VILLA JELMINI. THE COMPLEX OF RESPECT

Kunsthalle Bern
Bern, Switzerland
2006

Curated by Philippe Pirotte, this exhibition was “a kind of problematic homage to the curator Harald Szeeman”, dealing with “both the complex and ambiguous notion of respect – in the context of the international perception of Szeemann as a ‘larger than life’ character, but also the reflexion of the establishment in a provincial town in order to celebrate a former rebel – on the one hand, and some of Szeemans ‘obsessions’ (the a-historical approach, the process of creation, the visionary, the individual mythology, the total work of art, the encyclopedia…)”
