Exhibition Lang/Baumann

The Valais Art Museum is delighted to welcome the artist duo Lang/Baumann for the first time. From September 21, 2024 to March 30, 2025, the Valais Art Museum will present "Lang/Baumann" at the Ancienne Chancellerie exhibition center in Sion.

Sabina Lang (*1972) and Daniel Baumann (*1967) have been working together under the name Lang/Baumann since 1990. Their artistic strategies come from different areas and they often draw inspiration from aesthetics of the past. Their works reinvent our relationship to a particular architecture by allowing us to look at it from new perspectives.

For the Ancienne Chancellerie, built in 1779, Lang/Baumann designed three installations, each of which occupies an entire floor without touching the historic walls of the newly renovated building. The two artists took into account the special features of the location and responded to it with their own means: With the help of different materials and shapes, with transparency and bold colors as well as exploring and transcending the boundaries of the space, they exemplify the three floors in very different ways. Each of these interventions redefines the volumes, plays with our perception and physical experience of the space and confronts this historic building with a contemporary vocabulary.

Curator : Laurence Schmidlin, Director of the Kunstmuseum Wallis
