Basel-based artist CLARE KENNY has been destroying, painting, sraying and constantly experimenting with photograph. Her new solo show at Galerie Gisèle Linder (Basel) is no exception: working mainly in situ, she has created a series of playful and intriguing objects questioning the meaning of photography, sculpture and gallery space.

Taking the image out from the wall into 3 dimensional space she then applies further applications to their surfaces such as varnish and spraypaint or untertakes an action such as folding or punching holes into its surface: leading us to investigate further its materiality and not only the image content. The photograph in its new perspective may offer us further possibilities for interpretation. – CLARE KENNY

Odds and Ends will run through the end of August so don’t miss your chance to see the work of the upcoming artist CLARE KENNY
