Public Opening — Fresh Window. The Art of Display & Display of Art
For decades, there have been close links between the histories of art and shop window display. Besides Jean Tinguely, many other artists have designed pioneering window displays. Conversely, window displays frequently feature as a motif in artworks or serve as a stage for performances and actions. The exhibition will explore this eventful relationship from its beginnings to the present day, while artistic interventions in shop windows in Basel extend the show into public space. For this part of the show, Museum Tinguely is cooperating with StadtKonzeptBasel and students from the Institute Art Gender Nature HGK Basel FHNW who will create installations and performances in various shop windows between January and March 2025.
On this evening, there will be a free public opening of this exhibition; no registration required.
