Bordermeetings: Between the Lines

Swiss artist Anna Grichting Solder presents a multidisciplinary investigation of borders as liminal, ecological and mnemonic zones.
Combining architectural drawings, models, palimpsest chess sets, videos, sound compositions, publications and archival material, the exhibition maps how social, cultural and ecological forces intersect across divided territories. Drawing on research in Berlin, Belfast, Nicosia, Korea and the Balkans, Grichting proposes borders as sites for healing, transboundary environmental initiatives and participatory design, and evokes how memory and imagination reconfigure contested landscapes.

Paintings, sculptures and installations are layered and superimposed to prompt new readings of the collection and to foreground process, chance and visual play.
