Works from the Kunstmuseum Bern Collection
Homage to Herbert Distel
To celebrate Bern artist Herbert Distel’s 70th birthday (b. 1942), the Kunstmuseum Bern is putting together a small homage in a gallery-sized exhibition. In it we plan to give a concentrated overview of his art with works from the collection representing various phases in the artist's creative development.
As a painter, filmmaker, video artist and composer, sculptor, installation and concept artist, Bern artist Herbert Distel (b. 1942) plays a pivotal role in experimentation with and addressing artistic media in his work.
Besides sculptural works made out of polyester (1965 – 1970) from his early work, we will be showing the project Canaris (1970) as well as photographic works from the 1990s and films.
