forumclaque Baden: "The artists will perform actions at fixed times in very specific places and in a regular rhythm, which may originate from everyday life or be removed from it. The recognizability will not come from the announcement of the artist and his work, but from the fact that the activities are very easy to understand, but the place or time of action does not correspond to general habits." Taking a glass of water from Biel to Baden (train) and drinking it there in the Badgasse (pedestrian zone), returning with the empty glass. Just that, nothing else. A 5-day ritual.

This "Water. Drink." (19.05.1999) stands as event 103 in the catalog of 144 published or public events in a conceptual context with the 12 months performance 12.09.1998-11.09.1999 (see separate project "12 months performance / CH loves art" on this platform).
