"Philippe Parreno" 10.6. - 30.9.2012

Philippe Parreno, CHZ, inverted topiary, #1, 2011, ink on paper, 20,8 x 29,3 cm

The French artist Philippe Parreno (b. 1964) is presenting new films, drawings, sculptures and sound installations at the Fondation Beyeler. In the dark, enigmatic landscapes created for his spectacular film “Continuously Habitable Zones (CHZ)”, science and fiction intermerge. His works are situated in the poetic realm between yearning and memory. Parreno experiments with shifts of perception and forms of exhibition that draw viewers into them in a surprising way.

"Edgar Degas" 30.9.2012 – 27.1.2013

Degas, Edgar, Trois danseuses, jupes violettes, 1896, Private Collection

Alongside van Gogh, Cézanne and Gauguin, Edgar Degas (1834-1917) is considered one of the major pioneers of modern art. Yet Degas exhibitions are a rare occurrence. After putting Impressionism behind him in about 1880, Degas reached the undoubted culmination of his art in his daring and unique late work. The Fondation Beyeler's comprehensive exhibition is devoted to this late work with its richness of techniques and motifs, presenting renowned depictions of dancers and jockeys, female nudes and landscapes.
