Les Urbaines

Imagine a biennial or other kind of art festival featuring just a single work. Unthinkable? Curator and critic Julia Moritz flexes your thinking muscles in her «Pick a Piece» series of experimental reviews by attempting to capture a large-scale group exhibition through the lens of only one of its artworks – not necessarily the ‹best› one, mind you, but the work best suited for pointing towards the overall aim of the overarching context. For this third review, the project that structurally and repeatedly overwhelms viewers (in all the best ways) and that Moritz seeks to unpack through subjective selectivity is this year’s edition of Les Urbaines, the annual performance art festival in Lausanne.
