Alexandra Bachzetsis: A Piece Danced Alone

Event information

Chisenhale Gallery presents 'A Piece Danced Alone', a performance devised and choreographed by Alexandra Bachzetsis. Bachzetsis uses body language as a visual material, deploying repetition and gesture-play as tools in the construction of performed identities. Staged in Chisenhale’s main space, 'A Piece Danced Alone' will be performed for the first time in London and for one night only.

Alexandra Bachzetsis (b. 1974, Zurich) lives and works in Basel, Switzerland. Solo exhibitions include ‘Play’ at Kunsthaus Glarus (2010); and ‘SHOW’, Kunsthalle Basel (2008). She has exhibited as part of ‘Performative Structures. New Existentialism, Part 1’, Alte Fabrik in Rapperswil (2010); and the 5th Berlin Biennial for Contemporary Art (2008). Bachzetsis was nominated for the DESTE Prize (2011) and was recently announced as the winner of the Swiss Art Award (2011).

'A Piece Danced Alone' is presented in collaboration with Glasgow International Festival of Visual Art, 2012.
