With the exhibition project Sacré 101 the Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst traces the interplay between dance and the visual arts in a sustained engagement with the ballet Le Sacre du printemps (The Rite of Spring). The work features revolutionary music by Igor Stravinsky and choreography by Vaslav Nijinsky, and its premiere in Paris a century and a year ago is regarded as one of modernism's great breakthrough moments. Alongside a selection of Le Sacre dance documentation, most of the invited artists will specially create new works for the exhibition: works that address the ballet, its context and its history in a wide variety of ways.
American artist Eleanor Antin's seminal work Recollections of My Life with Diaghilev 1919–1929 (1977/78) and Vaslav Nijinsky's drawing work (c. 1919) shall also be incorporated into the exhibition – both being presented in Switzerland for the first time.
Collection on Display examines the complex issue of space and interiors in contemporary art. The third section of this thematic cycle features works by Jan Dibbets, Jimmie Durham, Esther Eppstein, Urs Fischer, Andrea Fraser, David Renggli and Tatiana Trouvé.
The exhibition shall be accompanied by a JRP|Ringier catalogue published in cooperation with the Center for Movement Research at the Free University of Berlin / Gabriele Brandstetter.
