Lisa Schiess – Money Laundering
22 May–20 June, opening: 21 May, 6 p.m.
Zweierstrasse 177
8003 Zürich
In her observations of everyday life, Lisa Schiess’s conceptual work engages with the unfinished and the ever-changing. Schiess, who lives in the immediate vicinity, often wanders past the square and the office window on her walks through the neighborhood. In a performative work, Schiess will wash prints of the historic 50-franc note in the fountain and then hang them in the window to dry for the duration of the exhibition. The illustrations on the 1990s banknote include Saint-Exupéry’s children’s book character The Little Prince—a tongue-in-cheek reference to the children’s author’s critique of capitalism and to today’s plans by Silicon Valley billionaires to escape the world.
As part of the Out of Office series, organized by Burkhard Meltzer and Tabea Guhl.
