Mirko Baselgia is a Swiss artist based in Alvaschein. Emerging from many years of engagement with materials and processes, his practice has increasingly shifted towards investigating the conditions through which forms arise, persist, change and disappear. Today, rather than treating an artwork as an autonomous, finished object, he understands it as a temporary configuration of material, social, spatial and temporal relations. His current practice seeks to work with what is already present and to limit intervention to what is necessary for these conditions to become perceptible. Baselgia received his MA in Fine Arts from Zurich University of the Arts in 2010. Selected solo exhibitions include Kunstmuseum Olten, Bündner Kunstmuseum Chur and Kunst(Zeug)Haus Rapperswil-Jona. His work has also been presented at the Pinakothek der Moderne in Munich, MUDAC in Lausanne and Kunsthaus Baselland. He initiated ACACA – Associaziun Center d’Art e Cultura Alvra in Alvaschein.
