Lose not yourself in a far off time, seize the moment that is thine.

Directed towards the future, Site Visit breaks open and hybridises the exhibition programme of the Kunstverein Freiburg. But what could new rhythms and rituals that challenge our thinking, nourish us, and bring us together look like? What would it be like to become a machine or a turtle? Do we need to cut through the conceptions of a linear time that moves from the past into the future?
During her Site Visit Chus Martínez initiates a conversation about the need for new rituals, the role of fables, different words, and the meeting of many bodies. The music and the evening are designed and performed by Severine Christen, Desiree Nüesch, Yanik Soland, Inka te Haar and Adrian Eiserlo.
Martínez (*1972, Spain) is the Head of the Institute of Art at the Academy of Art and Design in Basel. Previously she worked as the Chief Curator at El Museo del Barrio, New York (2012–2013), as the Head of the Curatorial Department of dOCUMENTA (13) (2012) and as the Director of the Frankfurter Kunstverein (2005–2008).
