One Another – Kara Springer in Dialogue with the Collection of Fotomuseum Winterthur
Springer – a Canadian artist with Caribbean roots (she was born in Barbados in 1980) – works with photography, sculpture and site-specific installations to explore architecture and urban infrastructure as well as the power structures they mirror. She is also interested in human interventions in nature and the influence that nature has on us in return, reflecting on how these forces interact with one another.
The museum’s new exhibition format, One Another, is conceived as a series and seeks to energise the collection through a process of close collaboration with contemporary artists. Springer’s show is the first in the series – and her first exhibition in a Swiss institution. The collaboration thus presents an opportunity for visitors to encounter Springer’s diverse oeuvre while (re)discovering the museum’s own collection.
