VTV Classics (r3): Daniel Richter: Huntergrund / Museum f. Gegenwartskunst Basel (2006)
In 2006, the Museum für Gegenwartskunst Basel presented the first exhibition in Switzerland of the internationally renowned artist Daniel Richter. The show featured a selection of works from the past five years as well as his most recent paintings. “His painting shows a vehemence and ironic assertion that recalls the work of such artists as Albert Oehlen or Martin Kippenberger. In his most recent work, Richter weaves the set pieces of art history, the mass media and pop culture into atmospheric and uncanny worlds of his own making.” (PR M.f.G.). Curator: Philipp Kaiser. VTV's coverage of the event includes Impressions from the opening reception at the Museum of Contemporary Art Basel and the concert on the occasion of the opening with the 3 Normal Beatles, at Erlkönig Restaurant Basel, Basel/Switzerland, June 10, 2006.
Our series r3 highlights the treasures of VernissageTV’s huge archive. R3 is a series of VernissageTV classics, now re-mastered, re-edited and reissued in High Definition.

Liz Magor: You You You. Retrospective at Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst, Zürich
The Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst in Zürich currently presents the first extensive exhibition of Canadian artist Liz Magor's oeuvre in Switzerland. Liz Magor is considered as one of Canada's most important contemporary sculptors. She works in sculpture, installation, public art and photography. The retrospective at Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst focuses on sculptures and installations Liz Magor has created in her studio in Vancouver over the past three decades.
“Her art investigates the culture of production and value and the associated ambivalent relationship humans have with consumer goods. … Composed of found everyday objects, her allegorical tableaus question idealized notions of nature embedded in modern culture and penetrate the psychology of desire and addiction. From an art-historical perspective, Liz Magor’s decades-long engagement with the world of material things and their resonance has led her to stake out a highly idiosyncratic position. Presented casually, without pedestals, her meticulously finished sculptures are defined by a profoundly affecting physicality. In light of the recent “material turn” in the work of younger artists, but also in the humanities and cultural studies, Magor’s art speaks forcefully to contemporary concerns.” (excerpt from the exhibition text).
Liz Magor: You You You at Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst is curated by Heike Munder (Director, Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst) and runs until May 7, 2017.

Collection / Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst / Zürich, Switzerland
The current exhibition at the Migros Museum in Zürich links recent collection acquisitions to older works of the Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst collection. This year it is celebrating its 30th year jubilee with, amongst others, works by Monica Bonvicini, Christoph Büchel, Maurizio Cattelan, Marc Camille Chaimowicz, Dan Flavin, Gilbert & George, Douglas Gordon, Mark Leckey, Bruce Nauman, Cady Noland, Katharina Sieverding, Stephen Willats and Cathy Wilkes. The exhibition is curated by Heike Munder.
The actual concern of the collection concept is to make contact with contemporary art production and direct it at a broad-minded public in a lively and vital environment. Purchases for the collection have arisen, for the most part, from works produced for exhibitions, or at the very least in working together with the artists involved.
At the end of May a comprehensive exhibition catalogue will be published by JRP|Ringier, featuring text contributions by Nicolas Bourriaud, Dan Fox, Raphael Gygax, Tom Holert, Heike Munder, Philip Ursprung, Astrid Wege, Judith Welter, Jan Verwoert and Tirdad Zolghadr. This is to provide, for the first time, a complete inventory of the core form and substance of the collection. Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst, Opening, May 31, 2008.

Stephen Willats: Languages of Dissent / Solo Exhibition at Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst
Stephen Willats’ solo exhibition “Languages of Dissent” at Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst in Zürich, Switzerland, brings together key works from the British artist's practice since the 1960s to the present. The retrospective is curated by Heike Munder (Director, Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst) and spans more than four decades of Willats' career. The show runs until August 18, 2019.
“The work of the British conceptual artist Stephen Willats (b. London, 1943) interrogates structures of community life and social interaction. Exploring the modular architecture of social housing projects, he spotlights forms of individual creative adaptation that defy the uniformity and functionality of the spaces. Such dissent with normative parameters is especially interesting to Willats because it is where individuality reveals itself and selfdetermination is articulated. He finds similar modes of nonconformist expression in London’s experimental underground club scene and in places on the urban periphery where teenagers seek escape from institutional or conformist pressures. His understanding of what art is and does is reflected in a collaborative and interdisciplinary practice that takes inspiration from sciences beyond the realm of art. Since the 1960s, his work has been influenced by cybernetics, the study of reciprocal relations in dynamic systems, which helps him think through autonomous forms of organization and their structures of control and communication. Providing him with both a method and an aesthetic vocabulary, it is fundamental to his redefinition of the social function and agency of art.” (info text, excerpt)

Leiko Ikemura: Toward New Seas / Kunstmuseum Basel
Toward New Seas (Nach Neuen Meeren) at Kunstmuseum Basel is a focused retrospective of the work of the Japanese-Swiss artist Leiko Ikemura. Curated by Anita Haldemann, the exhibition presents drawings, paintings, and sculptures. The exhibition runs until September 1, 2019. This video provides you with an exhibition walkthrough and an interview with the artist.
Leiko Ikemura: Toward New Seas / Kunstmuseum Basel. Exhibition walkthrough and interview, Basel (Switzerland), May 3 & 15, 2019.
Info text:
The Japanese-Swiss artist Leiko Ikemura first caused a stir in Switzerland in the early 1980s with expressive and confrontational compositions that associated her with the Neue Wilde. She later rose to international renown with girlish figures unmoored from reality and cosmic landscapes populated by fabulous chimerical creatures. Japanese audiences celebrate her as an artist who wholeheartedly embraced Western art only to grow aware of her cultural roots and eventually forged a singular synthesis of both cultures.
Presenting drawings, paintings, and sculptures, the exhibition To new seas is a focused retrospective, mounted in consultation with the artist and in cooperation with the National Art Center, Tokyo.
Leiko Ikemura studied literature in Osaka and Spain before switching to painting and enrolling at the Escuela Superior de Bellas Artes in Seville in 1973. She subsequently lived in Zurich for several years; in the 1980s, she moved to Germany, where she still resides. In this first period of her oeuvre, she focuses on drawing, grappling with the challenges of devising an authentic creative idiom. Her art is propelled in part by a searching reflection on her own femininity and the attempt to carve out a place for her life as a woman between her native Japan and her adoptive home in Europe.
A stay in Grisons in 1989 inspired Ikemura to develop a novel visual vocabulary that ultimately led her to a fusion of body and landscape in the “Alpine Indians.” Then followed vaguely archaic hybrid creatures, which the artist increasingly also rendered in sculptures, and, in the 1990s, female figures hovering weightlessly at the horizon between earth and heaven, past and future, vulnerable and untouchable at once. In her most recent works, Ikemura conveys the melancholy yearning for an indivisible union between humankind and nature in oneiric landscapes of the soul. The phenomena of emergent form and metamorphosis gesture back toward the artist’s early oeuvre.
Through an insistent reflection on her life amid an alien culture, on solitude and the assimilation of new languages, Ikemura has staked out a domain of her own that allowed her to devise a personal and authentic synthesis of Japanese and European cultures. The “war goddess” of the early works has yielded to the “Amazon,” who exudes strength as well as composure.

Gen Atem / Miriam Bossard: Meditated Vandalism
Gen Atem is considered a pioneer of the European Urban Art movement. After the New York graffiti era of the 1980s, he studied and practiced Eastern philosophy and calligraphy in a Buddhist monastery, and in 1999 he received the consecration to the Zen priest. Miriam Bossard sees her artistic work in the tradition of classical collage. The balance between graphic impression and abstract poetry characterizes her work. In the 80s and 90s, both lived in New York: Gen Atem performed with his mentor, the artist Rammellzee, underground performances and exhibitions, while Miriam Bossard completed her Fine Arts studies there with a master's diploma. Since 2008 the artist duo has collaborated and realized exhibitions in New York, Zurich, Bregenz, Istanbul and Tokyo.
In this video we attend the opening reception of Gen Atem and Miriam Bossard's exhibition “Meditated Vandalism” at Urban Art exhibition space Artsübli in Basel (Switzerland) on February 10, 2017.

Jamie Isenstein at Art Basel 2011
| During Art Basel 2011 Brooklyn-based artist Jamie Isenstein was performing Rug Woogie IV at the booth of Galerie Meyer Riegger. Jamie Isenstein was seated at a classical harp. But the instrument didn't produce any sound, on the contrary: Jamie Isenstein wasn't plucking the strings, but weaving wool through them, covering their sound. The result of this process is a sculpture, a rug, woven into the harp by the artist. In this conversation with Dr. Bettina Krogemann, Jamie Isenstein talks about this performance / sculpture piece and her work in general.
Jamie Isenstein was born in 1975 in Portland, Oregon. She lives and works in New York City. Her solo exhibition titled Double Feature! Empire of Fire and Rug Woogie IV at Meyer Riegger Karlsruhe is still on show until July 30, 2011.

Hannah Weinberger at Kunsthalle Basel
| For her first solo exhibition at Kunsthalle Basel in Switzerland, the young artist Hannah Weinberger conceived a site-specific sound installation that fills the five ground floor galleries of the Kunsthalle. The work is titled When You Leave, Walk Out Backwards, So I'll Think You're Walking In and consists of eleven ambient sound loops that are played on the eleven channels that the artist has installed in the galleries.
More info:
The visual aspect of the piece is reduced to the loudspeakers, which are placed in the rooms and echo absorbing curtains that are installed alongside the walls. By walking through the different galleries of the Kunsthalle, the visitors to the exhibition are meant to compose their own soundtrack.
Hannah Weinberger was born in 1988 in Filderstadt, Germany. She lives and works in Basel and Zürich, Switzerland. Hannah Weinberger studied Media Arts at the Zürich University of the Arts. She is one of the founding members of the project space Elaine Mgk in the courtyard of Museum für Gegenwartskunst Basel (together with Tenzing Barshee, Nikola Dietrich, and Scott Cameraon Weaver).

Olaf Breuning / Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst, Zürich
The Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst presents a large-scale installation by Olaf Breuning which comprises drawings, sculptures and his new film “Home 2 (2007)”. The exhibition is Olaf Breuning’s largest solo show to date in Switzerland. “Since the late 1990s, this Swiss artist (born 1970 in Schaffhausen, lives and works in New York) has produced quotation-rich works, which refer back to the imaginary visual memory of the West and its pictorial worlds. He has gained recognition through his films, staged photography, and colourful, huge-eyed, infantile sculptures and drawings, which comment on reality in a laconic manner.” (From the press release). Works by Olaf Breuning were most recently to be seen at the exhibition Swiss Video at the Tate Modern in London (2006), and at the Mori Art Museum in Tokyo in the context of all about laughter (2007). Olaf Breuning, Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst, museum for contemporary art, opening, August 24, 2007. The exhibition, curated by Heike Munder, runs through October 21, 2007.

Friendly Video Graffiti @ Museum für Gegenwartskunst Basel
Acting is somewhat like posing and posing is somewhat like an act of performance. Most people perform daily either through their persona, the things they do or wear, in their work or leisure time. We transform ourselves through small gestures and by changing small details around ourselves. Friendly Video Graffiti Project (2009) is not aiming to give an overview on the formal and informal codes that constitute our communication in daily life, but instead to gather artistic ositions for a mutual play on smaller or larger deeds.

Yves Netzhammer at Kunstmuseum Bern
| The exhibition The Refuge for Drawbacks at the Kunstmuseum Bern is Swiss artist Yves Netzhammer's first large-scale solo show in a Swiss fine art museum.
More info and photo gallery:
After several solo exhibitions in the Helmhaus Zürich (2003) and the Kunsthalle Winterthur (2009), Yves Netzhammer presents two spectacular installations filling entire rooms with videos and objects conceived by the artist especially for the exhibition. In the above video, the curator of the exhibition, Kathleen Bühler, talks about the Yves Netzhammers work, the concept of the exhibition, and upcoming shows at the Kunstmuseum Bern.
On display is Yves Netzhammer's installation Subjectivization of Repetition: Project B / Subjektivierung der Wiederholung. Projekt B (2007). This artwork can be viewed since May 2010 and for the next five years to come. It laid the foundations for a closer investigation and interpretation of Yves Netzhammer's exceptional artwork.
In addition to this installation, Yves Netzhammer has created another installation specifically for his show at the Kunstmuseum Bern. The work The Refuge for Drawbacks transforms the space of the 19th-century Kunstmuseum Bern building into a immersive environment with moving curtains, sound (by Bernd Schurer), computer animated video, wall-painting, objects and architectural elements. Thus, Yves Netzhammer's work unfolds as a Walk-in Gesamtkunstwerk. In the center of the hall, Yves Netzhammer presents his video Dialogischer Antrieb (2010), in the cabinets on both sides of the main room, Netzhammer presents the videos Adressen unmöglicher Orte (2009) and Die Möbel der Proportionen (2008).
Yves Netzhammer was born in 1970 in Schaffhausen / Switzerland. He lives and works in Zürich. Netzhammer has won all major Swiss art awards and participated in the Venice Biennale 2007 (Swiss Pavilion) and the documenta 12 in Kassel.
Yves Netzhammer. The Refuge for Drawbacks / Kunstmuseum Bern. Press preview and interview with curator Kathleen Bühler. Bern / Switzerland, November 3, 2010. The exhibition runs through February 27, 2010.
