Introducing the artists…

Kazuko Miyamoto, born in Tokyo and based in New York since the 1960s, assisted Sol LeWitt while building her own practice. Her string constructions stretch cotton string between industrial nails, carrying Minimalism’s line into space. A member of A.I.R. Gallery, she later founded Gallery Onetwentyeight. @exilegram

Anna Moreno, working between Barcelona and The Hague, builds moving-image installations, montages and speculative fictions around a society’s picture of its own future. She returns to historical moments that never quite finished: modern aspirations still standing, and still inhabited. @aa_oeo

Basyma Saad, artist and writer born in Beirut and trained in architecture, works across film, performance, sculpture, essays and fiction. With dark humour and close attention to forms of struggle, her work turns to mourning, spontaneity and surplus. @basyyyma

Erwin Thorn, Viennese artist active from the late 1950s, took the canvas apart from its frame outwards, letting painting become relief, sculpture and conceptual work. White was a beginning for him, not an end. He called his stance Anlehnung und Distanz: leaning on and holding apart at once. #ErwinThorn @lombardi_kargl

Albert Welti, Zürich-born painter and etcher of the Symbolist generation, moved in Arnold Böcklin’s orbit and filled Swiss landscapes with centaurs and dreams. His Landsgemeinde mural for the Federal Palace in Bern was completed by others after his death in 1912. #AlbertWelti @stadtzh
