Finissage | On the Street

Strolling, promenading, strolling, jumping, crawling, scurrying, hurrying, rushing ... We move through the streets at different speeds and in many different ways, making our way through the thicket of the city. As we walk, we draw lines, connect places, weave a web of memories and meanings. We appropriate urban space, perceive it – sometimes more, sometimes less consciously – through our senses, explore it and actualise its possibilities.

In a workshop, curator Rahel Spöhrer invites you to stroll through the exhibition On the Street, pausing at selected artistic works that place a special focus on walking, and – following the tradition of the «Dérive» according to Guy Debord – invites you to leave the museum, explore the streets and enter into a conversation while strolling: about artistic practices and the appropriation of space, about the poetics of the everyday – and to perceive the familiar, the streets of Vaduz, anew with all your senses.

Rahel Gloria Spöhrer is a curator, dramaturge and lecturer at the interface of performance and visual arts. She has been curatorial director of the artsprogram at Zeppelin University in Friedrichshafen since 2021.

Performance and multimedia artist Martina Morger kicked off On the Street with Ceremony (Einläuten). Like a modern procession, she paraded through the town of Vaduz, from the government building to the Liechtenstein Art Museum, wearing a specially made dress decorated with bells. With Ceremony (Ausläuten), the second part of the performance, she takes the same route in the opposite direction and brings the exhibition to a close.
