Fondation Beyeler's 'Resonating Spaces' Falls Flat
The Fondation Beyeler in Riehen, Basel, presents 'Resonating Spaces,' a group show curated by Theodora Vischer featuring five female artists: Leonor Antunes, Silvia Bächli, Toba Khedoori, Susan Philipsz, and Rachel Whiteread. The exhibition, running until January 26, 2020, aims to highlight hidden aspects of each artist's work rather than exploring the concept of space itself. However, the show is criticized as cold, forcedly conceptual, and lacking soul, with each artist given separate rooms rather than a cohesive dialogue. Upcoming exhibitions include Edward Hopper (opening January 26, 2020) and a major Francisco Goya show (starting May 16, 2020).
