Twilight. Neither perception nor non-perception. Kunsthalle Bern, Bern
Ivana Franke’s first solo exhibition in Switzerland provides a moment to recalibrate our habitual ways of seeing and being in the world, opening apertures to other viewpoints. Franke is known for her site-responsive works which question the thresholds of our perception by creating a connection between the viewer’s consciousness and the environment. Her multi-disciplinary work draws on neuroscience, mathematics, optics and architecture, pointing to a wider understanding of artistic practice and its relevance to other disciplines, as well as to the validity of entangled practices.

Ivana Franke’s first solo exhibition in Switzerland provides a moment to recalibrate our habitual ways of seeing and being in the world, opening apertures to other viewpoints. Franke is known for her site-responsive works which question the thresholds of our perception by creating a connection between the viewer’s consciousness and the environment. Her multi-disciplinary work draws on neuroscience, mathematics, optics and architecture, pointing to a wider understanding of artistic practice and its relevance to other disciplines, as well as to the validity of entangled practices.
