Contamination/Resilience
Hi-Intensity
The Impossibility of Living Without Each Other
Contamination means danger—and change: which systems and structures are currently in the process of dissolution? How do they change, and under which circumstances do they reappear in the current crisis? We bring in resilience as counter-image and counter-strategy. The pressing question of our time is: what makes communities and ecosystems resilient?
Contamination/Resilience gathers practices, theories, sci-fi-novels and artworks that pursue queer and eco-feminist ideas and stimulate a new way of thinking about the future. It is about sickness and care, as well as mutual support – and about reciprocal change.

Supported by Stadt Zürich Kultur, Pro Helvetia – Schweizer Kulturstiftung, Abteilung Kultur Basel-Stadt, Saly Frommer Stiftung, Badertscher AG
Participating Artists:
Le Sang, Performance
In videos, performances, sets, installations and texts, Sabrina Röthlisberger addresses pain, sickness, medically induced liminal states, death, survival, recovery and the questionable “return to normal”. In the context of CONTAMINATION/RESILIENCE, her work opens up space and time to step into an underworld – looking at the world from the perspective of the sickbed, from assumed failure and weakness, it evokes the power of the powerless, other possible worlds and a dark erotic potential.
Sabrina Röthlisbergers installation in the Protozone will be activated by the artist in the first night with the live-performance “Le Sang”, that is based on her poetry book with the same title. Sabrina Röthlisberger developed “Le Sang” at the Centre d’art contemporain in Geneva, in collaboration with fellow artists Garance Bonard (music) and Tamara Alegre (choreography).
Supported by Pro Helvetia – Schweizer Kulturstiftung
Suspending Time: Meditations for accessing alternate space/time in music
For the work Suspending Time: Meditations for accessing alternate space/time in music , Lou Drago speculates on various types of music which potentiate the experiencing of non-linear time. The audience is invited to interact with the music with the objective of attempting to experience a suspension of time.

What started out as a vigilante strategy for bringing accountability to powerful people who had previously been immune to any consequences for their actions, is increasingly becoming an unreflective method for bullying within communities. Whether to call it call-out culture, cancel-culture or shaming-culture is hotly debated, but regardless of its name, by now its toxicity is undeniable.
Lou Drago has been investigating identity politic’s role in perpetuating what socio-political observers have called the “fracturing of the Left,” and cancel-culture’s role in deepening divides along identity-based lines. For this initial workshop, Drago will introduce their ideas around enacting intersectional affinity through a process called Radical Sociability, and through a series of exercises, speculate with participants on how to be receptive and humble in order to really enact solidarity.
Together participants will be invited to share experiences and ideas as to why the ‘Left’ have so readily taken up the oppressors’ tools, and how we might combat this to encourage solidarity and empathy instead of doing capital’s divisive work for it.
Limited number of participants, please register here.
With this workshop, Shedhalle takes part in the program Ü40 – Rote Fabrik, *24.10.1980
In her practice Ehrenstein focusses on the intersections of networked images, tech and migration. Material culture as well as science and technology studies are the basis of looking at representation and platform capitalism through a queer feminist, decolonial lens.
For the “Critical Cam Girl Reading Group” Anna Ehrenstein teamed up with “House of Tupamaras” .
Ehrenstein also worked within the Collective for “Tupamaras Technophallus” , the work cycle shown at “Protozone”.
The workshop has three parts. A start through collective reading of decolonial science, tech and post-humanist studies critique spiced up with femme empowerment poetics,
second; encouraging the participator to develop it’s absolutely new posthuman alter ego and
third (virtually tune) in “House of Tupamaras” to transform oral and written theory into embodied knowledge games and cam girl dances.
Please register for the workshop here, so that we know how many of you show up :)

The self-help community dispensary
The self-help community dispensary is a space to find healing, to practice self-care and care for the community – built by the many and made for the many. It is a pharmacy for togetherness, a place to heal, to sooth, to take care and mutually protect each other.
The remedies will be made collectively on the 14th of November 2020.
The workshop is already fully booked, but the remedies can be collected from the evening of the 14th.
new to it all, soungou is excited finding his place in the (nocturnal) playground of music and celebration. With the help of cute music he hopes to create spaces, new biotopes for the queer and for the people of colour, for the coloured queers! It all is about celebrating and caring for each other.
FM MF is a duo based in Zurich. Their interest spans from early electronics to the hyper produced breaks of today. A freely assembled narration of spoken word tracks, external field recordings, collapsing noises and limping beats.
Installation + Video Screening
Dark Water, 2020 performed by Lauryn Youden is an auto-theoretical text that examines the history of mourning, lamentation and death as central to the daily lives of European society during the rise of capitalist patriarchy and the plague; as well as the divination and ritualistic practices used by many to endure this period of time.

dj-set/listening session
Around 3 a.m. Born in a bubble out of a bubble – the dj sets of Zurich’s most known unknown Baby Val form a mixture of different worlds ranging from elektro and techno to jungly breaks with a tip of cheesy rnb edits every now and then. Her way of mixing is an approach to break in and out of conventional and monotonous dancefloor rythms and to fall in another dimension of sphere that she’s going to play with – at any time possible to explode.
The Impossibility of Living Without Each Other
Contamination means danger—and change: which systems and structures are currently in the process of dissolution? How do they change, and under which circumstances do they reappear in the current crisis? We bring in resilience as counter-image and counter-strategy. The pressing question of our time is: what makes communities and ecosystems resilient?

Safe Touch
Self-isolation is an additional intimate discrimination against the elderly, the sick, and singles. But there is intimacy that doesn’t need touch, and there are ways to touch safely. Just as people developed an understanding of “safe sex” in response to the AIDS crisis, we now have to learn and promote “safe touch.”
Safe Touch is a tutorial video, directed by Ingo Niermann for the Army of Love, on how to be safely intimate with strangers during the Corona crisis

making histories together in more-than-human worlds
curated by Lucie Tuma
This Protozone is an invitation to linger and nest, to dwell and exist. The space is being inhabited by different artistic positions. Different but not separate – in difference and yet not to be separated from each other. Over years and in continuity, the practices and processes of the invited artists have been in close contact with more-than-human forms of existence. Spectres, rocks, water, algorithms, slime mold, swarms, plants, Artificial Intelligence, quantum leaps and AlterIdentities. These contacts generate a state of transpassing. With it come shifts, variations, mutations.
As soon as we enter, the hereby mutated temporalities will seize us. We are at the end of «our time».
every Saturday 14-20 and Sunday 14-18

REPRO COMMUNAL GATHERING (ReproRealityHackLab #8) Transformella malor [4.4.6.14] (emerging from J P Raether’s figurations as SelfSister’s aLifveForms.earth)
Transformella malor, an artificial being, constructed by language, technologies of skins and digital devices, holds a gathering to present and discuss their psychorealist findings on what they call „Reprovolution“ – the moments and sites driving the transformation of humanity’s reproduction by means of industrial and globalized reproductive technologies.
At the gathering Transformella will share their embodied experience in harvesting fragments of knowledge and language, sites and lifetimelines in „Repro-normality“, the invisible materialization of globalized biotechnological speculation in everysite.
The gathering is part of a series of encounters that Transformellae have called ReproReality HackLabs and that were hosted in Berlin, Lüneburg and Utrecht in the recent years. They function as a communal nexus to weave a multiplicity of narrations and research, tools and devices for reproductive justice and and queer-feminist kinship.
The session will include readings of Transformella´s repro-communal manifesto, their narrations of „Ikeality“ – a stack of reproductive normalities found at the mass reproduction storage „Ikeae everysite“ and more abstract models of entropy and negentropy of other Artificial Identities.
The gathering is also an intervention into narratives that are dominated by political formalism, professional knowledge barriers and corporate speculation. Transformella on the contrary invites to gather in queerness, expanding on mythopoetic figures and multi-species existence: Becoming chimera, realtional against biological essence and capitalist normalizations.
In English, duration for about 2-3h hours

Deborah Birch
The Orange Game is an oracle storytelling practice for collective future worldings. Remixed from a teenage divination game that functions to read an individual, this practice works as a tool for reiterated and sustained collective worldings. The Orange Game works by a continuous weaving, dreaming, and reading a landscape together. As a Weaver, I place the Dreamers somewhere and then give them each an Element to describe. Collectively the Dreamers build a landscape. Each Element has a symbolism. The Reading at the end interprets the collective worlding. The Orange Game is conceived as a modulable and sustained collective practice that develops over time in accordance with the needs of the group.
It has been developed by Deborah Birch in conversation with Sarah Parolin. Find out more about The Orange Gamehere

“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.

Would you rather feel too busy or not busy enough?*
(Fühlen Sie sich lieber zu beschäftigt oder nicht beschäftigt genug?)
Unsere dritte Protozone, You’re So Busy, präsentiert eine Reihe von Projekten live in der Shedhalle. Die eingeladenen Arbeiten werden sich während der sieben Wochen entwickeln und den Raum mit Spuren von Prozessen füllen, die sowohl vor als auch während der Protozone laufen.
Jedes Projekt konzentriert sich auf Fürsorge und radikale Liebe, wobei horizontale Organisationsstrukturen im Vordergrund stehen, die durchlässig bleiben und dem Publikum verschiedene Möglichkeiten des Zugangs und der Teilnahme bieten. Es werden dabei neue Wege erforscht, künstlerische Prozesse auszustellen, inklusive Gemeinschaften aufzubauen und Zeit im Ausstellungsraum zu erleben.
Wir glauben, dass diese Praktiken entscheidend sind, um uns zu helfen, nicht einfach mit denselben Methoden und Idealen weiterzumachen, auf die wir uns vor 2020 verlassen haben. You’re So Busy ist sowohl ein Aufruf als auch eine Weigerung, übersehen zu werden, und fordert, dass den Menschen, Praktiken und Prozessen Aufmerksamkeit geschenkt wird, die Ideen von Normalität, Produktivität und Kapital ausser Acht lassen.

Would you rather feel too busy or not busy enough?*
Our third Protozone, You’re So Busy, will present a series of projects live at Shedhalle. The works included will develop throughout its seven weeks, accumulating and filling the space with traces of processes developed both previous to and during the Protozone. Each project focuses on care and radical love, prioritizing horizontal organizational structures that remain porous, allowing audiences various points of entry and engagement. Exploring new ways of exhibiting artistic processes, building inclusive communities, and experiencing time in the exhibition space.
We believe these practices are crucial to help us not simply return or reassume activity with the same methods and ideals we relied on before 2020. You’re So Busy is both a calling out and a refusal to be overlooked, asking for attention to be paid to people, practices and processes that ideas of normal, productivity and capital discount.

Proto-Club2 (be)longing immerses us in the intimate and poetic sound – and visual worlds of four artists whose practices are deeply interwoven with queer concerns. Their works radically expand the horizon of possible representations and ideas of bodies, relationships and worlds. The people and mythical beings that appear in them resist suppression and insist on the possibilities of the present, change and queer futures.
Proto-Club is a series by Shedhalle, circulating around queer culture, eco feminism and social movements. It seeks to create an ongoing process around these topics, connecting them to speculative and science-fictional ideas.

Das Ausstellungsformat “Protozone” der Shedhalle zeigt prozess-basierte Kunst in Phasen von hoher und niedriger Intensität (Hi-/Lo-Intensity-Phases). Die aktuelle Protozone4 Extra Worlding erforscht künstlerische Praktiken des “Worlding”, was “Welten machen” oder “Welten bauen” bedeutet.
Die teilnehmenden Künstler*innen sind stark von Science-Fiction-Ideen beeinflusst. Sie nutzen digitale Technologien oder verändern Körper und Räume, um Zugang zu einer Vielzahl von Welten zu schaffen und deren Möglichkeiten zu erkunden. Extra Worlding lädt die Besucher*innen ein, in diese Welten einzutauchen und sie zu erleben.
Extra Worlding erkundet zudem die materiellen Grundlagen zeitgenössischer digitaler Technologien, die oft am “Worlding” beteiligt sind. Schliesslich bestehen digitale Technologien nicht wirklich aus “Clouds”, sondern sind vielmehr abhängig von Server-Farmen sowie Ressourcen wie seltenen Erden, Elektrizität und menschlicher Arbeit.
Können uns ‚Worlding’-Erfahrungen ermutigen, die Welten zu schaffen, in denen wir leben wollen? Und können sie unseren Widerstand gegen Welten stärken, an denen wir nicht teilhaben wollen?

Shedhalle’s exhibition format „Protozone“ focuses on process-based art through Hi- and Lo-Intensity phases. The new Protozone4 Extra Worlding explores artistic practices of worlding, a term used to describe the building or making of worlds.
The participating artists are strongly influenced by science fiction ideas. They use digital technologies or alter bodies and spaces to access a variety of worlds and explore their possibilities. Extra Worlding invites visitors to dive into and explore these worlds with their own bodies.
This Protozone also explores the materiality of contemporary digital technologies that are often involved in the process of worlding. After all, digital technologies do not really consist of “Clouds” but rather rely on server farms as well as resources like rare earths, electricity and human labour.
Can worlding-experiences open up new perspectives on what kind of worlds we want to live in? And can they strengthen our resistance against worlds we don’t want to be part of?

Shedhalle’s exhibition format „Protozone“ focuses on process-based art through Hi- and Lo-Intensity phases. The new Protozone4 Extra Worlding explores artistic practices of worlding, a term used to describe the building or making of worlds.
The participating artists are strongly influenced by science fiction ideas. They use digital technologies or alter bodies and spaces to access a variety of worlds and explore their possibilities. Extra Worlding invites visitors to dive into and explore these worlds with their own bodies.
This Protozone also explores the materiality of contemporary digital technologies that are often involved in the process of worlding.

Shedhalle is currently under construction for the new Protozone, so we’re opening the back door for a video screening of “Hardbreakes”:
All humans know it: wishing for something that in the end does not bring happiness at all. Be it in love, with plans for the future or in the search for solutions to problems – longing can also bring pain.
Inspired by Lauren Berlant’s book “Cruel Optimisim”, people in Wollishofen were asked about their unfulfilled wishes and how they deal with heartbreak. The conversations can be discovered in the video, which is published here.
10.06.-07.08.2022 > open every Sat 14-20h & Sun 14-18h, plus additional opening hours

The effects of climate change as well as of war are impacting not only the worldwide supply with fossil fuels but also very basic food supply, especially in the global south. Proto-Club3 responds to the current crisis by bringing together two artistic perspectives on the complex question of how to treat and preserve food as our basic resource of survival.

Coming up: Last public introduction by Phila & Thea: Sun, 04.12. 16h
QUEER TRUST is an attitude that draws from and relies on the in-between. It has shaped the work at Shedhalle as a space for process-based art since 2020 and is also the basis of Protozone8. The exhibition shows artistic works and ways of working that trust in relationships and processes beyond fixed attributions. The participating artists share intimate, vulnerable, open, and courageous artwork. In doing so, they question (gender) identities as well as artistic, scientific, and social traditions and classifications.
With kind support of Stadt Zürich Kultur, Kanton Zurich Fachstelle Kultur (for The Institute for Embodied Creative Practices), Tanzhaus Zurich (für Dana Michel), Embassy of Canada (for Dana Michel), Kulturpauschale Kanton Basel Stadt (for Dorota Gawęda and Eglė Kulbokaitė), Ernst and Olga Gubler-Hablützel Foundation.

Protozone9
brings together three artists for their first major institutional collaboration in Switzerland. Selma Selman, Mikołaj Sobczak, and Nicholas Grafia, friends who come from very different backgrounds, will spend a two-week-residency-period at Shedhalle. Together they will develop a spatial installation with their drawings, paintings, sculptural and video works.
And they will work on a new performance that will be presented on 16th and 17th of December, exploring the possibilities of experimental and political theatre. With references to absurdist performance and humorous play, they focus on social reality. They draw on narratives that are derived from socially stigmatized individuals and their bodily histories, but also their resilience and resistance.
