Anouk Kruithof
Universal Tongue

(Danse Macabre No. VII)
24 April – 29 January 2023

Universal Tongue came out of Anouk Kruithof’s fascination with dance videos shared online as embodiments of personal expression, cultural identity, empowerment and joy. In a digital-archaeological study, she assembled 8800 videos, using them to realise the 8-channel video installation and a compendium of 1000 dance styles from around the world. Kruithof’s work is marked by a critical, multidisciplinary exploration of digital imagery.

Territories of Waste
On the Return of the Repressed

14 September 2022 – 8 January 2023

The entire ecosphere – the oceans, the air, our food, the soil, even the Antarctic – contains residues, particles and chemicals derived from our consumer culture. The extraction of raw materials leaves behind destroyed landscapes and toxic spoil. Waste is everywhere. The group show at Museum Tinguely brings together art that deals with this issue, both works by contemporary artists with their global, geopolitical and ecological perspective and works from the second half of the twentieth century that reflect the move towards a throwaway society and environmental destruction that emerged from the 1960s.
