Belle Haleine – The scent of art
11 February - 17 May 2015
(featuring MFA graduate Clara Ursitti)
Museum Tinguely is pursuing the project of a series of exhibitions
with which, in the coming years, it will shed light on the complex theme
of the five human senses and on their representation in the art. As the
first show in this series, our group exhibition “Belle Haleine – The
Scent of Art” from February 11 until May 17, 2015 deals with the
fascinating and fleeting phenomenon of odor and thereby goes beyond the
usual museum-based form of experiencing art, where the beholder’s sense
of sight is appealed to above all.
“Belle Haleine – The Scent of Art” presents
multimedia room installations, videos, sculptures and objects,
conceptual works, drawings, photographs, and graphics by the following
international artists: John Baldessari, Bernard Bazile, Louise
Bourgeois, Marcel Broodthaers, Carlo Carrà, Marcel Duchamp, Peter de
Cupere, Sylvie Fleury, Jaromír Funke, Yuan Gong, Raymond Hains, Carsten
Höller, Bruno Jakob, Oswaldo Maciá, Piero Manzoni, Jenny Marketou, Cildo
Meireles, Kristoffer Myskja, Ernesto Neto, Markus Raetz, Man Ray,
Martial Raysse, François Roche, Dieter Roth, Ed Ruscha, Valeska Soares,
Daniel Spoerri, Gerda Steiner & Jörg Lenzlinger, Jana Sterbak, Jean
Tinguely, Sissel Tolaas, Clara Ursitti, Ben Vautier, Bill Viola, Claudia
Vogel, Meg Webster and Anna-Sabina Zürrer. In addition, a selection of
allegorical works from the 16th to 17th century by artists such as
Cornelis Dusart, Pieter Jansz. Quast, Jan Saenredam, Jacob Fransz. van
der Merck will be on view in the first room of the show.Museum Tinguely | Paul Sacher-Anlage 2 | P.O. Box 3255 CH-4002 Basel | Telefon + 41 61 681 93 20 | Telefax + 41 61 681 93 21
