andrea zittel and monika sosnowska
at: schaulager, basel
from: april 26 to september 21, 2008
'the exhibition is dedicated to the work of the american artist andrea zittel (b. 1965) and the polish artist
monika sosnowska (b. 1972). both artists respond to their different surroundings in terms of architecture,
living space, daily routine, and traditions – whether in new york and los angeles for zittel or in 21st-century
warsaw for sosnowska. the spaces, sculptures, objects, and drawings assemble onto the stage provided
by schaulager and form a polymorphic whole, with unexpected tableaux into which the spellbound viewers
find themselves drawn'.
the first part of our coverage from the exhibition features works by monika sosnowska:

'models of nonexistent houses placed inside a paper bag. I made them during a three month stay in japan,
where I exhibited them on the floor in a little room. the height of these models was determined by the size of the
gap between the floor and the door which opened above them . I brought the models back to poland and decided
to place them in the bag.'
