Two half-times: 1st half-time Switzerland. Sculptural installations. In an intensive build-up period, the four artists occupy the space, filling it with things that are partly discovered by chance, but are then placed precisely: A balancing act between the ordinary and the significant; an approach that negates the conventional understanding of art, which expects that something new, something eternal is constantly being added to the world, by leaving the objects not pedantic but essential. In the transitorium of the exhibition space, a change of perspective emerges that illuminates, reflects, breaks and alienates the familiar.
