Brazilian artist Lygia Clark called her animallike, moving sculptures Bichos (critters), which could be manipulated by the viewers. In his solo, performance artist Wagner Schwartz juxtaposes his own mobility with a reproduction of such a “critter”, which looks a bit like a paper ship. Here, too, the audience is invited to intervene – not by setting the sculpture-body in motion, but Schwartz himself. This is followed by artist Laurent Goldring, who shows a film from his Dialogues series, which in turn was created in conjunction with Schwartz’s work.

With the support of the Institut français à Paris and the Institut français d’Autriche.
