Zoe Leonard

Kunsthalle Basel and Kunsthalle Glarus
Basel and Glarus, Switzerland
May 4–June 18

Zoe Leonard’s work has enjoyed little exposure on the continent since her memorable installation at the last Documenta. This two-part exhibition should bring European viewers up to date. In Basel, Leonard presents a large group of her fruit-peel sculptures and a selection of recent photographs; in Glarus, she shows a mix of older and newer photographs, including “The Fae Richards Photo Archive,” used in Cheryl Dunye’s recent film The Watermelon Woman. Kunsthalle Basel is publishing an artist’s book on the occasion of the show, while Kunsthaus Glarus is putting out a “pin-up” calendar designed by Leonard. Kunsthalle Basel, May 4-June 18; Kunsthaus Glarus, May 4-June 15
