CARAVAN 2/2015: Sarah Burger
Series of Exhibitions of Young Art
Sarah Burger (*1982) studied philosophy and visual art. Born in Glarus she lives and works in Berlin and Zurich. Sarah Burger is realising two new site-specific works for the foyer of the Aargauer Kunsthaus. By using large-scale panels of fabric with landscapes printed on them, she skilfully plays with various interior and exterior views.
CARAVAN offers visitors to the Aargauer Kunsthaus a chance to encounter young Swiss artists and discover novel and as yet unestablished artistic practices. Its name, CARAVAN, is programmatic; several times a year, artists are given various galleries of the Aargauer Kunsthaus to work with. These “mobile interventions” engage in a discourse with the museum’s building, collection and programme, thus opening up new modes of seeing for the visiting public. In this way, rather than creating a self-contained project space for recent art, the exhibition series promotes a link-up of recent artistic practices with everything else the museum has to offer. With each new instalment, CARAVAN stops at a different and sometimes surprising location in the museum. Among the artists presented in this series to date are Ana Strika, Omar Alessandro, Nathalie Bissig, Augustin Rebetez, Karin Lehmann, David Berweger and Matthias Wyss.
