Performance-Premiere von Andrea Saemann


The new performance by the Basel based performance artist Andrea Saemann is part of a larger work series entitled 'Generation Gap', which the artist started 2002 with a grant by the Kunstkredit Basel. In 'Generation Gap'‚ the artist researches performance pioneers of an older generation such as Valie Export, Ulrike Rosenbach of Laurie Anderson.

Saemann is interested in their fame and in the effect their age has on their artistic approach. While on the one hand researching the explicitly female history of performance art, Saemann also develops her own artistic language and performances. Her new performance makes a reference to the American artist Carolee Schneemann, who‚s works on themes of the body and gender changed the performance genre radically in the 60ties and 70ties.
