Patrick Scheid “Zara Notes”
Michael Mut Gallery
This event has ended.
Performance-based artist Patrick Scheid will begin Zara Notes; a month-long experiment in audience empowerment using Nietzsche’s seminal text, Thus Spake Zarathustra.
Tucked away in a corner gallery on Avenue C, people can find the 19th century German philosopher where they never expected. They will enter to find a man, claiming to be Nietzsche’s Zarathustra and a space filled with stacks of books, lumber, tools, wax, ink, pages of colorfully annotated text: the various oddsn’ends seemingly accumulated from years of restless travel. It’s up to the Zara man and audience members together to select materials and construct as they see fit. It’s a messy, raucous, joyful collaboration unlike any other, celebrating human interaction.
Zara Notes is a hyper-immersive exploration of neighborliness, dancing, herd-thought, hammer-wits, and großen Sehnsucht that may just result in the death knell of your own morality and the resurrection of your own agency! Admission is FREE so that one can guiltlessly return multiple times to enjoy a different experience each time. The public is invited to come when they can and stay as long as they like.
