Thanks to everyone for joining @berenice.olmedo’s opening yesterday! With her two groups of works shown in “Hic et Nunc,” the artist dispossesses the human of its claim of wholeness and foregrounds the political dimensions of disability, illness, and care. Newly made for her largest exhibition to date and her first institutional show in Switzerland, Olmedo’s sculptures might initially evoke earthworms exploring plastic cocoons, lugubriously twitchy condom-encased penises, or even extra-terrestrial massage devices. The exhibition opening has been catered thanks to the in-kind support of @cartell_lafamilia. 📸(1–2,4–5,7–8) Exhibition opening captured by @whoisnicolasgysin (3,6,9–10) Installation views, Berenice Olmedo, “Hic et Nunc,” Kunsthalle Basel, 2022.
