With a background in theatre, opera, choreography and performance, Thea and Phila will share their experience of curating, producing and feedbacking live artistic formats. What are the chances and challenges of working with ephemeral arts in the visual art context?
Students will take a set of methodologies and hands-on practices from this course to engage with ephemeral art forms as curators, mediators, communicators or other facilitators. Furthermore, they will learn about working within an institutional context or instituting one while developing a shared practice with various artists, different teams, and manifold guests. This includes building institutional infrastructures, hosting, writing applications, budgets and production plans, creating public relations, and developing outreach and education programmes.
A vision of the institution as a shared process and place of social justice and diversity drives the approach the course engages with. The course will be adapted to the practices and interests of the participants, which will be worked on and presented at the open studios.
Thea Reifler and Phila Bergmann collaborate in the fields of music theater, opera, performance, installation, direction and curation. In recent years they have developed process-based interdisciplinary projects with a queer-feminist focus.
In 2020, Thea Reifler and Phila Bergmann began working as artistic directors at Shedhalle Zurich, a position they will hold until 2025. In cooperation with the curatorial team there, they have developed the idea of the PROTOZONE as an exhibition format for process-based art. In 2021 and 2022, they co-directed the Bone-Performance Festival in Bern. Until the summer of 2023, Thea Reifler was teaching in the department of architecture and art at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH). Phila Bergmann has been part of the research project COLLECTING THE EPHEMERAL – Prerequisites and Possibilities for Making Performance Art Last at Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Art, where they also work as a lecturer. Thea Reifler and Phila Bergmann also work together as Social Justice & Radical Diversity Trainers, with a focus on gender and class. Their artistic work has been shown at Hamburger Bahnhof, 3HD Festival, KW Institute for Contemporary Art, Radialsystem (all in Berlin), SpielArt- Festival Munich, Nowy-Teatr in Warsaw, Zurich Theater Spektakel and Opera Darmstadt, among others. Recently their essay WHEN CONTEXT COMES FROM PROCESS: THE PROTOZONES METHOD was published in the book Politics of Curatorship.
