Hannah Villiger presents fragmented depictions of her body in a variety of states.  Having graduated from the Lucerne School of Applied Arts in 1974, Hannah Villiger (who died in 1997) began to make photography her favourite medium in the early 1980s.

On the market, in the stores, in displays, the commodities stand still, ready for a single kind of activity, namely their exchange. Example: a commodity marked at a definite price is subject to the fiction of complete material immutability, and not only by human hands. Even nature must hold its breath when it comes to the commodity’s body, or at least for as long as the price is supposed to stay the same . . . Wherever a society’s foundational relations are reduced to trade, a vacuum free from humans’ manual and intellectual activities must be created, so that in this vacuum their connection t ..read more

“The paintings, the video, the sculptures—all of the work—is about being captured in a continual state of transition.” —Sarah Sze This exhibition, the artist’s sixth with Victoria Miro, marks a return to Venice for Sze, who featured in the 1999 and 2015 Biennales and represented the United States with her exhibition “Triple Point” in the 2013 Biennale.

Nina Beier points to unsettling aspects of everyday objects and habits  When society’s appreciation for an object rises or falls, the artist Nina Beier gets interested. It might be a hand-rolled cigar or a vintage sink, its colour once given an imperialist name, such as “Indian ivory” or “Bali brown.” Her sculptures juxtapose objects and materials. In their new contexts they again take on new meanings, for example, in Plug (2018) a thick cigar protrudes out of the drain hole beneath a pastel-toned sink. Nina Beier (b. 1975, Denmark) turns the spotlight onto the biographies and historical ..read more
