How much do newspapers, headlines, and media images influence our perception of the world? And how do artists respond to them? The answers to these questions and more can be found in the exhibition HIT BY NEWS at the DOX Centre for Contemporary Art, which opens up a fascinating dialogue between art and the world of the media. The project, which is based exclusively on works from the Swiss collection of Annette and Peter Nobel, shows how the press has shaped society and visual art over the past century – from early artistic experiments with print media to reflections on today’s media practices. This exceptionally comprehensive overview of the phenomenon of press art – meaning art that deals with news, headlines, newspapers, and the very role of the media in society – will feature nearly four hundred works by an array of prominent international artists.
The exhibition is curated by renowned Swiss curator Christoph Doswald, who, in collaboration with DOX, has prepared a representative cross-section of the Nobels’ collection, which they have been building since the 1980s and contains more than two thousand works. It is one of the most important specialised collections focused on the dialogue between art and the media in an international context.
