Lee Scratch Perry

The exhibition focuses on Lee Scratch Perry‘s artistic work in Switzerland since the 1990s, including studio walls from the Blue Ark Studio, sculptural assemblages, paintings, decorated equipment and edited material from his extensive video archive. Works and video pieces, some secured and restored for the first time for the exhibition, provide a profound insight into Lee Scratch Perry’s cosmos.

They bring his unique character and the shaping of his environment to life, highlighting the complex relationships and influences between music, spirituality and art. The public will be able to enter a time capsule in the Cabaret Voltaire, which allows access to the thirty-year creative phase in Switzerland for the first time. The exhibition also includes works that have emerged from collaborations and make the archive comprehensible as a living network.
