Richard Serra

Description:

The show presents sixteen films and videos Richard Serra made between 1968 and 1979. All works will be screened in the original formats. Richard Serra: Films and Videotapes is the first exhibition to offer such a comprehensive survey of Serra's entire output on film: although art theorists regard these works as a vital component of his oeuvre, they have rarely been shown as a cohesive ensemble - perhaps in part because it is difficult to screen 16 mm footage in constant quality over an extended period of time. We at the Kunstmuseum Basel believe it is important to provide a stage to the moving image in Serra,s oeuvre. Exhibition: Kunstmuseum Basel, Switzerland (20.05.-15.10.2017).
