The Name of this Band is the Art (Ari Benjamin Meyers)

2016 – Performance

21 days, music instruments, T-shirts, posters, dresses

Description

Presented at Raeber von Stenglin in Zürich, Switzerland on 29.04/04.06.2016

The artist Ari Benjamin Meyers was looking for motivated musicians in Zurich to form a band within a gallery.

Bene Andrist, Weronika Boada Peñafiel, LS Grave and I were The Art for 21 days and had to put on white dresses during the rehearsals of six hours as a symbol of the exhibition.

The artist gave us ten musical suggestions, which should serve us as a motive or idea to reach the goal of a final concert of ten songs.

After this final concert the band broke up as agreed in the contract, which we signed in advance. This is Meyers critique of today’s music industry.
