ACT Performances 2025 - Performance Festival
Newly developed performances and performative projects as part of the annual ACT Perfromance Festival of the Swiss art academies.
ACT is conceived as an open laboratory for students of Swiss Art Academies to experiment with performative artistic strategies. With sculptures, drawings and photographs, ACT Basel 2025 is given a meaningful context on the occasion of the exhibition “Medardo Rosso. Inventing Modern Sculpture”.
On Friday 25 April 2025, the festival opens with the talk The Exhibition Space and the Expansion of Performance by Alexandra Pirici, artist and Professor for Performance in Contemporary Art at AdBK Munich.
As the festival’s keynote speaker, Pirici sets the stage for ACT Basel 2025 with reflections on the historical and contemporary relevance of performance. Performance is a notion that names many things including movement, body experimentation, dance and expression. But in 2025 performance also underscores the fundamental importance of presence: being there, being there for each other as well as being there to be perceived and acknowledged. Pirici’s introductory talk connects performative practices to the convention of the exhibition space and the context of the museum. Looking at performance as an intermedial field, her contribution offers a brief survey of its history—its ongoing evolution and expansion into new forms and formats, in response to a transforming (art)world.
Furthermore, it emphasizes the potential of live action and/or other forms of agency to reshape and complexify traditional exhibition displays.
A cooperation with Institut Kunst Gender Natur, Hochschule für Gestaltung und Kunst Basel FHNW. Organized by Marion Ritzmann und Hannah Weinberger.
