MEDIA PREVIEW
JEAN-JACQUES LEBEL
«La Chose» de Tinguely, quelques philosophes et «Les Avatars de Vénus»
(13 April – 18 September 2022)
Museum Tinguely cordially invites you to the media preview
on Tuesday, 12 April 2022, at 10:30 am at Museum Tinguely in Basel.
The artist will be present.
You will be welcomed by:
Roland Wetzel, Director Museum Tinguely
Followed by a tour through the exhibition with Jean-Jacques Lebel and Andres Pardey, curator at Museum Tinguely.
The event will take place in English and French.
This exhibition grew out of Europe’s first happening, L’ enterrement de la Chose de Tinguely, which was staged by Lebel on 14 July 1960 and centred on a sculpture by Jean Tinguely. In addition to documents relating to that pioneering event, the show will also feature some of Lebel’s and Tinguely’s ‘philosophes’ as well as Lebel’s late work, Les Avatars de Vénus (2007).
