Open House & Workshop｜The Invisible Trajectory: Touching Space by Jill Zheng

Workshop name: Touching Space

During the Artist Residency and Open House at Schubertstrasse in Zurich Jill’s creative practice extends from the core conceptual notion of language to the meaning-making processes of sign—the worn objects the dwelling memories the network of relationship she co-built with people and space.

Jill’s poetry involves meaning fluidly residing in a variety of semiotic signs be it language image smell sound and she will give insights into what led to her multimodal approach as well as her processes of creating the works in the sharing section.

‘Language is the ability to “touch” others to relate to things processes emotions individuals and through this to turn them into something different.’ —— Andreas Weber

Experience the space of Schubertstrasse—former residence of Herianto Sulindro Kho Family and now-turned venue of the upcoming exhibition— through languaging. The objects you encounter and the movements of which this house’s design directs you are memories and poetry to be written. Space enfolds the past present and future; your presence will be merged into its memory-scape by the ability to ‘touch’ that language holds. We’ll learn how to produce a concrete poem that emerges from your interaction with the house.
