BANG BANG
translocal hi:stories of performance art
(8 June – 21 August 2022)
Museum Tinguely cordially invites you to the media preview
on Tuesday, 7 June 2022 at 10:30 am at Museum Tinguely in Basel
All summer long, Museum Tinguely will be celebrating performance art in the show BANG BANG - translocal hi:stories of performance art. At the heart of this process-oriented exhibition is the Swiss performance scene, its players, and its networks, although the programme will be international in character. The incredibly rich history of the medium will be presented in a unique kaleidoscope of video installations, performances, photos, and texts. It will chart the development of performance art and redraw the contours of this constantly changing discipline. As a festival of performance art, the exhibition is subdivided into seven thematic chapters, which on seven weekends will combine live performances, discussions, and presentations involving audiences, artists, scholars, and the museum.
- After a short welcome by Roland Wetzel, Director of Museum Tinguely, the curatorial team with Lena Eriksson, Séverine Fromaigeat, Muda Mathis, Chris Regn, and Andrea Saemann will introduce the seven thematic chapters of the exhibition.
- Afterwards, the performance duo Porte Rouge invites you to discover their artistic position as the first of three Cartes Blanches in the exhibition space.

Yours sincerely,
