Schwebend

Back from Basel 
My Show Schwebend is up and running

So the show I made for the new temporary exhibition space  at the Museum der Kulturen in Basel (in Switzerland) went up on the 26th April 2012. It took 18 months in total of which 6 months were full-time construction and the last 8 weeks were particularly intense installation. We got there in the end and I was very pleased with the results ..... in the end ...... the night before. The show is still up runs till 15 July 2012 and being very well received. I hope you get to see the real thing before it comes down, but if you're not passing through Europe, then this little video documentation made by the Museum's very capable photographer Derek Li Wan Po. It's a rough cut and watching these works on a laptop is a pale ghost of the real experience in "The Space", but it's the best I can do for you:



 

Brad Shaffer made it over to see the show and also film some amazing documentation for me which you can find here on the Museum site:
