by Frances Guerin
Mircea Cantor at Kunsthaus Zürich August 28th, 2009 - November 8th, 2009
Posted 9/21/09

At the entrance to the Zurich Kunsthaus, in their temporary exhibition space is a compelling exhibition by Romanian artist, Mircea Cantor, Tracking Happiness. Despite Mircea being a man, everything about the works in Tracking Happiness spoke to me as the art of a woman might: sweeping, organizing the domestic space, protecting children, cooking.
