Zilvinas Kempinas: Slow Motion at Museum Tinguely, Basel

Zilvinas Kempinas: Slow Motion at Museum Tinguely in Basel, Switzerland is the largest exhibition of the New York-based Lithuanian artist to date. Zilvinas Kempinas is known for his kinetic works with magnetic tape. In this video, the curator of the exhibition and director of Museum Tinguely, Roland Wetzel, provides us with an introduction to the show.

Zilvinas Kempinas: Slow Motion is spread across four exhibition floors and features both newly designed works and works that have already been on show elsewhere but are constantly re-created in each specific new space. Among the earlier works on display are Moon Sketch (2005), Parallels (2007), Ballroom (2010), and the 2-Fan Drawings. One of the most recent works is Light Pillars (2013), composed of two large, eight meter-tall, freestanding cylinders that are formed by several concentric layers of videotape. This piece and several other works are presented in dialogue with Jean Tinguely's works. The exhibition is curated by Roland Wetzel, director of Museum Tinguely and has been set up in an intensive collaboration with Zilvinas Kempinas.
