Letters to the Threshold with Lina Zeller

Stretching thresholds, holding streams is a project initiated by artist Jeanne van Heeswijk and developed with Sophie Mak-Schram and collaborators. A growing constellation of invested people from the surroundings of the Museum are being invited to think in and with the museum's thresholds. Together – as makers, artists, activists, neighbours, and associations – they are working on a project that takes its starting point inside the museum and flows in and out of it, over a period of several months. Therefore, a central aspect of the project is the notion of a «stream».

With a background in dance, Lina Zeller is an artist fascinated by the elements of choreographic making and how its concepts can be expanded, dissolved and reorganised. As a dance practitioner with extensive teaching experience in higher education, Lina develops ideas related to the body, movement and studies dealing with choreographic composition through a transdisciplinary approach. She is currently focusing her practice on investigating the creative processes of other practitioners through choreographic ideas via handwritten letters. (“Could a letter lead to choreography?”, she tought). As well as having fun making choreographic letters, she is also interested in the ways in which knowledge is shared, either in educational and/or artistic environments. ("How do we share knowledge?" is a question that intrigues her). Lina lives in Zürich, just in front of a nice green forest.
