Leisure Artist

hNC — agency of the new comtemporay

* 1 + 3 Gala program and performance concept | 4—6 lettering and templates for the sash and the 'Leisure Artist' *

concept «Leisure Artist»

The hNC team of artists* was invited to contribute to the opening gala, which took place in the context of the parallel events of MANIFESTA 11. Once in the form of a short performance of 10 seconds and as well as through the silent auction of material/​objects of a current or past performance, or other art objects.

I started singing the song «All my love» (1963) by the Beatles for 10 seconds. In the LUPE-action «Leisure artists» in June 2016, which had taken place at the Sechse­läu­teplatz, I had stuck strips of paper with the writing 'Leisture Artists' on my clothes and on the one of all visitors*. For this gala, I made a glamorous bow out of old embossed wallpaper, just like the beauty queens wear, with the lettering 'Leisure Artist'. I auctioned this ribbon at the gala. I also auctioned off Monica Germann's utensils, which she had used in her performance in the LUPE-action «Leisure artists» on the Sechse­läu­teplatz, as she could not be present at the gala.
