Exhibitions

Marie Ducaté (born in Lille in 1954, currently residing in Marseille) is a versatile artist who has been active in the art world since the 1980s. Initially a painter, she has since explored a variety of artistic media, from ceramics and glass to painting and textiles, creating a rich and diverse body of work. At the Ariane Museum, this artist vividly presents the spirit and subtleties of her studio to the world. The space thus transforms into a stage, showcasing a range of ceramics, tracing paper, watercolors, textiles, and glassware that blend elements of popular culture and art history. Her vibrant world is revealed through a series of works employing rich hues, encompassing vivid colors and even transparent textures. In the exhibition titled "Simultaneous," Marie Ducat invites us to explore the sensual beauty of materials, all stemming from her spirit of free exploration.

Maria Lassnig und Edvard Munch: Flow of Paint = Flow of Life | Museum of Art (Kunsthaus Zurich)

Oct 2, 2026–Feb 21, 2027 (UTC+1)

Zurich

Exhibitions

The works of Maria Lassiniger (born 1919 in Kapel-Amklapfeld, died 2014 in Vienna) and Edvard Munch (born 1863 in Lothen, died 1944 in Eklee near Oslo) are exhibited together for the first time in a major exhibition. At first glance, the Austrian artist and the Norwegian painter—whose collection of Munch paintings is the largest outside of Norway at the Vienna State Museums—are separated by more than half a century. However, their works and lives share striking similarities. This thematic juxtaposition allows for a fresh perspective on their work. Both artists used color not only as a design element but also as a powerful means of expressing their inner world: emotions, bodily sensations, and their relationship with the world. For Maria Lassiniger, as for Edvard Munch, painting was not merely an artistic technique, but a way of self-examination. Their works depict inner and outer states that evoke direct emotional resonance in the viewer. The exhibition's subtitle—"The Flow of Painting = The Flow of Life"—is taken from one of Maria Lassiniger's paintings. It perfectly encapsulates the essence that connects the two: life and art are inseparable. This exhibition comprises approximately 160 paintings and works on paper, and was generously supported by the Oslo MUNCH, the Maria Lassnig Foundation, the Swiss UNIQA Art Insurance Company, the Truus and Gerrit van Riemsdijk Foundation, and the Roswitha Haftmann Foundation.

Memory: Moments to Remember and Forget | Basel

Jan 1, 2024–Dec 31, 2030 (UTC+1)

Basel

Exhibitions

Throughout their lives, people remember events and people that are important to them. The exhibition begins with very personal memories - recorded in poetry and photo albums or baptismal certificates. A wall-filling type case filled with souvenirs also shows that memories are often linked to things. Over 400 exhibits from the museum collection bear witness to this. They contain personal information such as births, weddings or deaths. But they also remind us of social events, wars, catastrophes, the opening of borders or independence days. Memory aids The exhibition shows how these moments are remembered - or how they are kept secret or forgotten. There are a wide variety of practices and forms involved. The similarities are also revealed. For example, memory aids to prevent forgetting are widespread all over the world. The Incas in Peru tied knots in strings to record dates and stories. And in Switzerland, people recorded on notched sticks who was allowed to use water and when. For thousands of years, great epics and holy scriptures have guaranteed that experiences and history are not forgotten. The Bible, Torah, Koran, healing scrolls from Ethiopia and healing books of the Batak from Indonesia are impressive testimonies to this. These writings were written by scholars. In the 1980s, social organizations, artists and politicians recorded events on fabrics, paintings and posters: decolonization, the end of apartheid in South Africa or grievances, violence and oppression in Latin American dictatorships. In remembrance The exhibition ends with the remembrance of the dead. In Europe, hair images, stone monuments and grave crosses commemorate the deceased. In Mexico, the dead are happily celebrated on the "Día de los Muertos". Funny skeleton ensembles dance on an exhibition podium. In Peru, however, the Matsiguenga ethnic group creates wooden guardian figures to protect against the dead.

Wars and us | Swiss National Museum

Apr 17, 2026–Jan 17, 2027 (UTC+1)

Zurich

Exhibitions

War, past and present, has been an integral and vital part of Swiss history. This exhibition brings together multiple perspectives to showcase how war has influenced Switzerland's political structure, economic interests, and social order from the late Middle Ages to the present.From the myths that built identity around the Battle of Mülten, to internal conflicts such as the Peasants' War of 1653 and the Sondnes War of 1847, and even the potential threat posed by World War II: war in all its forms has shaped Switzerland's self-perception. Whether wars occurred within or outside modern Switzerland, they gave rise to new power relations and social contradictions—for example, the accumulation of capital through the arms and mercenary trade, the exacerbation of class conflict, and the transformation of gender roles.

Le verre, au-delà de la matière. Les collections du Cirva | Ariana Museum

Apr 24, 2026–Jan 3, 2027 (UTC+1)

Geneva

Exhibitions

The exhibition, based on the collection of CIRVA (International Centre for Glass and Fine Arts) in Marseille, France, re-examines this material with its millennia-long history of use from the perspective of contemporary artists. It's not merely a display of "glassware," but rather a focus on how artists and designers experiment, research, and create new art forms using glass.

Vilhelm Hammershøi: "The Eye That Listens" | Museum of Art (Kunsthaus Zurich)

Jul 3–Oct 25, 2026 (UTC+1)

Zurich

Exhibitions

A tranquil space, soft light, and subtle alterations to the familiar: the Kunstmuseum Zurich will host Switzerland's first comprehensive museum exhibition of Wilhelm Hammershøi's work. His paintings emphasize perception, atmosphere, and the delicate tension between space and objects.Empty rooms, closed doors, figures with their backs to the viewer: Hammershøi's paintings eschew narrative. There is no action, but rather a sense of focused concentration. The space is both familiar and strange, light gently sweeping across the walls, objects presenting a serene presence.His work is characterized by the most subtle gradations of soft color. The almost imperceptible variations within recurring themes sharpen the viewer's perception, making perception itself the subject of the work.Through interaction with the international art movements of his time, Hammershøi developed a unique visual language. His similarities to James McNeill Whistler are evident in his minimalist approach and focus on formal elements. At the same time, his work exhibits a surprising modernity, comparable to artists such as Giorgio Morandi. His focus on music further expands the dimensions of his art: instruments such as the cello or piano appear in his paintings, creating a tense stillness—like the moment before the first note. In addition to his signature interior paintings, this exhibition also features his portraits, cityscapes, and landscapes, placing his work within a broader art historical context.
