Srinagar Biennale Basel
07.04.2018
Srinagar (city) is anywhere, everywhere, nowhere. Nothing happens in Srinagar. Something always keeps happening
in Srinagar. It is unpredictable. It keeps growing. In Srinagar ideas are tasted and encountered differently. Hospitality and hostility play out an even game. The boundaries between ideas, affects and effects shift constantly and get challenged endlessly. This is a true plane to invigorate practice; a plane that can enrich and remake our sense of contemporaneity, simultaneity and multiplicity.
Srinagar Biennial Basel the Swiss node, is focused mainly on Performance Arts and Multimedia based works, along the following curatorial guideline:
Art as a difficult place - Art from a difficult position.
It brings together Performances in Public, Art and Virtual spaces. Open Stage Open Air is an open performance art event at the Srinagar Biennale Basel in Collaboration with PANCH (Performance Art Network, Switzerland). The framework sees itself as an experimental platform for Performance Art in public spaces.
