Heather Kapplow

Luxury Study: Silver Edition
Performative event: Friday February 22, 2019, 7pm at DIENSTGEBÄUDE

We all need luxuries, comforts—things or experiences that we find especially elegant or perfectly constructed in our lives—that we value more than other things regardless of what they cost.

In an effort to understand the emotional connections we have with the things we treasure most, you are invited to bring a treasured object or souvenir to Dienstgebaeude on February 22 at (7pm) to discuss it with the artist, and have it photographed. The first 24 items will be photographed in black and white Polaroid, containing silver.

Heather Kapplow, a US-based conceptual artist who has been in residence at Index for January-February 2019, studying what luxury is, invites you to come and participate in her research in person before she leaves at the end of February.

Geh den Luxus / A Luxurious Walk
Monday, February 25 2019, 6pm at Paradeplatz

«Wie haftet Luxus den Dingen an? Wie geht luxuriös gehen?» Solche und andere Fragen zu Luxus stellte sich die amerikanische Konzeptkünstlerin Heather Kapplow während ihres zweimonatigen Atelieraufenthalts in Zürich. lerjentours und Kapplow sind ins Gespräch gekommen. Gemeinsam laden sie nun zu einem Walk entlang von Zürichs bekanntester Luxus-Meile.

“The walking stick serves the purpose of an advertisement that the bearer’s hands are employed otherwise than in useful effort, and it therefore has utility as an evidence of leisure.” —Thorstein Veblen

Please join Heather Kapplow and Marie-Anne Lerjen for a luxurious walk along the Bahnhofstrasse, on February 25, where, with the quote above in mind, we will contemplate the experience of luxury while sauntering along this most luxurious commercial district. We will gather at Paradeplatz at 6pm.

Luxury Study: Golden Edition
Wednesday February 27, 2019. 8pm at Kulturfolger !

In an effort to understand the emotional connections we have with the things we treasure most, you are invited to bring a treasured object or souvenir to Kulturfolger on February 27 at 8pm to discuss it with the artist, and have it photographed against a glamorous golden wall.

Gold is the standard. It's the reflection of the sun's light and warmth; an organic comfort that no one can deny without contortion; not to mention its connection to alchemy...
