Philipp Gasser had his art education in Basel and participated numerous times in video festivals and exhibitions at home and abroad. His works were seen, inter alia, at the exhibition ÒReprocessing RealityÓ in Nyon (2005) and New York (2006) or at Kunstverein Freiburg (2002). Gasser also received numerous studentsÕ and scholarsÕ grants for travel and stay abroad. His exhibition in Kunsthaus Baselland is titled, ÒCelestial BlissÓ, which could be either interpreted as Òblessings from heavenÓ, Òheavenly joy or happinessÒ or simply as Òluck that originates in the firmamentÓ. The title evokes a potential prevailing mood and a substantial red thread which is carried through the exhibition.
