Morphing

In 1999, Morphing Systems organized the exhibition project Klinik for a year in a vacant former private clinic in Zurich. 105 international and Swiss artists participated in this innovative exhibition project. Mutation and morphing were the key ideas behind the Klinik. The artists were free to alter the exterior and interior of the building. Their works were in turn expanded and transformed by other artists. Artworks became the starting point for new artworks, broadening the traditional concept of authorship. The diversity of positions in contemporary art became visible throughout this process, while the individual stances merged into a cohesive whole, creating a compelling reflection of the present. The building has since been demolished. What remains is the book Morphing, which documents the dense network of images.
