Wonder Cures (2023)
Poster and pamphlet by Erin Mallon; video and sound by Tuomas Ollikainen
Salon du Lapin, Ausstellungsraum Klingental, Basel, CH |
By way of text, sound, original and scavenged imagery, the artists investigate the story of Bas Jan Aders’ famous failed attempt to cross the Atlantic in the year 1975. In a liminal space within a space, voices bounce between transcendence and submersion, insight and delusion. On a search for knowledge, what kinds of stories are we prepared to swallow hook, line and sinker, and where do they go when we do? How do they sound when we spit them back out?
