"Re/Sculpture: The Swiss Sculpture Exhibitions in Biel" reflects on seven decades of exhibition history and explores the enduring legacy of this oldest and largest format in the country. Since its first edition in 1954, the Sculpture Exhibition has consistently attracted a national and international audience. The history of the series is told from the perspective of the visitors: How did they perceive the exhibitions? Is the artistic heritage still recognized in urban spaces? From the abstract tendencies of the 1950s to Thomas Hirschhorn's participatory project Robert Walser-Sculpture, the content of each edition has been the subject of intense debate. Art needs an audience, and the audience is shaped by art.
