Cue David Bowie (and if you’re not old enough to remember him, head over to Spotify and check him out now). Schattenmonster & andere Verwandlungen is the actual title of this exhibition in Winterthur, but I’m not one to let accuracy get in the way of a good headline. “Mountains, clothes, octopuses and art” is […]
An exhibition at the Beyeler is always a wonderful thing, and their tribute to the Spanish artist Goya, is no excption.

The 2000 Sculpture can be seen at the Kunsthaus Zürich. By Walter De Maria, it is considered to be a “space-filling installation”. Specifically it is a 500sqm space filled with 2,000 white plaster rods – 50 cm by approx 12 cm high. The elements have either five, seven or nine sides and are laid out
Quite surprised by this one. I still listen to some of Conrad’s drone music, typically his collaboration with Faust, Outside the Dream Syndicate. (According to Wikipedia, this is considered a classic of minimalist and drone music). But back to the art. The MAMCO exhibition sets out to “retrace his career over nearly sixty years
