Von Bartha presents an exhibition of works by Venezuelan born artist, Ricardo Alcaide. Working in an almost anthropological manner, Alcaide explores the relationship between modernism, architecture and economic precarity – often through the exploration of built environments and discarded objects. Commenting on the urban environment, through installations, wall, and floor pieces, the exhibition marks the inaugural presentation at von Bartha’s newly renovated Basel space. Find out more about the ‘Ricardo Alcaide’ exhibition from the von Bartha’s website.
