DADA

Shuffle by Christian Marclay

British clarinettist Gareth Davis skilfully moves between contemporary classical music and free improvisation, between rock, noise and electronic, in recordings, projects and performances with an eclectic flavour. Davis himself, who accompanied by the bass voice of Andreas Fischer will perform Christian Marclay's work 'Shuffle', which he describes as a kind of game. Marclay, born in California in 1955 and raised in Geneva, is a composer and visual artist; with Shuffle, he involves musicians and audience in a performance that is created as cards are drawn at random from a deck.

Act of LemoDada by Akemi Takeya

✧ Italian Premiere
Lemons are the central motif in the work of artist Akemi Takeya. Under the title Lemonism, the artist has been focusing her work on this sour citrus fruit since 2015. With her new work "The Act of Lemodada", she brings the Dadaism of the 1910s and 1920s into the 21st century as anti-bourgeois, anti-war counter-art: "The Act of LemoDada is an encounter with the present, a search for utopia, a confrontation between body and lemon, original and copy, tragedy and comedy, nonsense and sense. Who wins the absurd battle "Lemo(n) vs. Dada" is of secondary importance: There's nothing to lose anyway!" (Takeya). Takeya's "lemonist" confrontation with various movements in art history became her own personal "ism": Lemonism. Beginning with LEMONISM x ACTIONISM, then JAPONISM, MINIMALISM, SYMBOLISM and DADAISM, various -isms were paraphrased and finally brought together to form Takeya's own unique artistic world.
