Sayre Gomez in Fresh Window: The Art of Display and Display Art
4 December 2024—11 May 2025
Group exhibition at Museum Tinguely, Basel, Switzerland
For decades, there have been close links between the histories of art and shop window display. Besides Jean Tinguely, many other artists have designed pioneering window displays. Conversely, window displays frequently feature as a motif in artworks or serve as a stage for performances and actions. The exhibition explores this eventful relationship from its beginnings to the present day, while artistic interventions in shop windows in Basel extend the show into public space.
