Tatiana Trouvé is known for her room constructions, architectonic interventions, and snake-like metal sculptural objects that are semmingly solidified in movement, as if frozen. At the Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst Zürich, Tatiana Trouvé presents new works in her first solo exhibition in Switzerland: an installative spatial structure with architectonic interventions and large format drawings. One of the highlights of the exhibition is the installation in the main hall of the museum, called 350 points à lâinfini (350 points towards eternity). Itâs âan area with numerous pendulums that have been brought to a standstill, each of which has been sent in a different direction by an invisible magnetic field. The pendulum, an instrument frequently used in research about magnetic fields and often lending a space the character of a living organism, here takes an uncanny, mysterious character. In the antithesis of the rhythmic time-defined beat of the metronome, the organism âspaceâ appears to have been cast ...

An essential part of the Jenny Holzer exhibition at Fondation Beyeler in Riehen / Basel in Switzerland is a series of projections in public space. Since 1996 Jenny Holzer has created light projections in public spaces around the world, at sites including the glass pyramid at the Louvre in Paris and the facade of the Guggenheim Museum in New York. With these large scale projections, the texts she uses in these works enter a dialogue with the public building on which they are projected, its look and its history. The texts used in these projections at times are Holzer's own, and in other times are the work of others such as WisÅawa Szymborska (the Polish Nobel Prize winner for literature), and the American poet Henri Cole. This video documents the light projections onto Basel's City Hall (November 1, 2009), Basel's Cathedral (November 3, 2009), and the Swiss Railway Station (Bahnhof SBB, November 5, 2009).
