Luigi Ghirri: Nothing Old Under The Sun | Zurich
Mar 22–May 25, 2024 (UTC+1)ENDED
Zurich
For Luigi Ghirri the phrase encloses many of the meanings and motivations that have always accompanied his work. The exhibition encompasses a precious selection of photographs spanning multiple series by the artist, the earliest of which is from 1974: the most recent from 1990: .
Walking the streets of Modena, the small town where the artist had lived since the early 1970s, or driving around the surrounding countryside; Ghirri was interested in capturing Italian life and landscape in its various articulations: piazzas, facades of ordinary houses and ruins; their doors, windows, wall colors, tiles; in short – parts of the everyday – which, to him, precisely because they appeared so anonymous and forlorn at times, seemed to be waiting for someone to give them an identity. In his quest, Ghirri visited many popular places such as urban parks or seaside resorts – a fairground in Modena, Capri, an island in the Tyrrhenian Sea, as well as many beaches along the Adriatic coast.
Ghirri's formative years as a topographer brought an essential quality in terms of scale and measurement to his photographic work, a subtle interplay between the immediate, the intermediate and the infinite, that raised the question of what photography stands for when it's not about focusing, the essential decision about what is part of the picture and what is not. Views of views, snippets within snippets, pictures within pictures.
Through time, Ghirri became increasingly concerned with this dual reality. Putting us face to face with the reality of familiar environments, that which our eyes encounter, and seeing it with the astonishment of those viewing it for the first time.
Ghirri’s view is a complex one, telling the tale of a remaining world that does not elude him. While apparently recording the visible, Luigi Ghirri’s photographs – from the conceptual to ‘magic realism’ – reveal a plurality of languages. This perhaps stems from an ingenuous desire for a return to a state of purity, a ground zero of vision that challenges and suggests a new way for us to read and interpret everything we encounter.
Born in Scandiano in 1943, Luigi Ghirri spent his working life in the Emilia Romagna region, where he produced one of the most layered bodies of work – marking the start of something entirely new in the history of photography and the visual culture. Luigi Ghirri was at the height of his career when he passed away in 1992. To this day, his photographs are exhibited extensively both in Italy and abroad.
Some of the most notable museum exhibitions in recent years were held at the Castello di Rivoli in Turin (2012), the MAXXI Museum in Rome (2013), and the Instituto Moreira Salles in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro (2013). In 2018 the first major retrospective of his work outside of Italy opened at the Museum Folkwang in Essen and later traveled to the Museo Reina Sofía in Madrid and the Jeu de Paume in Paris. Luigi Ghirri’s work can also be found in many public collections: The Museum of Modern Art, New York, the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam, the Museum of Photography at the University of Parma, the Musée Reattu of Arles as well as the Fotomuseum, Winterthur. For autumn 2024 a retrospective of his work is planned at the MASI Lugano.
Eva Nielsen: Limestone | Zurich
Mar 22–May 25, 2024 (UTC+1)ENDED
Zurich
Nielsen is known for hybrid paintings and applies latex, leather, silk, and screen-print, which reveal a complex and unexpected dimension to her unique compositions. The works contain a multitude of successive and immersive layers and fictional landscapes. The ‘photo–painter–-artist’ takes photographs of random places and draws from family archives - they are her sources of inspiration and her iconography. The landscapes also inspired two new wallpapers created for the exhibition. The slayers often overlap and create ambiguity about the production process. This mental and technical ambiguity is according to Nielsen the primary path of allowing the viewer to decipher the work. Any viewer who immerses in the landscape experiences distinct colors, light, sound, and scent, which immediately weave a complex network of memories.
The series (170 x 120 cm) is the first in which the brush or paint does not have an impact. Karst is a geomorphological structure resulting from the hydro-chemical and hydraulic erosion of soluble rocks. The works were made with scraps of leather from the Roux tannery, with which Nielsen is collaborating as part of her residency at LVMH in 2021. The artist enthusiastically assembled the cuts made by this particular tannery. The random shapes, sewn together by the artisans (from Mains d’oeuvre), create puzzle-like landscapes that are reminiscent of the way rocks clump together. On the sturdy leather Nielsen deploys printed organza sails which act like an illusion making houses appear as if they were on the edge of a cliff. Silk and leather are materials with almost contradictory properties and the cutouts underline this contrast. Something seems both solid, immutable (leather) and fragile, unexpected, elusive (silk).
In the artist’s landscapes, the concept of cropping and cutting out the horizon and redefining the environment are structuring elements. Their motifs are constant elements and serve as catalysts to create a contradiction, a tension between the printed trace and the pictorial gesture. The direct experience of the horizon is rare, made even more laborious in urban areas where obstacles to the view, made of steel frames and grilles, sabotage the experience. This is particularly apparent in and (230 x 190 cm each). During her stay in Arles, the artist was captivated by these ornate, vernacular grids. These radial, net-like motifs serve as a filter between the landscape and the viewer, blocked or fragmenting their vision. The Camargue provides a horizontal territory and the disruptive, geometric property of these grids allowed the artist to apply the format of the canvas like a window. It creates a tangible frontier between the corporeality of the observer and the reality of the landscape.
(200 x 250 cm, ascian: one that has no shadow. specifically: an inhabitant of the torrid zone where the sun is vertical at noon for a few days every year.), is a utopian vision which is part of Nielsen's research exhibited among others at the Lyon Biennale in 2022. Two fragmentary structures inspired by architecture, indicated by their rocky color, seem to float on a panoramic view at a time at which we do not know if it marks the beginning or the end of the day. These tunnels or underground water conduits that are in the foreground and the black and white screen prints are applied to the bare canvas in both and . The paint is placed on the surface, between masking tapes covering the screen-printed elements. In successive layers, the work is only revealed in its ultimate proposition once the ribbons are removed, usually in a radical motion. These arrangements act by creating an appearance, almost like a mirage, both for the painter, who only discovers the final result at the end, and the viewer is potentially disturbed by these retinal expectations.
According to Nielsen, “talking about houses, architecture, landscapes is talking about humans. Moreover, this is only talking about human beings as we are linked to the ecosystem that we interpret, shape, destroy, fantasize about. Our worlds are inhabited by our desires. Habitat, shelter, and construction are linked to this projection”.
The series consecrates marsh cabins as spaces of passage, border zones, limbos between land and sea. Shifting territories, whose soaked or cracked soils offer unprecedented effects of textures and reliefs, they inspire the artist to come and deploy the motif of a crumpled mosquito net screen-printed on the canvas or paper depending. This gauze is an additional frame that further blurs the gaze and ultimately embodies the ambiguity of these uncertain and enigmatic landscapes.
To Nielsen, the landscape is never neutral. Space, sedimented, is made up of multiple strata; they are all at the same time and simultaneously, geological, political, and social. They are superimposed on the landscape at the same time as they make up its complexity. Accordingly, our experience of the landscape is never neutral. For (80 x 60 cm) and (73 x 55 cm) Nielsen borrows female silhouettes from the family photographic archives. Ink and acrylic are first applied on the canvas. The screen printing follows in a second step to screen the image and creates a grid that prevents the gaze and the gaps between which to observe. Then the printed silk organza is deposited as a transparent veil, a film, a plasma, or an organic hologram. The process is the same for and , in which cabins in the background were photographed in the Camargue on the edges of the marshes.
The use of silk makes this admitted ambiguity of the images much more concrete. The lamination mirrors them and offers a unique visual experience, everything appears to be moving and transitioning depending on the point of view adopted by the viewer. Silk is also a distant relative of silkscreen, with which it has a historical link since it was the material originally used to transfer images. Between appearance and disappearance, the experience of this slow fragmented perception is sensitive, impactful, and almost spiritual.
In this regard, and (180 x 130 cm each) offer a more disruptive experience. The oil is deposited in gradients, according to the classic sfumato technique. Printed latex is stretched over the background. The work appears like skin heated by the sun, incandescent. The viewer almost feels the warmth of the strange but seductive territories of the Camargue radiating. The very title of this series is rooted in the technique of the underlying photography.
Nielsen, as an alchemist accumulates views, superimposes them, adds them, lets them contradict each other, and lets them develop, to finally restore something that echoes the sublime. According to Burke writes about a "terror delicious”: it is the intense feeling of being alive in a landscape that is also alive.
The artist translates the experience of life into plural visual propositions. She reveals her obsession with a fragmentary vision and a fragmented, insoluble, imperfect, captivating relationship with the world we experience. To the viewer, the journey is as physical as it is conceptual and their relationship to Nielsen’s work seems to be in its depth and counter-form, to be of an existentialist nature.
Eva Nielsen’s work has been exhibited in the following public institutions: Mac/Val, France; LACE, Los Angeles; Plataforma Revolver, Portugal; BNKR, Munich; Perm Museum, Russia; Kunsthal Charlottenborg, Denmark and Palais Pisztory, Bratislava among others. In 2009, she was awarded the Prix des Amis des Beaux-Arts Prize and in 2014 the Art Collector Prize (both in France). Her work is featured in numerous public and private collections including: the Mac/Val, the Musée de Rochechouart, the Musée des Beaux-arts de Paris, The Fiminco Fondation, The Société Générale Collection, the FMAC, the FRAC Auvergne, the Fondation Schneider, the Emerige Collection (all in France), as well as in the MOCA, Los Angeles, USA and the Fondation Thalie, Belgium. In 2021, Eva Nielsen was the laureate of the LVMH Métiers d'Arts prize. In 2022, she was nominated for the 23rd Fondation Pernod Ricard Prize "Horizones" and participated in the 16th Lyon Biennale of Contemporary Art: Manifesto of Fragility in Lyon, France. In 2023, she is the laureate with Marianne Derrien of the BMW Art Makers Prize with the Insolare Project, exhibited in Les Rencontres d’Arles in 2023.
Isabel Nuño de Buen: Garden of Time | Zurich
Mar 22–May 25, 2024 (UTC+1)ENDED
Zurich
Isabel Nuño de Buen's works appear like enigmatic relics from an unknown civilization. Their material composition and sculptural versatility convey a complex system of references, weaving motifs from the present as well as the past into poetic allusions that pivot around the artist’s personal disposition and the complexities of human experience.
For her first solo exhibition at Mai 36 Galerie, Isabel Nuño de Buen (*1985, Mexico City, lives and works in Hannover) presents a selection of six unique reliefs from her ongoing series as well as two large-scale wall pieces that she personally likes to refer to as drawings. As a whole, these works provide us with a fascinating insight into her artistic journey.
Besides the fluctuating, ever-evolving process of creation, it is the hybrid nature of a work of art that interests Isabel Nuño de Buen. Presented in the style of a wall tapestry, her work originates from numerous drawings that the artist executed on tracing paper, using charcoal, graphite, and watercolor. Subsequently the drawings were torn, cut, and reconfigured, until patched and sewn together into a fragmented three-dimensional wall piece, distinguished by its textural diversity and extraordinary materiality. Uniting bold imagery and organic depictions, the piece itself resembles a fragment of something larger, like a surviving piece of a historical artifact or manuscript. Characterized by gaping voids that defy clear topographical identification, the work carries a metaphorical potential and timelessness. It appeals to a transhistorical and -cultural view of human creativity in which practices like drawing and sewing are ancient art forms, which at different moments in history served to preserve knowledge and experience.
Isabel Nuño de Buen’s intricately crafted are evocative and mysterious wall reliefs that remain open to speculation. It is possible to find formal connections between her work and these reliefs. Not only do they allude to the fragments and drawings at play in , but are similarly articulated by layers of materials that here pile on top of each other: papier maché armatures, segments of glazed ceramics and dyed textiles, including documents or small letters as well as drawings on transparent paper.
Tied together with hand-made yarn, string or gauze, they appear like little outlandish gifts or ancient talismans. Indecipherable yet complete, these diffuse formations display a determination and precision in their form and material sensitivity, paralleled only by their intent to encode. They invite close observation but, as fragments, refuse complete clarification.
With her distinctive blend of traditional techniques and innovative conceptual approaches, Nuño de Buen's work has garnered critical acclaim for its depth, complexity, and emotional resonance. With its many possible meanings, it dances around the edges of our comprehension, much like former civilizations that exist on the threshold of our understanding, yet somehow remain beyond our grasp.
Isabel Nuño de Buen was born in Mexico City in 1985. She completed her studies at the HBK Braunschweig under Bogomir Ecker in 2014. In 2020 she received the Sprengel Prize from Sprengel Museum Hannover. Her works have been featured in galleries, museums and private collections across the globe. Most recently, she has had solo exhibitions at the Kunstverein Hannover, Chris Sharp Gallery LA and Sprengel Museum Hannover. In 2024, she will have a solo exhibition at ICA, Milano.
Matthew Angelo Harrison: American Ghost | Zurich
Apr 13–May 25, 2024 (UTC+1)ENDED
Zurich
Harrison is known for his clear block “encapsulations” of found African artifacts that scrutinize and bring a lens to the ineradicable effects of racism and colonialization. With rigorous technical methods, Harrison enshrines the found objects, such as African wooden sculptures and bone, in acrylic resin, plexiglass, and industrial modeling clay that he then sculpts using computer numerical control (CNC) machines. Harrison has also used these manufacturing techniques to encase recent artifacts of the American working class, speaking to labor and inequality, the politics of mass production, and anthropology.
Matthew Angelo Harrison was born in 1989 in Detroit, MI, US, where he lives and works. Harrison’s solo exhibition Robota was presented at MIT List Visual Arts Center, Cambridge, MA, US (2022). Furthermore, he has been the subject of solo exhibitions at and SCAD Museum of Art, Savannah, GA, US (2022); Kunsthalle Basel, Basel, CH (2021); Broad Art Museum, Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI, US (2018); Atlanta Contemporary, Atlanta, GA, US (2017); and Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit, Detroit, MI, US (2016).

Günther Förg Arbeiten auf Papier / Works on Paper / Oeuvres sur Papier: 1975 – 2009 | Zurich
Sep 27–Dec 20, 2024 (UTC+1)ENDED
Zurich
The largest survey exhibition of Günther Förg’s works on paper, spanning over 30 years, opens at Hauser & Wirth Zurich, Limmatstrasse, this September. Förg’s works on paper were an integral part of his multi-disciplinary practice (which comprised drawing, painting, photography and sculpture) and ran parallel to his works on canvas. Executed in a variety of materials, from watercolor, acrylic and oil to charcoal, chalk and ink, these creations are considered works in their own right; instead of using them as preparatory sketches for paintings, the artist would often be inspired to paint and draw on paper after experimenting with his large-scale canvases. The exhibition includes well-known series, including his Grid, Color Field, Grey and Spot works, alongside lesser-known pieces, such as early works on paper from his studies in Munich, or later series such as Mostly Landscapes.

Chen Zuo Burn for the Day | Zurich
Nov 7, 2024–Jan 18, 2025 (UTC+1)ENDED
Zurich
Galerie Urs Meile is pleased to announce Burn for the Day, the first solo exhibition by emerging Chinese artist Chen Zuo (b. 1990, Hunan Province, China) in Europe at its Zurich gallery. The show commences with a compelling statement, “Burn for the Day”. Inspired by the opening line of the poem Ta sha Xing · Yuan Xī (踏莎行-元夕)1 by the Chinese poet Mao Pang (毛滂) , “ Seeking spring through the snow, lighting lamps to keep the day going.” Chen Zuo’s rewriting distinguishes itself from a helpless compromise with the night and obedience to reality. It diverges from a more Apollonian approach characterized by rigor, order, and control. Instead, he acknowledges and embraces the unknowable future symbolized by the night and seeks the birth of a new order through a forceful intervention into the chaos. A violence that can be seen as a reaction against social conditioning and the structural oppression faced by the global South in the process of universal urbanization.

Johnny Izatt-Lowry: In, and just outside of | Galerie Fabian Lang
Nov 22, 2024–Jan 31, 2025 (UTC+1)ENDED
Zurich
When one talks about the work of Johnny Izatt-Lowry, one often wants to start with the classic movie trailer intro “In a world where…” (add stirring music). He takes from one world and places it into another. The first world is a fast-moving, stressful and at times dark one - the digital world. The other is ours - the physical. The pathos employed by Izatt-Lowry also resembles an epic; the works are understood as a wide-ranging, comprehensive narrative of a reality of our time.
