Artist window28.5.–2.7.2014Dock Basel (CH)
The exhibition Artists’ Window: Space tag—Alltag shows works explicitly created for display windows by the three artists Matthias Aeberli, Sabine Hertig und Madeleine Jaccard. Their works question diverse spatial ideas and, as the double meaning of the title already suggests, play with the social dimension of space. In English, “to tag” means to mark something in the process. Space tagging—marking space or putting a sign in space—is an event that creates the space in the first place and is defined in its function. Sabine Hertig creates new “meaning spaces”: she works with headlines from newspapers and combines them to form writing pictures whose meaning visitors and passersby can interpret.
With works by: Matthias Aeberli, Sabine Hertig, and Madeleine Jaccard
