nicht eine führung
eine abstrakte führung durch die ausstellung die keine führung ist oder ganz viele parallel neben- und gegeneinander. ein mich führen lassen von dem was gerade in dem moment ist, von dem was mir zu-fällt.

schattenwanderung | shadow walk
beim höchststand der sonne gibt es nur einen kleinen schatten. mit dem wandern der sonne wird der schatten länger und länger.
ich lege den schatten mit steinen. mit dem lauf der sonne und den immer länger werdenden schatten lege ich weiter und weiter.
ich spreche fortwährend vor mich hin. nur für die, die ganz in meine nähe treten, bin ich hörbar.
werden nicht oft die schatten erst sichtbar, wenn sie zu wachsen beginnen?

sehr geehrte frau .......
haben wir in den zürcher galerien eine gleichwertigkeit zwischen frauen und männern? ‘die zürcher galerien’ zeigen, dass im juni 2020 in den zürcher galerien 71 künstler und 13 künstlerinnen ausstellen. es widerspiegelt die nichtsichtbarkeit von künstlerinnen auf deutliche weise.
seit freitag liegen kopierte galerienprogramme ‘mit zusatz’ in vielen zürcher galerien und museen, es sind 1000 kopien im umlauf.
ich freue mich, wenn sie den faden aufnehmen und weiterspinnen. nur wenn wir über das ungleichgewicht sprechen, es an realen beispielen bildlich zeigen, wird es uns bewusst und echte veränderungen können initialisiert werden. herzlichen dank!
mit freundlichen grüssen

p.s.: ich stehe ihnen gerne für weitere informationen zur verfügung.

stimmen aus der brache
eine einsiedlerin auf der brache, unsichtbar im schutz einer cabane. sie spricht, flüstert, es summt, autos fahren vorbei. «ich werde kein zuhause mehr haben in diesem leben», «look up», ursula scherrers worte müssen erhascht werden, sind innerhalb 24 stunden aufgenommen, geschichtet, live gesprochen. beunruhigte nachbarn ziehen das stromkabel aus in der nacht und ursula verstummt bis zum morgen. störung, orakel, klanginstallation – ursula scherrers performance macht die brache still und verstörend zugleich.

weekly from december 23rd, 2017 – december 20th, 2018
initiated by ursula scherrer as another kind of protest
after almost a year of the trump presidency I decided we needed to do something in addition to the loud protests.
for an entire year we were standing once a week across from the trump tower entrance on 5th ave in new york city in the midst of the midtown shopping frenzy.
standing peacefully completely still for up to 30 min., facing the golden tower.
sometimes we were a little group, sometimes two or three, at least one was there every week.

weekly from december 23rd, 2017 – december 20th, 2018
initiated by ursula scherrer as another kind of protest
after almost a year of the trump presidency I decided we needed to do something in addition to the loud protests.
for an entire year we were standing once a week across from the trump tower entrance on 5th ave in new york city in the midst of the midtown shopping frenzy.
standing peacefully completely still for up to 30 min., facing the golden tower.
sometimes we were a little group, sometimes two or three, at least one was there every week.

stillstand
2017
a 2-hour performance
Sofia Underground
standstill' is a living sculpture in public space.
there is nothing happening and yet so much.
once standing completely still even the smallest movement will be visible.
if there is no movement, is there time? does time stand still?
the performance has no time and is full of time. it is all about time and it is not. it only exists as time, as duration, at the same time time disappears. it is about the now, each moment as a separate moment in time.
the audience is encouraged to join scherrer for as long as they wish.

50-year-old woman
2017
a 3-hour performance
sofia underground
a living sculpture of a 50-year-old woman.
the woman as an object. or is there more behind it? can she tell a story with just her being here?
society has its own associations with a 50-year-old woman. the time in which one seems young one day and old the next. the time in which one is many.
or.
with 50 one has nothing to hide anymore. one is who one is. no reason to have to defend oneself to others. not everything has to be spoken out. being speaks for itself. speaks for itself for the richness of that which has been lived so far.

a durational performance

un-wrapped is a continuation of wrapped, a performance first presented in 2014 in guangzhou, china.
once completely still the smallest movement becomes a big act, time disappears, there is only now – every unfolding starts within.

i know myself and i don't
2014
organhaus | chongqing | china
during the opening ursula scherrer wrote with coal onto the entire floor of the gallery. starting in the far end, she continuously kept writing – the writing slowly pushed the people out of the space including the artist herself. due to the shape of the space the piece in its entirety was never seen.
the first person that reentered the gallery started to leave a trace. the piece kept mutating with every additional step made, highlighting the impermanence of everything.
the exhibition included a photograph as well as the exhibition text, translated from english into chinese with google translate. the characters were copied by scherrer onto the wall of the space (the artist doesn't know chinese).
i arrive in chongching.
everything is new. unknown. no familiar face. no familiar sight. no familiar sound. no familiar smell.
the floor is taken away from underneath my feet.
who am i in this world?
i desperately try to hang on to my notion of i, the i that i know in my own environment.
but is the i that lives at home the same i that is here right now?
different aspects of myself are surfacing.
i don't feel good in my skin.
my body is my body.
is it really? it seems taller then at home.
life as a comparison.
i walk around with my camera. obsessively taking photographs.
finding something to hold on to.
i photograph my body. exploring my own landscape.
writing.
copying.
back to the beginning of being.
that is how we learn.
cleaning to find clarity.
cleaning to be visible.
cleaning to make space to find myself.
one pushes out the other.
slowly.
with persistence.
things come and go.
only the moment exists.
there is no end.
the end becomes the beginning.
what is was.
the fleeting.

during the opening ursula scherrer wrote with coal onto the entire floor of the gallery. starting in the far end, she continuously kept writing – the writing slowly pushed the people out of the space including the artist herself. due to the shape of the space the piece in its entirety was never seen.
the first person that reentered the gallery started to leave a trace. the piece kept mutating with every additional step made, highlighting the impermanence of everything.
the exhibition included a photograph as well as the exhibition text, translated from english into chinese with google translate. the characters were copied by scherrer onto the wall of the space (the artist doesn't know chinese).
i arrive in chongching.
everything is new. unknown. no familiar face. no familiar sight. no familiar sound. no familiar smell.
the floor is taken away from underneath my feet.
who am i in this world?
i desperately try to hang on to my notion of i, the i that i know in my own environment.
but is the i that lives at home the same i that is here right now?
different aspects of myself are surfacing.
i don't feel good in my skin.
my body is my body.
is it really? it seems taller then at home.
life as a comparison.
i walk around with my camera. obsessively taking photographs.
finding something to hold on to.
i photograph my body. exploring my own landscape.
writing.
copying.
back to the beginning of being.
that is how we learn.
cleaning to find clarity.
cleaning to be visible.
cleaning to make space to find myself.
one pushes out the other.
slowly.
with persistence.
things come and go.
only the moment exists.
there is no end.
the end becomes the beginning.
what is was.
the fleeting.
