Artist Talk
Friday 13 July 7-9pm
Hydra, Footscray Arts
FAVSC is honoured to host the artist talk of
Schimpfluch Gruppe (Dave Philips and Rudolf Eb.Er)
on the eve of their tour of Australia and New
Zealand. An uncompromising experimental
performance group that had its genesis in
Switzerland in the mid-eighties, Schimpfluch
Gruppe are exponents of "psycho-physical tests and
trainings", a methodology of extreme duration and
extreme physicality in performance. Pushing the
body to its limits in a live context, Dave and
Rudolf will present video footage rarely seen
outside of Europe. This is a unique opportunity to
gain insights into the origins, motivation and
desires of Switzerland's influential Schimpfluch
Gruppe.
