Invitation to the press information Cameron Jamie at Kunsthalle Zürich

Friday, 7 June 2013, 11 am

Dear Madam or Sir,

we are pleased to invite you to the press preview of our upcoming exhibition by Cameron Jamie (9 June – 18 August).

Kunsthalle Zürich presents a comprehensive solo exhibition by the American artist Cameron Jamie (born in 1969 in Los Angeles), which reveals the wide diversity of media he employs in his artistic production. Covering more than two decades of activity, the exhibition intertwines early works with very recent ceramic sculptures and new ink drawings. For the first time, the artist has allowed his drawings, sculptures, ceramics and objects to be shown in dialogue with his films BB (1998–2000), Massage the History (2007–2009) and Kranky Klaus (2002–2003), which portray both the American and European vernacular and amateur traditions through a radical arrangement of images and sound.

Cameron Jamie’s installation «Inner Planets» comprising 42 clay masks is shown at Palmenhaus in the Old Botanical Garden Zurich (1 – 30 June). The project is curated by Lynn Kost and held in cooperation with Kunsthalle Zürich and Art in Public Space Zurich (KiöR). 

The press information on Friday, 7 June, 11 am at Kunsthalle Zürich is followed by the press information of the POOL pilot exhibiton «some a little sooner, some a little later», curated by Gabi Ngcobo, at 12 pm at LUMA/Westbau, Löwenbräukunst complex. POOL is a new program drawing on a ‘pool’ of works from private collections in order to develop and encourage emerging curatorial talents, hosted by LUMA foundation.
