In its inaugural exhibition
The Swiss Alps define the image of the Swiss Confederation around the globe, yet this outside perspective is often saturated with cliches. Indeed, long-established values are increasingly dissolving, leading to an ever-greater balancing act between tradition and the here and now. This moment of varied perspectives generates ambivalence and contradictions, yet at the same time these very inconsistencies make it possible to frame and project new worldviews. What artistic means and methods are there to find forms of representation for our times and question conventions? The exhibition seeks to dissolve habits and bring to the fore the moment of transgression of established boundaries. In this context, the focus is not on the mountain as a classic visual motif but rather as a platform for the projection of ideas, visions, impressions and human feelings - hope, disappointment, as well as criticism and anger. Man - central to the development and the shaping of worldviews - stands at the conceptual and dialogical core of the exhibition.
Next to works by Francis Alys, Berclaz de Sierre, Monica Bonvicini, Nicolas Faure, Noah Kalina, Walter Niedermayr, Susana Perrottet, Claire Pestaille, Pipilotti Rist, Nikki Rosato, Roman Signer, Bridget Smith, Kiki Smith, Levi van Veluw, Miwa Yanagi, and Renatus Zuercher, two world-famous video installations will be shown for the first time in Switzerland: the 5-channel projection
