Marie Matusz
Shift
22 November — 24 January 2026

Opening: Friday, 21 November 2025, 6-9 PM

In Shift, Matusz deepens the haptic dimension of her practice through sculptures and wall works shaped from veneer, metal, and other construction-derived composites assembled with domestic care. These new works carry traces of use and machinic authorship, forming an ambivalent space where structure meets ornament and industrial fragments open onto intimate ambiances, revealing how objects shift between what is seen and what is felt. Building on the legacies of phenomenology and brutalism, the exhibition invites viewers into a radical environment, half-theatre set, half-factory, where perception acts less as recognition than as resonance.

Marie Matusz (b.1994, France) lives and works in Basel. Her practice spans sculptural installations, sound, writing, and film, exploring the intricate relationships between materiality, memory, and narrative. Drawing from philosophical, sociological, and linguistic theories, her works evoke a cinematic unspoken sensibility—merging stillness and motion to create reflective spaces where temporal and spatial perceptions collapse on each other. Marie Matusz obtained a bachelor’s degree in Visual Arts from the Geneva University of Art & Design (HEAD) in 2016 and a master’s from the Basel Academy of Art & Design (FHNW) in 2018. Recent solo exhibitions include a solo presentation at Frieze London with Clima, London (2025); Reservoir, at Kunsthalle Basel, Basel (2025); Canons & Continents, Kunsthalle Basel, Basel (2025); Prequel, at Blue Velvet Projects, Zurich (2023); Lonely Daters, at Clima Gallery, Milan (2022); Fall, at Istituto Svizzero, Milan (2022); Vulture, Der Tank, Basel (2022).
