[AFK] away from keyboard* will premiere at the opening of the group exhibition Future Reflections, curated by Tuula Rasmussen at Kunstforum Baloise Park on June 19, during Art Basel 2025.
You are cordially invited to the opening on Thursday, June 19, 2025, from 6 to 9 p.m.
The performance will take place at 7 p.m. and unfold throughout the foyer, lobby, and exhibition room of the Baloise Süd building, located at Aeschengraben 33, Basel.
The piece is presented in dialogue with the works from the Baloise Art Collection by Elise Corpataux, Candida Höfer, Geert Goiris, Saskia Olde Wolbers, Paula Santomé, and Jeff Wall and with invited artists such as Jiajia Zhang, Louisa Gagliardi and Olga Hohmann in collaboration with Courtesy.
[AFK] is part of the research I developed during my residency at Atelier Mondial in Basel, Switzerland (March–May 2025), supported by the Swiss Arts Council, Pro Helvetia South America.
ABOUT THE PERFORMANCE:
Lux inhabits Baloise Park transitional spaces, embodying behaviors of videogame characters as both a conceptual and performative tool to question the boundaries between physical and digital, institutional and personal, public and private frameworks.
Lux’s idle postures are not passive but tactical: she stages waiting as a conscious occupation of time and space, holding a position in anticipation of something that may never occur, while being compelled to move forward, caught in a loop.
Future Reflections is an exhibition curated by Tuula Rasmussen, that invites viewers to become aware of the interplay between present and future and to reflect on their own role in the fabric of time.
