Author: Panizzi, TabeaSince the late 19th century, the shop window has shaped the urban landscape, mediating between the promises of consumer goods and the desires of passers-by. T he exhibition 'Fresh Window' at the Museum Tinguely explores the window as a membrane between public space and hidden desire. Works by artists like Jean Tinguely, Andy Warhol and Marina Abramovic (and more) reveal how the boundary between consumer culture and artistic experimentation is continually renegotiated.Artists include: Berenice Abbott, Marina Abramovic, Eugène Atget, Christo, Gregory Crewdson, Marcel Duchamp, Elmgreen & Dragset, Richard Estes, Sayre Gomez, Jasper Johns, Robert Rauschenberg, Martha Rosler, Tschabalala Self, Jean Tinguely, Andy Warhol.Many artists not only earned a living through window displays but also used this setting as a testing ground to experiment with new practices.
