MyCase

Kunsthalle Luzern, Luzern

A homeBASE revision with 300 files. Before and during MyCase, artists are offered a special kind of service: they are invited to dispose of their obsolete, outdated portfolios, old project submissions, out sorted work descriptions and publications.


comunicato stampa

The project within the re-launch of the BASIS. Concept in cooperation with Stephan Meylan (value).

Artists have to apply constantly: Whether for projects, exhibitions, grants or in competitions – portfolios are imperative. Since 2001 the Kunsthalle Lucerne hosts the documentation files of nearly 300 artist from Central Switzerland.

This summer all of the artist documentations have been updated. Not only the content of the portfolios but also the outer appearence of the casing will be renewed step by step. This process is introduced by the project "myCase", where the portfolio boxes will be rearranged – in a spatial and discursive sense.

Before and during "myCase – a homeBASE revision with 300 files" artists are offered a special kind of service: They are invited to dispose of their obsolete, outdated portfolios, old project submissions, out sorted work descriptions and publications. The artists are asked to remove their big administrative mountain of paper, which their career choice brings along, from their jammed desks and cellar compartiments. The shelved documents, which reflect the previous stages of an artist's career – not unlike the portfolios – find their temporary home in the Kunsthalle after being shreded. The paper snippets will be filled into garbage bags, sealed and reused as beanbag chairs for visitors.

Behind every box filled with documentary material stands an individual artistic story and career – accordingly to the term "myCase". In line with this, audio stations are placed in the Kunsthalle, where the audience is able to listen to the voices of certain members of the documentation spot talking about their previous and future career and reflecting on the documentation of their works.

Interviews with: Daniel Häller, Susanne Hofer, Miroslav Jurendic, Radoslav Kutra, Niklaus Lenherr, Bruno Müller-Meyer, Christina Peretti, Dorothea Rust, Verena Vanoli, Esther Wicki-Schallberger.
