The German-French artist Véronique Verdet (*1967, Cannes) lives and works in Saarbrücken. She studied sculpture and audiovisual art at the HBK Saar art academy from 2000 to 2004 and has made a name for herself with delicate drawings and installations, which she describes as "fictitious social cartography".
Verdet developed a new, large-format cluster drawing from the "Fouloscopie" series especially for the Kunstmuseum Singen project space, which she combines with other drawings and miniature figures in wooden boxes. In her works, she addresses collective migratory movements, ambivalences, the relationship between the crowd and the individual, spaces and places, borders and boundaries, belonging and isolation.

Anlass der Ausstellung ist ihre familiäre Verbindung zur Bodenseehalbinsel Höri: Véronique Verdet ist die Enkelin des Künstlerpaares Walter Herzger und Gertraud Herzger-von Harlessem, deren Werke aktuell in der Ausstellung »Die Kunst des Einfachen.« zu sehen sind. Mit ihrer Präsentation bringt das Kunstmuseum Singen eine zeitgenössische Position in den Raum ihrer Großeltern – und schlägt zugleich thematisch eine Brücke zurück zu den Erfahrungen und Lebenswegen der »Höri-Künstler«, die in Verdets Arbeiten einen aktuellen Widerhall finden.
