Imagine a museum that becomes a living, breathing city. The first survey exhibition by Chinese artist Cao Fei in Switzerland merges impressive installations and video worlds into an immersive Gesamtkunstwerk that runs through the Kunstmuseum Basel | Gegenwart. The work invites visitors on a journey into a universe in which narratives from physical, virtual and hybrid worlds meet and the changing role of China in the world is addressed. The exhibition is a poetic exploration of the interplay between time, memory and history.
Cao Fei (* 1978 in Guangzhou) is considered one of the most influential artists of her generation. She deals with the effects of rapid social and technological upheaval. Her videos, virtual realities and game-based environments are set in factories, dreamscapes and visions of the future. They deal with work, change and the strange beauty of a globalized world.
