This month and next, a series of exhibitions celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Swiss artist Jean Tinguely, a key figure in kinetic and auto-destructive art. Roland Wetzel, director of the Tinguely Museum in Basel, discusses Tinguely's life and ongoing exhibitions commemorating his impact. In parallel, the Fenix museum about migration has opened in Rotterdam, featuring a striking design. Also featured is Ben Shahn, an immigrant artist with a significant exhibition at the Jewish Museum in New York, known for his mural that reflected the Social Security Act's benefits.
The exhibitions honoring Jean Tinguely's centenary showcase his pioneering contributions to kinetic art and explore the legacy of auto-destructive art.
Conversations with museum directors reveal a shared commitment to celebrating artistic legacies, crucial in both Tinguely's and Shahn's narratives.
