Dear Friends of the gallery;
Please find following information on our three upcoming exhibitions:
ARTUR ZMIJEWSKI
The first exhibition in Switzerland of Artur Zmijewski (born 1966, lives in Warsaw) will feature a new film and photographs.
Photographs and films made by this artist deal with experimental, well planned extreme situations. The body - often disabled or oppressed - serves as a metaphor of the internal condition. Art is a separate testing ground, on which the artist can plan and analyse conflict, phobias and evil, which lurk on the margins of the mainstream society. The new film by Zmijewski shows people with cancer in its final phase. This is the period when the pain reaches its maximum intensity. The pain is usually treated with analgesic drugs. Nevertheless pain becomes more intense, when the last dose of the drug slowly ceases to be effective and the next dose has not been given yet. Strong pain-killers act somewhat as narcotics and deform the patients‘ perception. They also change their awareness of their own situation, enabel them to escape the full confrontation with the truth of their circumstances.
Zmijewski has been participating in several exhibitions. Currently his film ‚Singing Lesson‘ is on view at Manifesta 4 in Frankfurt.
ART 33 BASEL
We will show new works by the following artists:
Rita Ackermann, Stefan Altenburger, Francis Al˙s, Willie Doherty, Katrin Freisager, Zilla Leutenegger, Claudia & Julia Müller, Santiago Sierra, Melanie Smith, Costa Vece and Artur Zmijewski.
Our stand telephone number is: +41 79 205 52 86.
ART UNLIMITED
The artist Zilla Leutenegger (born 1968, lives in Zurich) will be showing „Forum Hotel“, 2002, a video installation with a double projection and 4 monitors. The artist says about this video: I built a hotel on the moon. The installation is a camera moving over the surface of the moon. This is the double projection. On the 4 monitors are messages coming from the moon - they have sometimes disturbances because of the transmission. On the monitors I am sitting or standing on the hotel shouting ‚mama‘.
More works by Zilla Leutenegger can be seen at the stand of the gallery and at the exhibition for the Swiss Federal Grant (at Messe Halle 3).
