JocJonJosch is formed by Jocelyn Marchington, Jonathan Brantschen and Joschi Herczeg. The three artists seek to increase their understanding of human identity and existence by addressing the dynamics of their own collective.
Ooo - JocJonJosch reduced to its vowels - is the first major exhibition of the collective in Valais since obtaining the Manor Prize in 2013. In the last three years, JocJonJosch have been able to develop the Dig project, a series of various excavation performances in the Valais area. One of them, Raised Totems , took place in 2016 in Martigny as part of the Ganioz Project Space (GPS).
The exhibition will present new works (photographs, sculptures, drawings, videos and sound installation) as well as a performance on the night of the opening, the traces of which will form a work.
A publication will be published as an extension of the exhibition.
From 17 February to 21 May 2017
Footfall will be performed by a mix of people who took part in the three London performance and local recruits.
I took part in the first performance on 26 November but, due other commitments, have not been able to join the other two performances and will not be travelling to Switzerland for the new gallery opening.
