OPENING RECEPTION: TUESDAY NOVEMBER 12 / 6 - 9PM
with a performance by ELECTROPHILIA
featuring Koether and Parrino at 7PMTaking inspiration from the anarchic history of Dada and their own involvement with punk rock, Jutta Koether and Steven Parrino have come together to create BLACK BONDS, an exhibition which reinvents anti-art's collaborative spirit. The gallery will feature Koether and Parrino's "failed paintings": blacked-out by the artists to cancel, and in turn, reconstruct their works. The black paintings will serve to define a conceptually destructed environment in which six noise performances will take place. Koether and Parrino will perform as Electrophilia at both the opening and closing events, and have invited Black Dice, Foot, Christian Marclay and Merzbow to join their collaboration. Looking to our avant-garde roots in Zurich, the SI will serve as a new Cabaret Voltaire, hosting a reincarnation of noise, and anarchic play, in the spirit of both Dada and punk rock.
