The exhibition “Tempesta” is a meditation on contemporary sculpture as a complex and powerful practice that plays a special role in the current artistic context. It proves to be a medium with remarkably diverse connections between form, image, sound, space, and the body, enabling an experience that is both immediately sensual and intellectually stimulating. Art thus becomes a genuine site of experience.
“Tempesta” brings together works by prominent contemporary artists such as Julius von Bismarck, Josh Kline, Jos Näpflin, Vittorio Santoro, Tenant of Culture, Andreas Waldmeier, and Annie Wan Lai-kuen. Neither purely contemplative nor directly narrative, these formally precise works are committed statements that enable an active engagement with the present; they exist self-assuredly in a context marked by multiple social crises, existential threats, and challenges.
Common to all works in “Tempesta” is their openness to the world and their development of individually strong artistic languages. This grants them the rare ability to define a space situated at an equidistant point between the individual and the community.
