Latest Events in Canton of Zurich(December Updated)

Wilhelm Lehmbruck (1881 Duisburg – 1919 Berlin), one of the most important sculptors of his generation, moved to Zurich from Germany in 1916. During the First World War, the city became a meeting place for international artists. It was in this inspiring environment that Lehmbruck reached another peak of his powers: his last works in particular reveal him to be a visionary, charting out a new course with his ‘mental’ sculptures. Joining him in a visual dialogue is the contemporary Swiss artist Yves Netzhammer (b. 1970 Schaffhausen), whose drawings, spatial installations and computer-generated video films are a captivating blend of corporeal appearance and pictorial narrative. Netzhammer will conceive the overall spatial design of the exhibition and develop new works in resonance with Lehmbruck. The exhibition is a cooperation with the Kunstmuseum Moritzburg in Halle (Saale), in collaboration with the Lehmbruck Museum, Duisburg.

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.

We are looking forward to welcoming you at the annaul Neujahrsmarathon Zurich. Last year’s innovation, the common start of all categories (except kids-marathon) at midnight, was a complete success. Hence we will keep this concept for the forthcoming editions. With this concept, the marathon runners can decide during the race whether they would like to run the full marathon or rather the half or quarter marathon.However, some fine-tuning and optimization will be done this year. In order to mitigate the bottleneck on the first meters of the course, we will introduce net times in the ranking list, which should be a sign for increased patience at the start of the race and hence automatically give more space to each single runner.The Neujahrsmarathon Zürich (New Year’s Marathon Zurich) is a marathon race held on January 1 each year, since 2005.The start takes place at midnight, exactly at the beginning of the New Year. Start and finish are located in Schlieren near Zurich in Switzerland. The track consists of four laps along the river Limmat. Besides the marathon, there are also a half marathon (two laps), a 10 kilometer run (one lap) as well as a marathon relay. The start of the marathon and the finish area of all races are located inside a sports hall. The participants run through the sports hall after each lap.

The Zurich Marathon is popular both with pro athletes and amateurs and provides a unique running experience in and around Zurich. The route runs for the most part along Lake Zurich and consequently is not only attractive as a sports event, but also visually. The start and finish lines are at the upper lake basin and go through downtown Zurich, which provides an impressive backdrop for spectators. In addition to the marathon, there is also a half-marathon, and a city run (10k). Enjoy the fast course through the beautiful city of Zurich and along the unique Lake Zurich.

Accessories have always been more than mere decoration: hats, scarves, gloves, bags and shoes reflect social, political and religious affiliation, denote power and status, protect and give form to the body, or represent the latest fashions. The exhibition features items from the Swiss National Museum collection to show how accessories are shaped by social change. From the strict dress codes of the early modern period to current-day trends that play with gender norms, the exhibition takes a look at fashion history from head to toe.

These rare and never-before-seen works on display showcase Heilmann’s talent for distilling complex images and ideas into deceptively simple geometric shapes and abstract, gestural symbols. The Zurich exhibition follows “Daydreamland,” an exhibition of works on paper that opened at Hauser & Wirth New York last year and explored how drawing functions as a form of daydreaming in Heilmann’s creative process—conjuring sights, sounds, and events from past travels or imagined futures.
