Thomas Eggerer in conversation with Jacob van Ruisdael and Pieter Saenredam
Thomas Eggerer's painting technique is not aimed at an ideal beauty or aesthetics. Neither is painting for him a spontaneous eruption of feelings or emotions. His paintings rather testify to an intellectual layeredness and are reasoned out in great detail. In each painting Eggerer (Munich, 1963) seeks out the small margin in which (painterly) feeling and (organized) intellect meet each other and gain a balance.

Dirk Skreber "Blutgeschwindigkeit Blood Speed" Museum Franz Gertsch, Burgdorf Switzerland – July 4 - October 26, 2008
Whether car crashes, aeroplane disasters, tornados or other catastrophes – Dirk Skreber's painting bewilders and fascinates one at the same time: his landscapes, empty of people and giving the impression of staged still-lifes, are grotesque and haunting. He works using photographic paradigms from newspapers or the internet and seduces the viewer with the alienation of familiar motifs taken from everyday life.

Tobias Rehberger "The Chicken-and-Egg-No-Problem Wall Painting" Museum Ludwig, Cologne, Germany – June 27 - September 21, 2008
With this installation, originally devised for the Stedelijk Museum CS in Amsterdam and now redeveloped for Museum Ludwig, Tobias Rehberger transposes three dimension into two. By combining this play of light with painting for the creation of his mural, he keeps the dependency between the objects in space and what is depicted on the wall – for if the lights went out the mural would more or less disappear.

The Fondation Beyeler is presenting a project by the New York artist Sarah Morris (*1967) in its lower-level exhibition spaces.

The work is supplemented by selected paintings from her series "Capital" and "Rings," begun in 2001 and 2006. In addition, the Fondation plans a program of Morris's films on New York, Washington, D.C., and Los Angeles.
