Taking inspiration from the anarchic roots of both Dada and punk rock,
Black Bonds reinvents anti-art's collaborative spirit with an exhibition of
blackened paintings that serve to define a destructed / reconstructed
environment, in which six noise performances will take place. Paying
hommage to the Cabaret Voltaire, the SI will serve as a site of the
reincarnation of the great avant-garde spirit of Zurich in 1916...
"Jutta and I had a discussion about failed paintings. Maybe the color
wasn't right or they were fucked-up in some way (physically,
ideologically, or by situation). Our solution was to save them by blacking
them out, cancelling the image/object. A positive/negative, deconstruct
to reconstruct, chaos to order to chaos...We decided to show these
re-claimed paintings and dedicate the show to Hugo Ball's "Mr. Death",
caught in the flux between dissonance and consonance." -S.P. 2001
