HOSTING PERFORMANCE in institutions, particularly those that have historically presented more traditional formats, is both tempting and tricky.
- Isabel Parkes
Open Invitation

Tempting in that, in an era propelled by visibility and all things social, performance offers a fully-fledged public programme: a moment for artists and audience alike to see and be seen, to socialize and be on the socials. Tricky in that, despite how well performance often presents on Instagram and TikTok, grand museal halls are just as frequently ill-equipped – acoustically, spatially – to host the performance, let alone care for the performers.

Bettina Pousttchi

‘Progressions’, Bettina Pousttchi’s survey at Zurich’s Haus Konstruktiv, is a striking illustration of the idea that urban space is not only the physical environment of a city – from pedestrian and surveillance structures to actual buildings – but also a projection, subject to both time-bound ideologies driving urban policy and to city dwellers’ subjective memories. Spread across three floors, the exhibition highlights the fluidity with which Pousttchi moves between industrial-scale readymades, urban architecture and photography.
