\nYes it\u2019s in Zurich, yes you\u2019ll be living off sandwiches for a week and BYOB\u2019ing at those parties. The European wandering Biennale has made Switzerland\u2019s largest city its home for the 11th<\/sup> edition. Curator Christian Jankowski, a well-known face on the Berlin art circuit, has united artists with sewage workers, psychologists, dog stylists and float centres among others under the banner of \u201cWhat People Do For Money: Some Joint Ventures\u201d. Each artist chose a host with whom to collaborate on a work, and the results can be seen at fire stations, hotels, the ETH university and even a Muay Thai boxing arena in addition to the central location at the L\u00f6wenbr\u00e4u-Areal.
\nWhile some collaborations are stronger than others, the exhibition gives insight into a plethora of working practices while questioning art\u2019s status as an autonomous endeavor. Here were the five most memorable efforts.
\n <\/p>\n

\"image1. Most Swiss<\/h3>\n

American artist Jon Kessler collaborated with master watchmaker Adriano Toninelli to create a large-scale clockwork apparently powered by a tiny\u00a0tourbillon. The piece is allegedly a metaphor for \u201ccuckoo\u201d systems of power. However, given its location in luxury watchmaker Les Ambassadeurs with the addition of a real Swiss watchmaker at work on the premises and sponsorship by Panerai it reaffirms rather than satirises.

2. Most likely to chemically castrate you while expanding your concept of love<\/h3>\n

The Autonomous Systems Lab at Zurich\u2019s university of technology (ETH) hosts all sorts of far out science: their Artificial Intelligence and Drone programmes are world leaders. Marguerite Humeau has collaborated with Mathias B\u00fcrki, a PhD candidate in autonomous decision-making processes (read: self-driving cars) to create two creatures based on the first mammals. They spray chemicals at each other while going through a mating dance and emitting mournful wails. Humeau has given the whole thing a wry twist: after a while, they are covered in a fog of chemical castration hormones, starting the cycle anew.

3. Most Jesus-like<\/h3>\n

In his first return to art-making since he \u201cretired\u201d in 2011, Italian artist and court-jester Maurizio Cattelan decided on the walking-on-water Jesus metaphor as the most appropriate for his endeavor. Partnering with the Swiss Paralympian champion Edith Wolf-Hunkeler, he created a float which allows her to ride her wheelchair across the surface of Lake Zurich. When Sleek saw the performance, the technician fell in the lake; perhaps a Cattelanian sacrifice to art.

4. Most likely to get you arrested<\/h3>\n

Zurich\u2019s cantonal police headquarters are the setting for Marco Schmitt\u2019s film \u201cXterminating Badges\u201d. Set in the Criminal Museum adjacent to the Swiss unit for cyber-crime, the film takes Luis Bu\u00f1uel\u2019s \u201cEl Angel Exterminador\u201d as its starting point. Amateur actors drawn from Zurich\u2019s finest are trapped at a claustrophobic dinner party, led by a mysterious MC.

5. Smelliest<\/h3>\n

American sculptor Mike Bouchet collaborated with the Werdh\u00f6lzli Sewage Works to extract the city\u2019s all human waste on 24 March 2016. 80,000kg of sewage were compressed into large-scale blocks and installed in a room in the L\u00f6wenbr\u00e4u-Areal. Art as immersive experience, indeed!
