En route...en Basel

My second art day this week. I went to Basel to see Fernand Leger at Fondation Beyeler. It was alright, nothing to scream for. Somewhat monotone and although he was of no inspiration to me he had been to Rosenquist, Jasper Johns and Roy Lichtenstein as well as Rauschenberg. But Beyeler is always worth visiting and to my great despair I got to witness gigantic Anselm Kiefer works being installed. Despair because I most likely will miss the exhibit. 

After Beyeler I drove on to Schaulager, where I saw Monica Sosnowska and Andrea Zittel. Too "gegenward" (present) for me. Although both had their impressive ideas. Sosnowska had some pieces that made you think about space and size relations. One piece that was quite neat was a corridor you walked down, then the corridor turned left and suddenly you stood in front of a wall, only, the wall was the floor continued and when you looked up the corridor kept going but upward, as if a giant had taken it and bent it 45 degrees. 

And Andrea Zittel was trying to answer the question of what it would be like if we didnt rely on scientific time. What would our day look like without any relation or feeling of set, standardized time. 

So that was my day. 

PS. A small, possibly very unnecessary, side note: I realized whilst looking up Fernand Leger og google to find images that Harve Leger images come up almost as frequent. And his so called IN dress actually creates a similar, albeit much slimmer, body shape with breasts and hips greatly emphasized.
