The shop window occupies its own genre in photography, from Eugène Atget to Zoe Leonard. In Williams’s new theater production Stage Play, the shop window and the storefront are the primary characters. Set in the streets of postwar Düsseldorf, this tense drama deals with the accumulation of contingent material suggestive of the quiet persistence of war.
Stage Play, Williams’s first theater production, is created in dialogue with the artist’s concurrent exhibition at gta exhibitions, ETH Zurich (on view through June 12, 2017).
The Visiting Artist Program is supported by Swiss Re.

*Christopher Williams, Best.Nr.: 68011, Best.Nr.: 28856, Best.Nr.: 28856 Devoid of any creative airs and graces, well proportioned and of recognisable quality. The basic material – cold forged aluminum with high material thickness –is not only one of the best heat conductors, but also extremely light and therefore easy to handle. With a constant thickness, the pots’ bases ensure even heat distribution and perfect thermal absorption. Reaching cooking temperature the pan fully stabilizes and adjusts itself perfectly to the stove. The resilient stainless-steel tube shaped handles reduce heat transmission. Low maintenance and ruggedness are increased by the ceramic-enhanced non-stick coating of the internal surfaces. Still, we recommend considerate handling by using proper tools. Not suitable for induction hobs. All lids are interchangeable in equivalent sizes.
