Sven Sachsalber
Capturing an Artistic Practice: A Research Project by Museion
Press Preview and Opening:
Friday, 5 December, 11:00 AM
Museion – Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Bolzano
Museion presents an exhibition on Sven Sachsalber (1987–2020), the result of a multi-year research project carried out in collaboration with BAU – Institute for Contemporary Art and Ecology and the artist’s family, funded by the German Cultural Office of the Autonomous Province of Bolzano – South Tyrol.
The exhibition explores Sachsalber’s career and works, known for videos, books, paintings, and poetic, subtly ironic performances. Archive materials, documents, interviews, and digitized works are organized into six thematic sections: art, body, time, books, home, friendship, offering new perspectives on his artistic thinking and practice.
One original work will be on display: Max and Moritz (2019), a series of drawings created in collaboration with Raymond Pettibon.
An interactive timeline and digital catalog allow visitors to explore over 350 digitized works and materials online.
Within the exhibition, Othmar Prenner, artist and mentor to Sachsalber, created a limited graphic edition, available at the Museion bookshop.
The exhibition and its accompanying publication offer moments of reflection and exploration, keeping Sven Sachsalber’s legacy alive while fostering new perspectives and international connections.
