Brazilian artist Lygia Clark (1920 Belo Horizonte – 1988 Rio de Janeiro) radically redefined the concept of art and is one of the most important art practitioners in South America. One of the leading figures in the Neoconcretismo movement established in Rio de Janeiro in 1959, she encouraged a bodily experience of art that involves people in the work and makes them part of it. With installations that visitors could activate, walk through and touch, she challenged conventional notions of sculpture and expanded art into a holistic and sensual experience.
Despite the pre-eminence of Abstract Expressionism and later Pop Art, Clark was remarkably successful in asserting her unconventional ideas during Brazil’s military dictatorship from 1964 to 1985 – a time when artistic freedom was under threat. In this exhibition, the first retrospective in a German-speaking country, we celebrate her unconventional and still highly exciting historical work. She herself said: ‘For me, making art is about developing as a person, which is the most important thing of all. Art should not seek to emulate a name or any kind of concept.’ Today, in an age of digital transformation and globalization mingled with self-alienation, her oeuvre speaks more than ever to all the senses.
A retrospective in cooperation with the Neue Nationalgalerie in Berlin in collaboration with the Associação Cultural Lygia Clark in Rio de Janeiro.
The exhibition is accompanied by a separate presentation in collaboration with Museum Haus Konstruktiv, which focuses on links between Switzerland and Brazil and, in particular, the influence of the Zurich Concrete artist Max Bill on Lygia Clark and her generation, and their emancipation from him.

SUNSHINE ONUS

The Cathedral of Zurich is one of the three main churches in Zurich, Switzerland, and is designed to incorporate a variety of architectural styles such as Romanesque, post-Gothic and neo-Gothic. Its most distinctive feature is the towering twin towers, which makes it also known as the &quot;Cathedral of Zurich Twin Towers&quot;. The interior of the church is simple and reflects the style of the 16th century Reformation. The church has stained glass windows created by Swiss modern art master Giacometti, whose artistic masterpieces are painted glass. In addition, the church&#39;s underground church and the seat of the Saints are older parts of the existing history, dating back to the late 11th century and early 12th century, and still can see traces of the frescoes on the decoration.

横竖是二温小迪

On the first day of landing in Zurich, it happened to rain, so I went to visit the National Museum next to the train station. You can get free tickets with Swiss pass, and the staff also gave you a coin to send a package. The storage and toilet are on the basement floor, and small suitcases should be able to be stored.

The exhibits on the first floor of the Swiss Museum can be guided in Chinese, but there is no Chinese guide on the second floor. The exhibits are not very interesting to me, but the museum is not bad, and there are not many people, which is suitable for checking in and taking pictures. In addition, the small gadgets in the gift shop are also very cute, but the prices are not beautiful.

Suning is the Church of Our Lady. This church is a well-known local church. It covers a large area. From the outside, it is very beautiful and solemn. Sometimes it is open for business. It is a relatively sacred place to visit.

Museum of Art (Kunsthaus Zurich)

The Zurich Museum of Art is really conscience. It is free to see paintings on Wednesday and storage is free. There will be more works by well-known painters in the new museum. If there is not enough time, go directly to the new museum. Monet, Van Gogh, Reano, Picasso and other well-known painters can be seen here at close range, it is a super generous museum. I feel that Monet has a lot of paintings.
