Dexter Dalwood: solo exhibition accompanied by illustrated catalogue

This solo exhibition at the Kunsthaus CentrePasquArt museum comprised 34 paintings and 1 video work and was the first exhibition of Dalwood’s work in Switzerland. The video work ‘1800’ had not previously been exhibited alongside the paintings, and was its first showing outside London or New York. The exhibition, funded by Foundation Centre PasquArt, was an extended, updated survey and included 14 new paintings made between 2010-2013, and included a significant new work Robert Walser (2012). In recognition of this, the Robert Walser Institute performed a new translation of a Robert Walser play The Pond, performed in English and Swiss German in the gallery on the opening night.

Felicity Lunn, Director and Curator at Centre PasquArt, stated that ‘On the flat, painted surface Dalwood creates a breathtaking pluralism that refracts and collides the memory of the past with future recollections of the present.’

During the course of the exhibition there was an Artist Talk with Felicity Lunn, and Filmpodium, a screening of films specially selected by Dalwood to be viewed in conjunction with the work. A fully illustrated 80-page catalogue, published by Verlag für Moderne Kunst Nürnberg accompanied the exhibition, with a foreword by Felicity Lunn, Director of Kunsthaus Centre PasquArt and essay by Michael Archer (in English, German and French, ISBN: 978-3-86984-426-8).

In 2012, the painting De Gaulle’s Moment (2003) included in this exhibition was purchased by FRAC Champagne-Ardenne with assistance from Charles de Gaulle Memorial Colombey-les-Deux-Eglises and subsequently exhibited in Le Serment de Résistance (2012) at Museum Memorial Charles de Gaulle, in Colombey-Les-Deux-Eglises, France.
