Water Yump – A swimming ensemble in the Rhine

Water Yump – A swimming ensemble in the Rhine pays homage to George Brecht’s Water Yam and continues Geiger’s series of artistic practice (e.g. Kunsthalle3000, Festival of Minimal Actions) that operates at the intersections between public, private and institutional spaces seeking contact with different forms of public. He considers these works to be stages for collaborations, dialogue and confrontation. These projects are not based on the notions of individuality but include the works of other artists as to become part of a common, public sculpture. For Water Yump we are inviting the audience into direct contact with the works of 12 artists. This encounter will be taking place in an especially notable exhibition space – the Rhine river.

Curated by Benedikt Wyss. With floating works by Nino Baumgartner, Nicolas Chardon, Sergio Rojas Chaves, Mathilde Denize, Florian Graf, Klara Hobza, Thomas Jeppe, Rafaela Lopez, Ana Navas, Bianca Pedrina, Johannes Willi and Billy X. Curmano
