the mind is natively vice is Sarah Kürten’s first solo show in Italy. The exhibition presents a series of new works alongside a selection of risograph prints which she realised during her residency at BASIS Vinschgau Venosta in 2022 in Schlanders. In her new works the artist combines collage re-constructions of images and written poetry to investigate the representation of the female body as it is depicted on online reselling platforms. Parallel to the exhibition duration, a site-specific artwork titled A Poem (splendid inhabitants of a splendid world, but...), 2023 will be installed on the facade of BASIS Vinschgau Venosta to increase awareness of the institution's importance and its precarious situation.
