The mid-career retrospective of Oscar Tuazon covers the years from 2000 to the present. The focus is on his "architectural sculptures". He explores in his practice the functional aspects of sculpture and its practical value.

Tuazon sees his works as platforms for social interaction. Together with craftsmen and technicians, he erects temporary constructions that upset the normative power of institutional architecture.

For the exhibition in Winterthur, the artist is realizing an expansive wooden structure that is a sculpture, model house, meeting place and event forum all in one. By going beyond the limits of the room, it creates a new, incomparably more informal space for encounter and art.

The exhibition is produced in collaboration with Bergen Kunsthall (January 27 — April 9, 2023) and Kunsthalle Bielefeld (August 19 — November 12, 2023). A comprehensive monograph on the artist’s work will be jointly published by DoPe Press.
