Rivane Neuenschwander features in 'On the Street'

On the Street spotlights how artists have explored public space through investigation and appropriation, opening up new spaces of meaning. Performative and situational works allow the museum's public space to be experienced in a radically different way.

Since the 1960s, artists have been consciously breaking away from the concept of the white cube gallery space. Abandoning the protected institutional setting, they take to the street - be it as a site for radical and poetic actions or as a source of inspiration for their work. Redrawing the boundaries of art, this stance has also redefined the relationship between private and public space. The exhibition takes a closer look at the diverse relationships between art, public space, museum practice and life.

Exhibiting artists include Rivane Neuenschwander, Joseph Beuys, Guy Debord, Klara Lidén, Martina Morger, Adrian Piper, Agnès Varda and Woody Vasulka.
