Performance " Art Pilgrimage 3 "
On the way to the art of encounter
In 2017, Marinka Limat walked through Europe for six months. Her third "art pilgrimage" took her from Kassel to Athens. Her motivation was to explore the moment of in-between and to embrace the unpredictable.
After her first two experiences (Fribourg - Berlin, 2013 / Murten - Venice, 2015), Marinka Limat transferred pilgrimage, a format known in various religions, into the art context for the last time. She concluded the trilogy with a journey connecting the two venues of Documenta 14: Kassel (start) and Athens. Marinka Limat traveled through Eastern Europe and the Balkans in 163 days. In doing so, she explored the question of the nature of art: is it a question of life or rather a question of survival? This echoed the leitmotif of the Documenta ("Learning from Athens"), whose main purpose was to learn from the South, with a view to the highly topical phenomenon of migration in 2017. Marinka Limat's experience was realized in the form of stops with artists, artisans, gallery owners, curators, musicians, but also with locals from outside the art system. The physical effort was intense, but the route taken allowed for unique confrontations in a setting where for a moment there was absolute trust between the host and the traveler. Her experiences on the road can be found in the form of anecdotes in the bilingual artist's book "Funken. On foot to art" ("L'étincelle. Vers l'art à pied").
