Keck-Kiosk, Basel
HeK@Keck Kiosk. The artist prepares an installation that reflects the use of media in the post-digital age
Parallel to the ART Basel 2014, the Luxembourg-born artist Sophie Young will transform the Keck Kiosk at Kaserne for House of Electronic Arts Basel. Her practice addresses representation and its pitfalls, both culturally as a system of disguised and shifting signs and personally as a way to track and record life. She regularly negotiates between form and affect, pragmatism and romance, between scrutinizing accuracy and magical awe. Her work is strict, slick and abstract as well as emotionally involved, performative and overly literal; the intersection of form, structure and rhythm with the messy, whimsical, perturbed and oddly sentimental is the underlying tone in her work, be it video, performance, sculpture, text or photography. In her current work, Jung prepares for the Keck-Kiosk an installation that reflects the use of media in the post-digital age. Opening Wednesday Mai 14, 7p.m. Performance: Thursday June 19, 12a.m. and Saturday June 21, 5.30p.m. Free entry.
