The oeuvre of Swiss artist Mirko Baselgia, born 1982, has been carefully selected, using a combination of different materials. With references to architecture, (art) history, and classical music, his sculptural works symbolise, both in form and substance, the relationship between the individual and the environment; while additionally reflecting current sociopolitical issues. Mirko Baselgia ranks among the top most promising young artists in Switzerland. He has recently been awarded the renowned Kiefer-Hablitzel Prize and the Manor Art Award Chur, and the Bundner Kunstmuseum Chur staged Baselgia's first solo museum exhibition in spring 2013. This first monograph presents a range of his work, further illustrated by a conversation between the artist, and curator Stephan Kunz. Text in English and German. AUTHOR: Stephan Kunz,art historian, has been a curator at the Aargauer Kunsthaus, Aarau 1988 2011. He has been appointed director of the Bundner Kunstmuseum Chur in 2011. 56 colour illustrations
