Anri Sala

As with many of Anri Sala’s works, time is the fundamental subject of the six images featuring on the KUB Billboards. Originating from an artistic correspondence with the curator Hans Ulrich Obrist, Sala imposes time in the form of fragmented clock faces onto iPhone images taken from the window of a plane. The series not only juxtaposes the seemingly quick snapshot with a fine, almost painterly treatment of the image but it pairs as well, the timeless grandeur of the wide sky with the concreteness of the perpetual ticking of the clock.

The KUB billboards located on Seestraße, the main thoroughfare in Bregenz, are an integral part of Kunsthaus Bregenz’s program, extending each KUB exhibition into public space.
