The jubilee show at Art Market Budapest 2019
In 2019 a-space Gallery Switzerland is represented for the fifth time at Art Market Budapest. On the occasion of this anniversary, a-space Gallery is showing works by 10 international artists from Switzerland, Germany, Hungary, Australia and Taiwan. In this large group exhibition, a selection of works will be presented that inspire visitors with innovative techniques and clear aesthetic languages.
The spectrum of works ranges from painting and drawing to photography, sculpture and installations. Besides established artists like the Swiss painter Steph Hermes this year young talents such as the Hungarian Fanni Bacskai will be shown. For those who like paradoxes and absurdities, Martin Gut is the right choice, while lovers of figurative art should take a closer look at the works of Laura Badertscher and Joey Schmidt-Muller. The works of Tyrone Richards deal with technological and scientific themes, while the Taiwanese artist Wei-Yun Chang sees herself more as a multidisciplinary visual storyteller. Fabian Bürgy and Megan Rodgers work sculpturally, while the Zurich photographer Bruno Alder captures spaces with his camera. This year the founder of the a-space Gallery, Roy Andres Hofer, is showing a part of his „too big to fail“-Art Basel objects. A special anniversary selection of a-space Gallery are this year‘s artists Michael Cheung from Hong Kong and Jonathan Ouisse from Hungary. Their work is highly inspired by todays media influences.
The exhibition is curated by Jasmin Glaab, a freelance curator and art mediator from Switzerland and Roy Hofer, founder of a-space Gallery.

campbasel revisited
is temporary space for the arts, wherever we decide it will be. Depending on your social perspective, we create situations of parasitism or symbiosys. Holzpark-Klybeck is our platform, where both,chaos and order have room to encounter. Value lies in perception, we might just get souvenirs. Time limit, interest and basic infrastructure are the set of rules to allow art to happen. In the end CAMPBASEL resets the location … we’re Swiss, can’t help it. Come keen!

The curators Roy Hofer, Jasmin Glaab and Kohei Kanomata presenting the works embedded in a homely environment that invites to stay.

Into the deep woods
In collaboration with PAPER in Manchester, a-space in Switzerland presents Into the Deep Woods. Drawing inspiration from the interpretation of the forest as the unconscious, 10 artists and a poet have responded to this notion, creating within their works a narrative construct to explore the theory of the forest as a psychological space. The forest signifies the realm of the imagination, which, according to Lacan, is the psychic place, or phase, where the child projects its ideas of self in order to develop its own identity, sexuality, and gendered self. A recurrent theme in fairytales is the protagonist entering the forest. Through the ensuing narrative and their chilling encounters, they inevitably gain a sense of the changes in their lives, particularly from child to adult, and also a sense of morality. https://paper-gallery.co.uk/into-the-deep-woods

A. A LOCATION that is inusable industrial wasteland, owned by a company being inable to get sufficiant funding to proceed with their project. Ah, yeah and they use police-force to keep people away => Why not try to use this land in the name of art?
B. An IDEA copied from the occupy movement => Except for we do not let this end up in stupid infinity. All traces will be gone by JUNE 18th 2012, 8 pm (except for memories and souvenirs).
C. TENTS have given shelter to both spectacle and lovers => But we are neither a circus, nor wankers, we just need some space to group.
D. ART because it is ON => Yippie-aye-yeah!
E. CAMP DAVID as a retreat-area for Presidents => Except for CAMPBASEL is the retreat platform from our sisterfair EUROSATORY in Paris. 😉
