Nils Amadeus Lange (1989) works as an artist, performer and lecturer in Zurich. After
studying theater at the Bern University of the Arts he expanded his practice to various
media, keeping a focus on dance and performance, developing numerous international
projects. At the center of his practice is the body, which functions as a means of
deconstructing social conventions and gender stereotypes.
He shall perform on this special occasion.
With a shakespearean voice:
“At the top of the tower, on this blue hour.
One has the feeling of being protected from the weather.
I shall therefore join the long tradition
Of artists dealing with the weather :
Oh beauty and dangers
Oh powerlessness in the face of nature
Oh loneliness of the figure
(which we know from Casper David Friedrich)
Nature and the “I” stand next to each other, but rarely together.
Rejoice the image, the chaos of the weather
So that nature finally takes back what belongs to her.
Though I shall imitate the weather
To trigger chaos so you forget and learn
From the beauty of our Nature.”

In the winter of 2008, we took a deep breath and went for it: quit our day jobs and transformed our vision into reality. Just like the Beatles, our business grew up in hamburg’s St. Pauli, a bohemian and vibrant area then and now. In our kitchen there, we juiced limes, brewed tea, crushed sugar, invited friends over and clinked glasses. When all those glasses were drained, and much fun had in the process, they were ready- Lemonade & Charitea

We make iced tea as it should be - from best ingredients, organic & Fairtrade. Our whole-leaf tea comes from cooperatives & plantations around the world. The green and black teas are from Sri Lankan mountains; our rooibos grows under the hot South African sun. We pay higher prices for the ingredients and thereby support fair, dignified farming. We go beyond Fairtrade: every bottle sold gives an additional 5 cents to the Lemonade and Charitea Foundation. By doing this, we’ve already collected more than 6 million euros for social projects in the growing regions.

Schlouk is a selection of lively and healthy wines made by 5 friends who fell in the nature’s pot. As if it were obvious, the sensations we experienced were a real return to our roots, to be shared with a free spirit. « SCHLOUK » is a tribute to hedonism, to conviviality, to any dreamer spirit in search of an unconventional pleasure, with a good offbeat side; finally some fun in our glasses!

The Fri Art story began in 1979 with the founding of a non-profit organisation by artist and curator Michel Ritter and a group of contemporary artists.
Two years later, the event Fri Art 81 made the walls of fribourg’s old diocesan seminary tremble and testified to the development of the contemporary art scene in this Zähringer city. Under the leadership of Michel Ritter, Fri Art created a multidisciplinary exhibition as part of the celebrations of the 500th anniversary of Fribourg’s entry into the Confederation. Through exhibitions and performances Fri Art 81 brought together about sixty Swiss and international artists including Roman Signer, Anna Winteler and Container TV. The event gained international renown and was followed up with Fri Art made in Switzerland, an exhibition organized on five different sites in New York and featuring more than 40 Swiss artists.
