TRANSFERT
Biel - Bienne, ,
CH Switzerland
Thirty-nine artists (Europe, USA,
Thailand) have been invited to work in the urban setting. They sneak into
the city's infrastructures and question art's ability to work its way into our
everyday lives.
TRANSFERT is the 10th Swiss Sculpture Exhibition to be held in Bienne.
The first exhibition in this series – a pioneering one in its determination to
show art in the public place – dates back to 1954, the last one to 1991.
This major show is under the patronage of a committee made up of
personalities like Ruth Dreifuss, Moritz Leuenberer, Yvette Jaggi, Herzog
& de Meuron, Simon de Pury, etc.
A voluminous, 480-page catalogue (Engl./Ger./Fr.) is being published to
accompany the exhibition.
PLACE
