“The film SCRAP Exploring the Edge revealed multiple facets of an artwork emerging before my eyes. The film shows, in a striking manner, what al-ways remains hidden: the silent, solitary work of an artist in her studio. The best thing a film about an artist can do is not to tell a story but to create space for thought and reflection, without being sensationalist in so doing …” A.R

“It was the film-maker’s conscious and radical decision to focus solely on how artworks are made. The public are invited to dive into an unknown world. The uncompromising concept of the film, which does not deal with biographical details, makes a space in which the viewer can engage with the film’s images. There are no swift cuts nor long discussions. It’s about persevering, reflection and observing a development process …” J.M.B

First comprehensive monograph of the artist. With an interview by Ines Goldbach with Sabine Hertig.
and contributions by Christian Herren, Michael Renner, Hansmartin Siegrist, Barbara van der Meulen and Isabel Zürcher.
Sabine Hertig is known for her analogue and idiosyncratic monumental collages. Equipped with scissors and glue, the Swiss artist brings together a powerful polyphony in her works. An original and distinctive body of work
has thus emerged within ten years, one which demonstrates a new approach to the medium of collage: for Sabine Hertig collage is a means thinking clearly about a world which has itself become an assemblage of information. Texts by expert authors and an interview with Sabine Hertig complement an extensive image selection, enabling fascinating insights into the oeuvre of an exceptional artist.

A collaborative project from the La Kunsthalle Mulhouse and the Kunsthaus Baselland unites two exhibitions that draw the subject of the city into focus. On one hand the two cities of Mulhouse and Basel will be symbolically united by the exhibition across a national border, on the other the invited artists will themselves question this very topic of city and urban life in their works. Multiple artistic positions are thus represented — a few of them presenting complementary works in both exhibition locations — to realise a three-nation, transnational exhibition concept on a significant scale inspired by Regionale 17.
Cities are more than just an agglomeration of people and architecture; cities are also made of what takes place between the built and the planned. The starting point for creative approaches by the invited artists’ is that which is thoughtlessly abandoned, seemingly unimportant and everyday, but not trivial because of it.
In addition the American author Jennifer K. Dicks has been invited to create a poetic bridge between Basel and Mulhouse during the course of the two exhibitions, a project which will position itself in various locations. The course of her writing can also be followed on the websites of both institutions.
In addition to the locations in Mulhouse and Basel/Muttenz there will be an additional artistic intervention in the Bahnhofsbuffet Basel SBB (French side). Details of this at: kunsthausbaselland.ch and kunsthallemulhouse.fr.
Curator: Ines Goldbach in cooperation with Sandrine Wymann, director La Kunsthalle Mulhouse
