As part of The Great Pause... exhibition the Foundation supported in Summer of 2020, Swiss artist Andrea Hasler was asked to develop a new work in response to the world at an extraordinary time. A world affected by the global pandemic of the Coronavirus.

Hasler was part of our 2014 Artist Residency and is a Swiss artist based in London whose wax and mixed media sculptures are characterized by a tension between attraction and repulsion. Fascinated with the psychological aspect of the body, the artist works at the borderline of inside/outside, something that is aesthetically desirable, yet revolting and were viewer’s attraction are replaced by repulsion, power, control and impotence.
