Art Weekend
If all of life is centered around work – how about work being a bit more like life, or like, living?
Protozone7 at Shedhalle Zürich is dedicated to the realm of non-work, creating zones for invisible processes that take place when we rest, laugh, love and non-work. Such zones have become an endangered species. Their ecologies thrive on abundance and generosity. They don’t want anything from you in return. These zones are there as themselves, full yet never complete, meshworks of possibilities that allow for stillness, pause, rest. Time is a scarcity yet mysteriously enough, there is more than enough of it here.
Zones of
Kinship,
Love & Playbour

“Pure
Life”
Open Research
Tarik Hayward
(5.12.21 16:00-17:30)
CANCELLED due to illness
During his two weeks of research at Shedhalle, Tarik Hayward invites the audience to a research moment revolving around his work “Pure Life” (2019). “Pure Life” was developed in the context of an exchange with American poet, playwright, and translator Ariana Reines organized as part of Swiss Foundation Pro Helvetia’s Cahier d’artiste publication series (click here for the publication).
“Pure Life” is named after a water from a well-known Swiss multinational company and consists in water extracted from pig’s blood. Hayward reproduces this exact moment of water extraction for an interested audience at the Shedhalle on December 5.

Virus
Becoming
a viral performance in mutation
Shu Lea Cheang, 2021
With Isabelle Arvers (producer), Mathieu Marguerin (VFX director),
Roland Lauth (3D avatar design) and Aérea Negrot (music composition)
Sa, 18.9. 17-20 open casting performance
So, 19.9. 16-19 motion capture performance
UKI Virus Becoming takes the script excerpts from Shu Lea Cheang’s UKI, a sci-fi viral alt-reality cinema in the making and stages aspects of UKI’s film production in progress as live performance with its production crew members and the presence of spectators.
Conceived as a sequel to Cheang’s acclaimed scifi cyberpunk cult film, I.K.U. (2000), UKI tells the story of REIKO, a defunct IKU (orgasm) coder dumped on E-trashville by GENOM Co., whose eventful trajectories through the E-trashvile lead to UKI virus becoming. In her attempt to reboot herself, REIKO engages herself with the diverse, other-worldly E-trashville inhabitants that include human, non-human, nerds, geeks, trans-mutants, symbionts, microbes and variants. Emerging as UKI the virus amidst the noise blast, UKI propagates as critical mass and takes up the mission to infiltrate the occupied human body, to sabotage GENOM Co’s OrgaNismo production, to reclaim her own lost IKU data.

«Our times of political unrest are at once etched into our digital timelines, our bodies and our dreams. Accordingly, these phantasmagorias challenge traditional images of landscape photography and painting, these images asking, what does the landscape of affect look like?»

“As water, we all owe ourselves to other bodies of water. As water, we all eventually pass our waters on. Even while in constant motion, water is also a planetary archive of meaning and matter. To drink a glass of water is to ingest the ghosts of bodies that haunt that water.»
Astrida Neimanis
The River Oracle is meant to be a situating tool for self reflection, asking questions to the river, wondering what it can tell us. The cards are trying to find their way into material reality through you. We are not particularly interested in thinking about the oracle as a tool to predict your future. What we actually want is for you to connect with your present, with a sense of deep knowledge, in order to embrace (self-) awareness. The cards are printed by water and infused with stories created by an encounter of artists in the riverine ecology of the Rhein.
The River Oracle was developed by Paloma Ayala, Anne-Laure Franchette, and Riikka Tauriainen. Cyanotypes printed by Paloma Ayala, Vanesa Ayala, Anne-Laure Franchette, Jocelyn Lopez, Carolina Opazo, Laura Rodriguez, Riikka Tauriainen, Kay Zhang, and PlanteSorcieres – Caterina Giansiracusa / Andrea Herrera Poblete.
