EDIT ODERBOLZ
The Moon is Shining from the Left
25 February - 14 May 2017

The Kunstverein Nürnberg – Albrecht Dürer Gesellschaft is pleased to present the first comprehensive solo exhibition by Edit Oderbolz (b. 1966, Stein am Rhein, Switzerland; lives in Basel) in Germany.

Building on her solo show at the Kunsthaus Baselland (August 31 – November 6, 2016), Oderbolz will develop a presentation with recent works that engage in direct dialogue with the architecture of New Objectivity exemplified by the Milchhof building. Oderbolz’s working practice is characterised by sculptural settings and her restructuring and extension of the existing space. The use of drawing within the medium of sculpture, the pointed selection of everyday materials between stability and flexibility, as well as the influence of the viewer’s physical and mental experience of space play a central role in her work.

In conjunction with the cooperation project an extensive monograph was published by argobooks, Berlin, in October 2016. Edit Oderbolz – The Moon is Shining from the Left, ed. by Kunsthaus Baselland and Kunstverein Nürnberg – Albrecht Dürer Gesellschaft, with texts by Ines Goldbach, Simone Neuenschwander, Noëlle Pia, Aoife Rosenmeyer, Basel, Nürnberg 2016.


Edit Oderbolz (b. 1966, Stein am Rhein; lives in Basel, Switzerland) is known in the contemporary art context above all with the awarding of the Manor Art Prize, Basel (2004), the solo exhibition at the Kunsthaus Langenthal (2008), the project for the back wall of Kunsthalle Basel (2009/2010) as well as through her presentation at the Statements, Art Basel (2010).
