Slow Teleport

Artist(s)
Alex Schweder, Ward Shelley

The many devices at play in Slow Teleport (23.6 - 29.9.2019) are a direct response to its location in the labyrinth of the Parc Central, in Kirchberg. The performance showcases two New York artists, Alex Schweder (b. 1970), Ward Shelley (b. 1950), and European team members Matthew Brown and Clemens Klein. They will all live and work on an improvised portable structure above ground for ten days without leaving, talking to people who come to see them about the meaning of their work. 

The premise of this piece is a crossing of the maze – not by walking through it, but by going over it without touching the ground. To do this they build bridges that link colourful numbered markers located above the hedges, high enough to be seen from the outside. These are also supply caches which map a route across the maze. Organised by Casino Luxembourg & Fonds Kirchberg.
