| DAN GRAHAM: More of the Same
DAN GRAHAM’s pavilions are hybrid structures, operating simultaneously as functional spaces and as sculptural objects. His multi-faceted practice has long overridden the standard divisions that separate different disciplines, using text, photography and three-dimensional form to appropriate and intervene in the fabric of the common-place. Self-irony and anarchic humour are allied to... |

| Eugène Atget: Paris c. 1900 (Retropective)
Eugène Atget (1857-1927) is one of the greatest photographers of the 20th century. He became famous primarily through his views of the "old Paris", which were coveted by collectors even during his lifetime, and which served numerous painters as sample prints for their work. For a long time known only to a small circle of historians, artists and museum curators, Atget worked tirelessly... |

| Markus Schinwald
The psychological debate between space and body, the uncanny and the disquieting, the deficits and the irrational depths of the individual and collective being – all are themes at play in the works of Markus Schinwald (born 1973, Salzburg). The most varied media are fused with apparent lightness in his work – from nightmarish films and puppet-like sculptures to re-worked history... |

Kirstine Roepstorff’s collages exude primal instinct at its best; getting back to basics has never been so glamorous. Excavating the most rudidmentary cornerstone of culture, Roepstorff takes her departure point from rocks (yes, those hard things on the ground!) In Roepstorff’s hands... |

| Markus Gadient: There is a feeling I get when I look to the west
We get out of the car by a country road in front of Markus Gadient's studio, built on the no-man's land in a non-descript place halfway between Basel and the banlieue of Saint-Louis, where a decline in farming and very little real estate speculation contribute to the picture of a dreary remote province, so typical of the French interior, torn between the bygone countryside idyll and... |

It also became an unforgettable icon of modern art in general. The exhibition Action Painting is devoted to the... |
