The hand, the rock, your shoulder, and my mouth (2022)

Performance by and with Tyra Wigg
Free admission, no booking required
Location: Lecture Hall, MT


Within the scope of the exhibition, the Museum Tinguely will present the performance The hand, the rock, your shoulder, and my mouth (2022) by Tyra Wigg. In contrast to touch that is expressed as violence, touch as care and therapeutic practice are the focus of the performance. A literal counterweight is created through the handling of a large rock and the careful and healing treatment of the body and trauma.


Suzanne Lacy: By Your Own Hand

Suzanne Lacy: By Your Own Hand

In her video installation «De tu puño y letra (By Your Own Hand)» (2014–2015/2019), Suzanne Lacy puts us in the middle of a bull fighting arena and confronts us with harrowing accounts of women’s experiences of violence. The Los Angeles-based artist has been a pioneer of social practice, feminism and performance art since the 1970s.
