Discover the Erin Shirreff Contemporary Art Exhibition at von Bartha Basel

In 'Table Muse,' Canadian artist Erin Shirreff presents a collection of recent works that explore modes of attention and the contemplative power of art. The exhibition features a series of interrelated sculptures and images that invite visitors to engage in a slow, deep process of looking.

In 'Table Muse,' Erin Shirreff returns to Basel with a thoughtfully curated body of work that spans sculpture, photography, and video. Shirreff’s practice is deeply rooted in the studio, where she engages in the transformation of materials between two and three dimensions, as well as the transition between analog and digital realms. These recent works, while visually varied, are unified by their shared monumentality and a contemplative, durational quality that defines her approach to art-making. The exhibition invites viewers to consider the rare potential of the gallery space as a site for focused, scriptless thought. Through her process of scanning, layering, and remixing, Shirreff creates installations that challenge the audience to look—and look again—at the objects before them. By positioning art as an object of contemplation, the artist explores the uncertain but rewarding moments that arise during an aesthetic encounter, encouraging visitors to slow down and immerse themselves in the quiet intensity of the works on display.
