensional artists and Quantum DJs based in Barcelona, Spain. IP:62.174.182.94.

Cofounders of @neurodungeon.

YESSi PERSE is a hyperstitional interface that allows their wearers to enter into alternative narratives. A Fiction Suit. This parapersona is a continuous-under-construction Avatar, an otherkin/cyborg creature manifesting in an RPG (Role Play Game) character -a radical mutant xenofaery- lost in the NeuroDungeon of an €conomystical Cybermedieval system, where elements of Science Fiction collapse with Urban Fantasy.

The current work of YESSi revolves around the mutation of institutional artistic performance with memetic variations that come from popular performative formalisations such as party contexts (using the DJ Set as format), Cosplay/LARP (Live action role-playing game), Online Communities and Virtual Worlds.

“Find Your Inner $€£₣I€,

Say ¥€$Si to YOUR$€£₣”

BORA (live):

A WIND WHISPERS. SOFT PAIN.
BORA’s (aka Pauline Canavesio) emotional cathedral is multi-dimensional, magic, it is not afraid of all that it can be, of all the forms that it can embody nor of all the voices that it can take. Her work is sprawling, drawing inspiration from a multitude of references and mediums: music, performance, painting, digital, video, sculpture and installation. As long as it is questioning body, identity and intimacy.

In the flesh there are no more bones, persists only the imprint: that of the skin, its marks, its inscribed scars and its invisible pain.

Countess Malaise (live):

Countess Malaise is a rapper, songwriter and visual artist.

With an established presence in Iceland’s underground rap scene, Countess Malaise’s high-energy performances have already gotten her the pleasure of performing at music festivals like Sónar Reykjavík, and is a welcome addition to lineups at alternative venues across Europe. Her first EP titled Hystería was released in fall of 2019 and received critical acclaim.

Malaise’s art touches upon subjects like rape culture, sexuality, love and depression. Fearless and enigmatic, Countess Malaise’s refusal to conform and her powerful live performances make this rising talent one to watch. She will be releasing her second EP Maldita 29th of October 2021.

SPORTY SPICE (djset):

SHE IS SPORTY SPICE THE ONLY ESTROGEN BEING IN INFAMOUS WIXAPOL CREW DESTROYER OF HARMONY LOVER OF TRANCE MUSIC ALWAYS 2 HARDCORE 4 U MRS WORLWIDE INTERNATIONAL FROM POLISH POMPECZKA TO JUNGLE HARDCORE.

JAMIRA ESTRADA (djset):

Jamira Estrada is a musician and dj with mexican and italian heritage based in Zurich. Curating her own events at the off-space Cuadro22 in Chur from a very early age on, her selection for the dance floor still embodies vividly the search for an invigorating collective stasis. Currently enrolled in her electroacoustic composition studies, she is examining and questioning processes based on the inventive possibilities of sonic effects. Deeply inspired by mythical fantasy worlds and organic organisms, as they cope with existential themes such as love and the struggle for survival, she resolves her work around inclusive spaces.This brought her to work on a wide spectrum of projects, such as giving DJ-workshops, creating a diverse skill-oriented plattform for femme, intersex and non-binary individuals through different collectives and collaboratively creating performances.

Line up:

22:00 – 00:00 Jamira Estrada – djset

00:00 – 00:30 BORA– live

00:30 – 01:00 Countess Malaise – live

01:00 – 03:00 NYX (feu Nina Nana) – djset + Messalina Mescalina – performance

For its production, one plotline of UKI’s multi-threaded narratives unfolds in Unity (a game engine) constructed virtual E-trashville where REIKO and the E-trashville inhabitants are featured as 3D avatars. As a viral performance in mutation, UKI virus becoming at Shedhalle stages two production aspects as performance.

[1] Open casting with locally recruited performers.

[2] Motion Capture and 3D avatar rendering of VFX in the making.

The two performances foreground “behind the scene” film production. By holding the production process in public view, the creation of a new queer scifi cinema genre is demystified. The public are invited to join the filmmakers, the performers, the hardware and the software of digital technology in a conspiring scheme of UKI virus becoming.
