meret oppenheim basel

A new exhibition at Hauser & Wirth's Basel location, timed to Art Basel, reexamines the legacy of Swiss artist Meret Oppenheim, 40 years after her death. The show aims to move beyond her famous 1936 work *Object (Breakfast in Fur)*, presenting the full breadth of her practice across sculpture, painting, readymades, and wearable art. Curated by Josef Helfenstein, the exhibition positions Oppenheim as a multifaceted artist who resisted the labels of Surrealist muse and pop star, highlighting her irreverent, medium-defying approach.

consuelo jimenez underwood icons 2025

Consuelo Jimenez Underwood, a textile artist born in 1949 in Sacramento, has spent decades creating works that confront the US-Mexico border. In 2009, she was invited to participate in the group exhibition “Xicana: Spiritual Reflections/Reflexiones Espirituales” at the Triton Museum of Art in Santa Clara, California. Faced with a blank museum wall, she decided to “blow up the border,” creating her first large-scale installation, *Undocumented Border Flowers* (2010), which features a red gash representing the border surrounded by paper flowers of the four border states. This work launched her ongoing “BORDERLINES” series, which she has produced some 15 times across the country, often collaborating with schoolchildren or recently incarcerated women. Her practice is deeply personal: her father was an undocumented immigrant from Mexico of Huichol ancestry, and she spent her childhood as a migrant farmworker, following harvests along Highway 99. Her first woven artwork, *C.C. Huelga* (1974), was inspired by the United Farm Workers flag and leader César Chávez.

His approach, influenced by the "sloppy craft" ethos of his mentor Josh Faught, embraces unfinished edges and visible process as acts of refusal against polished traditions.
