Invitation to the press information regarding the exhibitions of Wolfgang Tillmans «Neue Welt» und Helen Marten «Almost the exact shape of Florida» at Kunsthalle Zürich

Friday, 31 August 2012, 11am

Dear Madam or Sir,

We are pleased to invite you to our press preview of the exhibitions by Wolfgang Tillmans and Helen Marten at our renovated and extended premises at the Löwenbräukunst complex.

The exhibition «Neue Welt» («New World», 1 September – 4 November 2012) is dedicated to a reunion with an artist who presented his very first institutional exhibition at the Kunsthalle Zürich in 1995. Since then, Wolfgang Tillmans (born in 1968) has tested and expanded the possibilities of photography in the most varied ways through his photographic and video works. Along with his latest abstract works, the exhibition presents photographs from the artist’s new group of works of the same name, which were created in the course of numerous journeys and are collected here for the first time in a comprehensive show.

As second solo show Kunsthalle Zürich presents the first institutional exhibition by Helen Marten (born in 1985). For «Almost the exact shape of Florida», the British artist has created a new group of works which interweave the diversity of her work in terms of media – from sculptures to wall pieces and floor works – in a comprehensive installation.

Please register for the press information or send your request for the press kit as well as press images to Anna Francke: presse@kunsthallezurich.ch, Tel +41 44 272 15 15.

We are looking forward to welcoming you on Friday, 31 August, at 11am, at the Löwenbräukunst complex.

With kind regards,
