Konschthal Groovy Thursdays

Date(s)

Once again this summer, the Konschthal is putting artists in the spotlight with four Groovy Thursdays evenings. Join us on four Thursdays to enjoy art, music, and a festive atmosphere.

Each of these Thursdays will be dedicated to one of the exhibiting artists – Julien Hübsch, Jeremy Palluce, Claudia Passeri, and Letizia Romanini – with a diverse cultural program specially designed around their artistic universe and the works they are presenting.

On the agenda: guided tours with multiple perspectives, performances, music, multidisciplinary workshops – all in a relaxed and summery vibe. It's the perfect opportunity to (re)discover the exhibitions by night, between 6pm and 10pm.

Program

6pm - 9pm: Participative Happening

Activation of the work sometimes in the fall with Florian Aubert (Operarius)

The posters composing the artwork sometimes in the fall, freely available in the exhibition, are designed for this Groovy Thursday to be activated by the public during a collaborative happening. Together with Florian Aubert (Operarius), participants are invited to paste these posters on a temporary construction fence installed in front of Konschthal.

This moment of collective creation is also an opportunity for everyone to freely compose with images, words, and shapes — like urban collage or wildposting. Each person can thus assemble their own visual composition, inspired by the DIY aesthetic of underground concerts, in a gesture both spontaneous, poetic, and assertive. An ephemeral space of expression, open to all.

8:00pm - 8:30pm: performance by Sheebaba.

The exhibition desirelines/archive/loops by Julien Hübsch is activated by a sound performance of the duo Sheebaba, formed by Nina Bodry and Julien Hübsch.

Sheebaba can be many things — not locked into a specific genre nor limited to music.

For their special performance at Konschthal on July 31, the duo explores the exhibition space through various forms, testing the limits of control and pushing the boundaries of sound, noise, rhythm, and words.

Sheebaba is art-wave, post-punk, industrial, queer, performative, conceptual, mechanical, goth, noise, poetry, language, a duo against hate.

6pm - 10pm: Julien Hübsch Playlist

On the occasion of his exhibition at Konschthal, Julien Hübsch offers a playlist specially curated for the evening.

Let yourself be carried by the artist’s sonic universe and experience a musical immersion in resonance with his work.

This playlist is created in collaboration with Radio 100,.
