with Polly Apfelbaum, Katharina Grosse, Bruno Jakob, Adrian Schiess, Christine Streuli, Niele Toroni, Duane Zaloudek

Surfaces comprise space and time. Surfaces can hang, lie or stand – in all sorts of ways. They can be defined by frames or repeated in open-ended series. Surfaces can be folded, stacked, crushed and ripped; their shapes can be geometric or entirely random. All paintings starts with a surface. The urge to explore and investigate these properties and a desire to find points of contact with other artistic mediums are the hallmarks of today’s unbounded, trans-medium painting.
