In October 2008, the performance artist Alexandra Bachzetsis (born 1974 in Zürich, Switzerland) presented “Show“, her first major institutional exhibition as a series of interconnected live acts in the main hall (Oberlichtsaal) of Kunsthalle Basel.
Bachzetsis’ exhibition including rehearsals for performances was open for viewing during Kunsthalle’s regular opening hours. The exhibition’s run was punctuated by following performances, scheduled to take place weekly: “Dream Season” (October 24/25, 2008, 8pm); “Gold” (October 31, 2008, 8pm); “Show Dance” (November 8, 2008, 8pm); “Handwerk” (November 14, 2008, 8pm).
