What might a contemporary artistic practice look like that expresses the sensitivities of Roma in Switzerland and in Europe, that unravels their history and sets the record straight on the erroneous assumptions that extend to the present, that examines them thoroughly and with a dash of fluxist humor, and that responds flexibly to actual developments in art and minority politics? Not all of the performances and actions conceived and shown by the Roma Jam Session art Kollektiv (RJSaK) in recent years fulfill each of these points, but RJSaK’s work operates on all of these levels simultaneously. Morphing the Roma Label is a publication documenting a ten-year collaboration between the members of the collective and their accomplices, in this form of assemblage itself has become an art project that reevaluates and reflects on its work, and at the same time wants to be an aesthetic experience in its own right, activating, liquefying and dynamically performative.
