​Galerie Greta Meert is pleased to present 76 Frames, an exhibition that arises from Iñaki Bonillas's ongoing research on the relationship between photography and cinema.
The artist sees cinema as an infinite archive of still photographs, which can be used in equally endless ways. This time, Bonillas focused on moments that in a movie would be almost imperceptible but, if stopped in time, take on an entirely different perspective. The still images show objects as if they were actors immersed in the adventure of changing shape, of thinking, of falling, of breaking into a thousand pieces. A sense of suspense is created as the images mark the passage from one place to another, where the final act is postponed, and tension arises.

Zürich will be Terry Adkin's first solo exhibition at Galerie Greta Meert, showcasing a selection of his sculptural work from the late 1980s.

Throughout his life, Terry Adkins developed a diverse artistic practice which included sculpture, live music, spoken language, and video. Rooted in a deep appreciation for abstraction, Adkins created a bridge between the influences of modernist sculpture and the vernacular craft and musical traditions of the American South. Central to Adkins's artistic philosophy was the concept of “potential disclosure,” which he described as the process of revealing the hidden value of discarded materials. Delving into historical and industrial sites, archives, and his local community, Adkins scavenged dismissed materials crafting them into artworks of remarkable ambition.
