\"Drucker<\/p>\n

To close off this week I am wondering\u00a0if I am doomed to repeat this question forever: when will I understand contemporary art? Take the ongoing exhibit in Switzerland right now,\u00a0Manifesta 11, <\/em>which\u00a0displays several art works curated by German Christian Jankowski under the title\u00a0What people do for money.<\/em> Mind you, I have only read about it and seen photos in diverse news outlets, so it is a Gedanken experiment of what would move me, and, more pressingly, what I would understand.<\/p>\n

The general idea is nifty: he asked a number of artist, 30 or so I believe, to pair up with a professional of their choice working currently in Z\u00fcrich, and create an artwork out of the collaboration. The works were to be (and are in most cases) displayed in and around the city, at the site of the profession, and also provided with short documentary films. Here are two\u00a0examples, each of which has me stymied. Artist Jennifer Tee, for one, chose the director of the local mortuary. The artistic outcome consists of a floating cinema, anchored on the lake, with built-in hair dryers and changing cabins and lounges, direct access to the water for swimming and a huge screen that shows crematorium ovens\u00a0at work, and people taking the remaining bones, shredding them and filling them into urns. Watch that before or after your swim? Is the Holocaust so long behind us that ovens can be used in a provocative context, regardless of the associations they might stir in people who have not forgotten? (Montage of KZ Ravensbr\u00fcck)\"Passover_Affirmation_Negation<\/p>\n

Mike Bouchet chose a worker from the local sewage treatment plant and presents huge cubes of compressed sewage and feces (of all those using the bathroom on 3\/24\/2016 in Zurich) in geometric arrangements in a white hall. They had to install an industrial exhaust\u00a0vent to protect visitors from the maximalist stench\u00a0of this minimalist art. A modern Rumpelstiltskin turning not straw but you know what\u00a0into gold, if the Swiss Gold Coast millionaires invest in this art?<\/p>\n
