Silvia B?chli: They've Turned Into Each Other. Which Is Which?: Cat. Kunst Museum Winterthur

Silvia B? chli (*1956) has developed her drawing oeuvre since the late 1970s in a manner that is both cautious and consistent. Her expressive approach to physicality developed over time to an almost introspective view of reality. Everyday perception forms the starting point of Siliva B? chli's artistic process during which she appropriates things to give them an autonomous form in drawing. Starting in 1984, she began combining small-format drawings into ensembles, multipart wall compositions. Since 2001 she created large-format paper works with overlapping, filigree lineaments; in recent years she has become more prudent about the relationship between the areas of color and the background. Silvia B? chli's quiet work is now appreciated all over the world and has been exhibited in Centre Pompidou in Paris (2007), the Staatliche Graphische Sammlung in Munich (2014), the Museum Weserburg in Bremen (2022), and the Centro Botin in Santander (2024). In 2009 she represented Switzerland at the 53rd Venice Biennale. The exhibition at Kunst Museum Winterthur is entitled They've Turned into Each Other. Which Is Which? after a line in a poem by American poet Elizabeth Bishop. The picture book conceived by Silvia B? chli offers a comprehensive overview of her multifaceted oeuvre, with a series of small sculptures that she is presenting in Switzerland for the first time. My work entails approaching something that I don't know well and finding out about it by doing , she said.
