Live performance of the Gerit Rietfeld ZIG-ZAG chair by Robert Wettstein.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">DADA trifft De Stijl: Eine k\u00fcnstlerische Spurensuche zwischen Z\u00fcrich und Leiden\nDer Z\u00fcrcher Performer Robert Wettstein widmet sich in seiner Arbeit den \u00fcberraschenden Parallelen zwischen der Z\u00fcrcher DADA-Bewegung und der niederl\u00e4ndischen De\u2011Stijl\u2011Gruppe. Ausgangspunkt seiner Performance ist ein ikonisches M\u00f6belst\u00fcck: der Zig\u2011Zag\u2011Stuhl, den der Designer Gerrit Thomas Rietveld 1932 entwarf. Rietveld war seit 1919 Mitglied der von Theo van Doesburg und Piet Mondrian gegr\u00fcndeten De\u2011Stijl\u2011Bewegung, die mit radikaler Reduktion, klaren Linien und einer universellen Formensprache die Moderne entscheidend pr\u00e4gte.\nWettstein verbindet dieses gestalterische Erbe mit der anarchischen Energie des Z\u00fcrcher DADA. Die historischen Wurzeln f\u00fchren zur\u00fcck ins Jahr 1916, als der Theatermacher Hugo Ball den Wirt Jan Ephraim bat, ihm das Hinterzimmer dessen Meierei \u2013 das sogenannte \u201eHoll\u00e4nderst\u00fcbli\u201c \u2013 zu \u00fcberlassen. Ball wollte dort ein internationales Cabaret schaffen: einen offenen Ort f\u00fcr k\u00fcnstlerische Experimente, geistigen Austausch und radikale Ausdrucksformen. Aus dieser Vision entstand das legend\u00e4re Cabaret Voltaire, die Geburtsst\u00e4tte des DADA.\nDie Performance schl\u00e4gt nun eine Br\u00fccke zwischen diesen beiden avantgardistischen Bewegungen. W\u00e4hrend DADA in Z\u00fcrich mit Lautgedichten, Collagen und performativer Provokation gegen die kulturellen Konventionen rebellierte, suchte De Stijl in Leiden nach einer universellen, harmonischen Ordnung der Formen. \nWettstein macht sichtbar, wie sich diese scheinbaren Gegens\u00e4tze ber\u00fchren, indem er die Prinzipien des Marionettenspiels nutzt, um die Funktionsweise des Zig\u2011Zag\u2011Stuhls zu entfalten und zugleich eine subtile Referenz zu Sophie Taeuber\u2011Arps K\u00f6nig Hirsch aufscheinen zu lassen.\nSo entsteht ein Dialog zwischen zwei historischen Laboratorien der Moderne \u2013 dem Z\u00fcrcher \u201eHoll\u00e4nderst\u00fcbli\u201c und den Ateliers der De\u2011Stijl\u2011K\u00fcnstler \u2013, der bis heute nachhallt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"472\" data-id=\"4204\" src=\"https:\/\/wettstein.ws\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_0865-1024x472.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4204\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wettstein.ws\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_0865-1024x472.png 1024w, https:\/\/wettstein.ws\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_0865-660x304.png 660w, https:\/\/wettstein.ws\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_0865-150x69.png 150w, https:\/\/wettstein.ws\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_0865-768x354.png 768w, https:\/\/wettstein.ws\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_0865-1536x709.png 1536w, https:\/\/wettstein.ws\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_0865-2048x945.png 2048w, https:\/\/wettstein.ws\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_0865-18x8.png 18w, https:\/\/wettstein.ws\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_0865-570x263.png 570w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"472\" data-id=\"4207\" src=\"https:\/\/wettstein.ws\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_0856-1024x472.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4207\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wettstein.ws\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_0856-1024x472.png 1024w, https:\/\/wettstein.ws\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_0856-660x304.png 660w, https:\/\/wettstein.ws\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_0856-150x69.png 150w, https:\/\/wettstein.ws\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_0856-768x354.png 768w, https:\/\/wettstein.ws\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_0856-1536x709.png 1536w, https:\/\/wettstein.ws\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_0856-2048x945.png 2048w, https:\/\/wettstein.ws\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_0856-18x8.png 18w, https:\/\/wettstein.ws\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_0856-570x263.png 570w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"472\" data-id=\"4208\" src=\"https:\/\/wettstein.ws\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_0858-1024x472.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4208\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wettstein.ws\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_0858-1024x472.png 1024w, https:\/\/wettstein.ws\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_0858-660x304.png 660w, https:\/\/wettstein.ws\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_0858-150x69.png 150w, https:\/\/wettstein.ws\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_0858-768x354.png 768w, https:\/\/wettstein.ws\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_0858-1536x709.png 1536w, https:\/\/wettstein.ws\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_0858-2048x945.png 2048w, https:\/\/wettstein.ws\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_0858-18x8.png 18w, https:\/\/wettstein.ws\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_0858-570x263.png 570w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Location: Goldrausch Art Salon, Haus Untere Z\u00e4une 3, 8001 Z\u00fcrich.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> <br>Opening reception<br>February 5, 7\u201310 p.m. \u2013 cabaret\/performances starting at 8 p.m. &gt; Roberts performance.<br>February 6, 7\u201310 p.m. \u2013 cabaret\/performances starting at 8 p.m.<br>Exhibition until February 25, 2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goldrausch.art\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.goldrausch.art\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Goldrausch Art Salon<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video height=\"1920\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 1080 \/ 1920;\" width=\"1080\" controls loop src=\"https:\/\/wettstein.ws\/wp-content\/uploads\/ZigZag-Stuhl-Clips24-02-16_09-06.mov\"><\/video><\/figure>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On the occasion of the 110th anniversary of Dada.
