Edition with Spichtig

New Edition by Tobias Spichtig now available @ SAL Projects! Edition of 10 only for CHF 475.- Order now!

Glassworks Reversed, 2010
Vinyl Record LP 33 rpm
31 x 31 cm
Edition of 10

Here is the new edition entitled Glassworks Reversed by Zurich based artist, Tobias Spichtig. The infamous 1982 release, Glassworks by Phillip Glass, a subtle and most beautifully repetitive piece of modern classical music is recorded backwards, encased in a mirrored silkscreened LP-cover. Only when actively listened to it, will the audience hear the miscarriage of tone and rythm. A subtle play and homage simultaneously.

Exhibition with Zürcher

SWEET OCCUPATION     Silvie Zürcher 
On show from 28 November 2009 – 31 January 2010 @ SAL Projects

I am the lizard king
I can do anything
We came down from Phoenix enthralled
And I can tell you
The names of the Kingdom
I can tell you

Listening for a fistfull of silence
Climbing valleys into the shade
And I lied my head in shame
You gonna remember my name
I wasn't born to follow
I am only made out of flesh bones and blood

And a new day will dawn
I am no ones son

All the tired horses in the sun
Our shadows taller than our soul.
But they just cant kill the beast
Outside in the distance a wildcat did growl
And a new day will dawn
Im no ones son

I want more

You wont get what you deserve
You are what you take
there ain't no easy way out
and I need all the love i can get
And the wind wispered in my ears
I am thougher than the rest
Tell the gossipers and liars
I will see them in the fire
And like a eagle I will rise
Spread my wings and fly
I hung my head and stole away

I never wanna die

Exhibition with Spichtig

Tobias Spichtig - Di Stijlled
On show from 11 June – 11 August 2009 @ SAL Projects

„5. Irrational thoughts should be followed absolutely and logically.“ (Sol LeWitt)

What about all the great ideas conceived on a good night out drinking which when written down look shitty and embarrassing the next day. Most of the ideas never leave the artist’s mind because of too much sleep and hang-over. Finally aspirin lets them dissolve, mostly for good reasons. This is not the case for the work being described here.  Film-reels that are dropped into a  glass of schnapps before going to bed and developed without being exposed to light reveal abstracts from outer space.

This is an example of how Tobias Spichtig’s working process could look like. The young Zurich based artist works with any medium available to him. His succinct approach to wildly spread references and ideologically charged icons, generates models of thought that reassemble common strategies and categorizations. Thus reaching out for a post-conceptual position which implies and constantly redefines its own logic in an uniquely radical way.

Editions with Guyton

Wade Guyton (b. 1973)

25 September – 2 October 2007

Lithograph, 2007

Print: Thomi Wolfensberger, J.E. Wolfensberger AG

Edition 35 + 5 AP

108 x 68 cm

Price: CHF 2'000.- Available through the webshop of http://www.hauskonstruktiv.ch

  

This print project with Wade Guyton was the joint brainchild of Dorothea Strauss, Haus Konstruktiv, Kathrin Beer, Christie's and Samuel Leuenberger. The artist, resident in New York, was invited by Haus Konstruktiv, in collaboration with CHRISTIE’S Zurich, to take a first dive into the "world of analogue print". The project resulted in his first lithographic work, which he produced in collaboration with renowned Zurich printer Thomi Wolfensberger. For Wade Guyton, the project represents both an attractive challenge and an exciting experiment which connects the potential of traditional stone printing techniques with Guyton's interest in portraying the world from a contemporary perspective.

Exhibition with Weber

BA Degree show by Nina Weber (b. 1980)

5 June 2007 – 5 December 2007

Well, it wasn't exactly a BA show but we did ask to exhibit Nina Weber's final degree show piece in our house, after she decided to throw it away...which needless to say would have been a shame. We decided to move our bed into a corner and make room for this tableaux vivante instead. And thus it became alive a second time in our bedroom and started what was to become a semi regular exhibition program.

Thx Nina for that!
