Outsight: Women on stage - views and perspectives

In cooperation with the Zurich musician and artist Franziska Bruecker, the February salon invites you to see and be seen differently.
Women on stage - what makes this setting still (supposedly) risky? How do we look, how do gazes inscribe themselves and continue to inscribe themselves in us? After the performance solos by Bernadette Köbele and Margaux Huber, we will discuss these questions with the artists, with feminist cultural critics and with you.

Biographys

Franziska Bruecker is a musician, composer and curator. Her instruments are voice and electronics; her aesthetic language is absence. She places her work in the tradition of conceptual art, sample culture, electroacoustics and songwriting. Voice and electronics are used in a broad artistic practice: concerts, installations, performances, audio pieces, theater. Bruecker is part of the collective Bruecker_Meister_Trauffer, the Atelier für Digitalstoffe and is the initiator of SALON OUTSIGHT.

Bernadette Köbele is an artist and performer who deals intensively with (post-)colonial masquerades and patriarchal structures in her work. In her piece “I like patriarchy and patriarchy likes me * stage”, she examines the manipulation and oppression of female spaces and poses provocative questions about the freedom and presence of women on stage. Inspired by Joseph Beuys' performance “I like America and America likes me”, she performs with a husky to illustrate the ambivalence and challenges of female performance in a patriarchal context. Her artistic research combines music, choreography, video and text to create associative spaces of consciousness that contain both abstract and concrete elements. Köbele studied violoncello in Salzburg, Paris and Basel and transdisciplinary art at the Zurich University of the Arts (ZHdK). Köbele's performances are processual and explorative, characterized by detailed investigations and critical questions that address the role and space of women in the art world.

Margaux Huber is a transdisciplinary artist from Fribourg. In her work “UNTITLED”, she combines writing, performance and sculpture to create temporal ruptures that exist outside of normative and patriarchal constraints. Her new project consists of experimental sound pieces that she records in public spaces and in nature. She transforms these recordings into performative dimensions by using her voice and gestures to create an immersive universe. Huber's approach is sensitive and reflects her queer identity, exploring new forms of love and coexistence and creating spaces where encounters and mutual recognition are possible. Huber studied at the Bern University of the Arts (HKB) and graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in 2022.
