Tobias Kaspar. Independence 2009 -2019 An Incomplete Collection of Works

Más información sobre el libro

The volume was published following Tobias Kaspar?s 2018 solo exhibition at Kunsthalle Bern. Titled ?Independence,? it featured teddy bears marching in troops through the galleries and rappelling from the glass ceiling, extras in front of pieces of scenery from a stage version of One Flew over the Cuckoo?s Nest. Just like in the ?lm, where one of the inmates derails the rules of the asylum, Kaspar?in adopting the rules of art and fashion, which he uses, subverts and perverts?asserted independence within the institution?s set of rules. The publication assembles numerous works and exhibitions of the past ten years, including The Street, the blockbuster the artist realized at the Cinecittà Studios in Rome in 2016. Many other texts as well as a roundtable discussion with Anke Dyes, Jakob Schillinger, Tobias Kaspar himself and the editors, Valérie Knoll and Hannes Loichinger, provide a range of different perspectives on Kaspar?s practice.00Exhibition: Kunshalle Bern, Switzerland (22.09. - 02.12.2018).
