More Description

Zita - ?apa. This chamber piece by Katharina Fritsch and Alexej Koschkarow is a precisely conceived installation in three rooms. The artists created new sculptures and drawings for this work in an intensive period of exchange. In a scenic setting, the eight works enter into a dialogue with one another as if on a stage. Through playing the Schaulager's rooms with an artful dramaturgy, an ominous atmosphere arises, and what first presents itself as a domestic situation, quickly switches to an explosive mood. The content and scale of the elaborately designed catalogue mirrors the complexity and the various levels that Zita - ?apa works on. Published on the occasion of the exhibition at Schaulager, Basel, 12 June to 2 October 2016. Published with Schaulager and Laurenz Foundation. English and German text.
