Zurich-based mixed media artist TIKA transforms STREET ART PASSAGE VIENNA at the MuseumsQuartier into a Noah’s Ark: In collaboration with the Viennese label Amateur and the Swiss label Aim, she is developing a fashion collection made up of creations that each represent one animal couple.

Polar bears, lobsters, tigers, elephants, parrots, jellyfish, peacocks, racoons, bats, and baboons will cavort in the passage. The catwalk becomes a rescue ship. In 2012, the Mayan calendar is coming to an end, and many are predicting the end of the world, but not for those who wear ANIMALISTIKA.

In advance of the event, interventions in public space will make people aware of the collection. TIKA will also be incorporating an image on the elevator tower in the passage. TIKA is a mixed-media artist and muralist. She lives and works in Zurich, Berlin, and Rio de Janeiro. In July she will be an Artist-in- Residence at quartier21/MQ.
