John Wood & Paul Harrison "Love Songs for Desperados"

We are happy to announce our three parallel exhibitions in Basel: John Wood & Paul Harrison with "Love Songs for Desperados," Erin Shirreff with "Table Muse" and
"Exploring the Archive: Interacting Colors"

For their solo exhibition, "Love Songs for Desperados," John Wood (b. 1969) and Paul Harrison (b. 1966) present several new oil paintings. One of them, "some painted books," is their largest to date, painted on 24 panels depicting 690 book spines and titles. Complementing this fictional library and underlining their witty approach to the everyday are new sculptures and neons, making viewers ponder the power of art in daily life.

👉🏻🍀❤️‍🔥Extended Opening Hours during Kunsttage Basel
Fri/Sat, August 29/30, 2025, 11 am–6 pm; Sun, August 31, 2025, 11 am–4 pm
