Guided tour in French of the exhibitions BHARTI KHER & MANUEL BURGENER, with Kathleen Vitor, art historian.

The Photoforum is looking forward to presenting the first solo exhibition of Lisa Lurati (*1989, lives and works in Lugano and Berlin).

The Photoforum invites the three photographers who founded the independent Catalan publishing house Ca l’Isidret: Aleix Plademunt, Juan Diego Valera and Roger Guaus.

Manuel Burgener’s (* 1978, CH) installations, objects and images give an impression of being unfinished and precarious. For his new installation spanning five rooms, the winner of the 2018 Manor Art Award combines video, sound and space. Armed with two mobile cameras in a remote seaside house, the artist captured the temporality and fleetingness of the present moment over a period of twenty-four hours. The duration of the project corresponds exactly to that of the video, which will run continuously throughout the exhibition.

Bharti Kher (*1969, GB, lives and works in New Delhi) exploits the drama inherent in objects, tapping into mythologies and the diverse associations of things. Her painting, sculpture and installation often incorporate bindis (a popular fashion accessory that marks a symbol of the third eye and is reclaimed by Kher as a deliberate sign of gender). She assembles, juxtaposes and transforms found objects. In stripping these of their meaning, she explores cultural misunderstandings and social codes.

With «Zeitspuren», the Photoforum Pasquart, the Art Centre Pasquart and the New Museum Biel partner for a project articulated around the topic of time and its passage.
