StrawGold Catalogue

  • Michelle Nüssli

This catalogue was created for the exhibition StrawGold at the cultural museum in Basel. The museum exhibits a collection of cultural objects and creates new contexts through innovative combinations of different cultural elements like materials, religious or political beliefs, techniques and objects. Additionally the exhibition itself changes twice a year by alternating artists and their works. Therefore this catalogue is a reflection and addition to StrawGold by transforming various elements of the exhibition into something new. Each page creates new combinations through different patterns, forms or structures and reveals the diversity of materials by adding a raster layer to each object. Also the aspect of cultural impact and translation of one culture to the next and the important factor of inspiration throughout the exhibition is shown. We created images by translating objects and their materials like glass, plastic, fabric or metal with black acryl onto paper.
