Re-Enactment with Clara Bausch, Artist
Free admission, no booking required, duration 20 min.


“Pluck at wool with bells on fingers … Clean the wool, loosen it, use hand movements to generate sounds of work rhythm.” The artist Clara Bausch presents her interpretation of the performance Glocken – Wolle (Bells, Wool, 1986) based on the instructions written by Margaret Raspé (1933–2023). In her camera-helmet films, installations, poems, Raspé dealt with repetitive and automated hand movements, especially in the context of female-coded labour.


Labouring Bodies
10 June - 8 November 2026

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.
