The two events at Kunsthof on 19 and 20 July, Kunsthof Casino and Kunsthof Playschool, are a double homage to Michel Foucault and Jorge Luis Borges. To Michel Foucault’s The Birth of Biopolitics: Lectures at the College de France (1978-79) on the liberal art of government and modern governmental technology in which Foucault focuses on two forms of neo-liberalism: German post-War liberalism and the liberalism of the Chicago School. And to Jorge Luis Borges’ short story The Lottery in Babylon (1941), in which with the power of fictional ambiguity he tells the story of the Game of chance as the Game of life with its one bio-natural law determining the cosmos.
Fourth event of Opportunities for Outdoor Play? Playgrounds – New Spaces of Liberty (The Question of Form). A transdisciplinary collective research and production project curated by Dimitrina Sevova at Kunsthof Zürich in cooperation with Prof. Elke Bippus, Franziska Koch and the Bachelor Medien & Kunst, Vertiefung Bildende Kunst of the Zurich University of the Arts.
