SPACES

Group show at Kunstraum Alexander Bürkle, Freiburg (D)
What happens when an image conquers space? In other words: at what point is a given space transformed into an image? The answers to this question couldn’t be more varied, ranging from images that constitute more of a three-dimensional object than a surface to room installations that oscillate between form and surface.

Judy Millar 300

Be Do Be Do Be Do

Solo show at the Institute of Modern Art, Brisbane QLD (AUS)
“Regardless of her apparent efforts to put expressive painting in scare quotes, Judy Millar’s works continue to engage to court affect. They attest to the incredible resilience and efficacy of painting—a medium that has survived (but been transformed by) its many ‘deaths’. For her show Be Do Be Do Be Do, Millar will create three site-specific painting installations, filling the IMA. She plans to work with local art students to help her complete the giant works in situ.”

Video art from the collection
Video art gained in popularity when the first portable video camera for general consumers came on the marketin 1969. The device became affordable and it conveniently combined recording and play back. In the 1980s, Swiss art academies first started to offer video classes. Thus Pipilotti Rist was among the first artists in Switzerland to graduate with a degree in audio-visual communication. The exhibition includes works by artists such as Fischli/Weiss, Lutz & Guggisberg, Daniela Keiser, and Uriel Orlow.
