Dear Madam, dear Sir,
We are pleased to inform you once again about our upcoming
press preview «Taro Izumi. ex» on MONDAY, 31 August 2020.
We cordially invite you to visit the exhibition that day from 4 to 6 pm. The artist will be present.
Roland Wetzel, director of Museum Tinguely, will welcome you at 4:45 pm. The welcome address will be followed by a guided tour of the show with the curator Séverine Fromaigeat and the artist.
A theatre without an audience, zoom meetings between real and digital museum visitors, invisible works or vacuum cleaner robots moving in the air: with a wondrous and mischievous eye, Izumi reflects on the unprecedented global situation caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. The show «ex» is a chance for visitors to immerse themselves in the quirky, mischief-filled world of Japanese artist Taro Izumi (born 1976 in Nara). On view from September 2 until November 15 it is Izumi's first major solo exhibition in Switzerland. The unique creative universe unfolded for «Taro Izumi. ex» is an organic ecosystem that does not fit neatly into any established artistic category. Sculpture, installation, performance, video and sometimes even the architectural surroundings themselves are closely combined. For more details about the exhibition please
