Izidora I LETHE<\/strong>\u2019s conceptual practice spans choreography, printmaking, sculpture, video and drawing. LETHE seeks gaps in history and situates the body as site of production and repository of knowledge. It is so that LETHE\u2019s works seek to resist one-dimensional perceptions of time and reality. They often intervene site-specifically, in order to widen the notion of fixed structures – such as architecture. Also in their newest works specially produced for the Kl\u00f6ntal Triennale, LETHE\u2019s interest goes toward gestures of power exertion and its subtle circumventions in the form of hidden or unannounced solidarities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the exhibition, LETHE invites former textile workers from Glarus to leave their traces in a work titled GLOW<\/em> (2024): The workers deposit blue pigment on the facade of the building guided by an \u201cinner choreography\u201d which echoes the rhythm of their formerly executed work still inscribed in their bodies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In \u00abPUNCH\u00bb (2024), LETHE created 109 mono-prints. The work refers to the on-site found punchcards for work-time-measurement that still remained on the site of factory. Each risograph quotes the original imprint \u00abWHO STAMPS THE CARD OF ANOTHER, CAN BE PUNISHED WITH DISCHARGE\u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The mono-prints are created by shooting a hole per print in collaboration with the janitor that has been employed since 1970ies in the Legler Areal – and so remains the last remaining employee of that factory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LETHE shot through each of the 109 risography prints. Every shot opens up to imagine all the quiet and unseen acts of solidarity between workers: to all the punches that might have been taken for anothers\u2019 time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A print can be purchased for the duration of the exhibition. Please send an email to izidoralethe@gmail.com<\/a>. Each print costs CHF 109.- and will grant a chosen other one hour of rest.

Lastly, FLASH <\/em>(2024) a mono print work in eleven parts, is dispersed across the area of the exhibition. Varied rose motifs that have been designed, printed and exported in \u2018other\u2019 cultural contexts in the thousands in Glarus for centuries, are now depicted on tattoo transfer foil, barely visible. One of the most commonly tattooed symbols, the rose mirrors how arbitrarily value is assigned to cultural symbols: In one locality it reads as elegant while in another it is degraded as kitschy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout the exhibition site, LETHE leaves traces of various (lived, produced, broken) rhythms. The works raise a transformative potential that affect the place and become palpable for visitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Izidora I LETHE (1987*, lives in Z\u00fcrich) holds an MFA from the San Francisco Art Institute and a BFA from ZHdK in Z\u00fcrich. Their most recent exhibitions include Kunsthaus Z\u00fcrich (2024), Edition VFO\/Kunsthalle Zurich (2023), Werkschau des Kantons Z\u00fcrich (2022), the Contemporary Jewish Museum San Francisco (2019\/20), the Couronne\/Krone in Biel (2022).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Izidora I LETHE<\/strong>\u2019s konzeptuelle Praxis umfasst Choreographie, Skulptur, Druck, Video und Zeichnung. LETHE sucht nach L\u00fccken der Geschichtsschreibung und situiert den K\u00f6rper als Ort und Archiv des Wissens. So kreisen die Arbeiten um den Widerstand gegen eine eindimensionale Wahrnehmung von Zeit und Realit\u00e4t. Sie intervenieren ortsspezifisch, um mit Durchl\u00e4ssigkeit, Verborgenem und Absentem die Grenzen von festen Strukturen wie etwa Architektur auszuweiten und aufzul\u00f6sen. LETHE interessiert sich auch in den neuen Arbeiten, die eigens f\u00fcr die Kl\u00f6ntal Triennale entwickelt wurden, f\u00fcr Gesten der Machtaus\u00fcbung und deren subtile Umgehung, etwa in Form von verborgenen Solidarit\u00e4ten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Auf dem Legler Areal l\u00e4dt LETHE ehemalige Glarner Textilarbeiter:innen ein, ihre Spuren in Form von \u00abGLOW\u00bb (2024) zu hinterlassen: Im Rhythmus der damals ausgef\u00fchrten Arbeit halten sie diese noch immer eingeschriebenen Arbeitsabl\u00e4ufe als \u201cinnere Choreographie\u201d an der Fassade fest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mit \u00abPUNCH\u00bb (2024) hat LETHE 109 Risographien geschaffen. Das Werk bezieht sich auf die vor Ort gefundenen Lochkarten zur Arbeitszeiterfassung, die noch immer auf dem Gel\u00e4nde der Fabrik verblieben sind. Jede Risographie zitiert den urspr\u00fcnglichen Aufdruck \u00abWER F\u00dcR EINEN ANDEREN STEMPELT, KANN MIT ENTLASSUNG BESTRAFT WERDEN\u00bb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Die Monodrucke entstanden durch das Einschiessen eines Lochs pro Karte, in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Hausmeister, der seit den 1970er Jahren auf dem Legler Areal besch\u00e4ftigt ist und somit der letzte verbleibende Mitarbeiter dieser Fabrik ist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LETHE schoss durch jeden der 109 Risographien hindurch. Durch jeden einzelnen Schuss wird die Frage nach stillen und ungesehenen Solidarit\u00e4ten zwischen Arbeitenden aufgeworfen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Die Drucke k\u00f6nnen w\u00e4hrend der Dauer der Ausstellung erworben werden \u2013 per E-Mail an izidoralethe@gmail.com<\/a>. Jeder Druck kostet 109 CHF und schenkt einer ausgew\u00e4hlten Person eine Stunde Ruhe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

So hinterl\u00e4sst LETHE an verschiedenen Orten auf dem Areal Spuren verschiedener Rhythmen. Die Arbeiten werfen transformatorisches Potenzial auf, das dabei sowohl auf den Ort wirkt, als auch f\u00fcr das Publikum sp\u00fcrbar wird.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Zudem verteilt LETHE die mehrteilige Arbeit \u00abFLASH\u00bb (2024) \u00fcber das ganze Areal hinweg. Im Glarnerland zwischen dem 18. und 20. Jahrhundert entworfene Rosenmotive, welche tausendfach gedruckt und in andere kulturelle Kontexte, exportiert wurden, werden auf einer kaum sichtbaren Tattoo-Transferfolie abgetragen. Als eines der meist t\u00e4towierten Symbole widerspiegelt dabei das Motiv der Rose die Willk\u00fcr der Wertung kultureller Symbole: An einer Lokalit\u00e4t als elegant und an der anderen als kitschig.
