TINGUELY@HOME #70 Clara Bausch: Glocken — Wolle / Tal

Performance im Rahmen der Ausstellung «Labouring Bodies».


Glocken — Wolle / Tal (2026) is the title of Clara Bausch’s re-enactment and interpretation of Margaret Raspé’s performance Glocken — Wolle (1986). Through the plucking and cleaning of raw wool, as well as the sound of the bells worn on the hands, labour becomes tangible as a physical and acoustic process. The performance refers to a story about a wanderer and a mountain, in which questions of perception, knowledge and being unfold between human beings, labour and the body.

Labouring Bodies

Labouring Bodies

«Labouring Bodies» explores the manifold interdependence between body and technology from a feminist perspective. The group exhibition shows how the human body—especially the feminized and marginalized human body—has since the dawn of the modern age been shaped and controlled by machines, while also being understood as a site of resistance. Artists cast light on working with machines, on the technologization of production and reproduction, and on women’s contribution to technological progress, inviting visitors to rethink their notions of body, labour and care.
