Performing Change

Performing Change, a collection of interviews by artist Mathilde ter Heijne, explores the idea of open-ended, collaborative art processes and their transformative potential beyond the confines of art. Designed as an artist’s book and published in conjunction with her exhibition at the Museum fur Freie Kunst in Freiburg (November 8, 2014-February 22, 2015), the book shows handwritten revisions, annotations, and drawings from contributors including voodoo priest Togbe Hounon-Hounougbo Bahounsou and priestess Mamissi DaPovi, women from the Kartal Kadin UErunleri Pazari (Women’s Products Market) in Istanbul, ayahuasca shaman and biologist Ulrich Meyerratken, ceremonial magic anthropologist Susan Greenwood and artists, curators and critics Sabeth Buchmann, Anselm Franke, Elke Bippus, Amy Patton, Mark Kremer, Janne Schafer, and Kristine Agergaard, with a preface interview by Museum fur Freie Kunst curators Christine Litz and Sophia Trollmann.
