XIAO KE x ZI HAN: WE APOLOGIZE TO INFORM YOU

SUN 31.5.| 18:00 | GALERIE | PERFORMANCE | We apologize to inform you. This pseudo-English sentence may remind some of those who have already travelled in China of traumatic situations. This is a frequent announcement at Chinese airports when flights are yet again cancelled without replacement.

The unspoken reason for this procedure is almost always the lower priority assigned to civilian planes in comparison to military flights whose manoeuvres make up 80 per cent of the movements within Chinese airspace.
Xiao Ke from Shanghai works as a performance artist with the musician and video artist Zhou Zi Han on the border of what is tol-
erated in Shanghai. Her strongly physical performance “We Apologize To Inform You” utilises the entire space of the Galerie, thereby juxtaposing European Baroque frescoes depicting mythical subjects with a counter-world of Chinese graphic characters. “We Apologize To Inform You” is focused on the skewed and disfiguring images communicated to us via propaganda, media and manipulated opinions and on the existential struggle to see through a linguistic world serving lies and ideologically warped truth.
As a part of the performance Xiao Ke und Zi Han will spend six hours before their body performance asleep in the insonified installation room: entry to this part of the event (from 12:00) is through the garden and is free for garden visitors.
