Marie Matusz (*1994) regularly establishes polarities in her artistic practice, placing vulnerability and resilience in productive tension. The Toulouse-born, Basel-based artist extends these concerns as she presents her first monumental, site-specific project for public space, spanning the back wall of Kunsthalle Basel.
