Monster Chetwynd (b. 1973 London, lives and works in Zurich), also previously known under the names Lali, Spartacus and Marvin Gaye Chetwynd, shot to international fame in the 2000s with her excuberant performances that recall medieval mystery plays and carnival theatre and draw on themes from both art history and popular culture. In 2012, she became the first performance artist to be nominated for the prestigious Turner Prize and is today one of the leading figures working in the field of contemporary performance. However, Chetwynd’s artistic production is much broader, encompassing disciplines including painting, sculpture, installations and films. Her artistic practice draws on a vast range of cultural sources and combines them into something new. Humour, curiosity and collaboration are key. The exhibition, created in collaboration with curator Raphael Gygax, offers the first comprehensive overview of Chetwynd’s work in Switzerland. More than 60 pieces from the last 25 years will be combined with an immersive exhibition architecture.

The Kunsthaus Zürich presents a diverse exhibition programme that unites opposites and opens up innovative ways of viewing art. The focus is on surprising moments that invite visitors to rethink boundaries and open up new worlds of perception. This year's outstanding artists include Roman Signer, known for his spectacular installations, Monster Chetwynd, whose provocative works challenge traditional art forms, and Refik Anadol, a pioneer of AI-supported art. These and other globally unique projects offer fresh perspectives and unforgettable experiences that go beyond traditional exhibition formats. From the iconic Dada movement to cutting-edge digital art, from intimate to large-scale works, the coming year promises an inspiring journey through time, space and media at Kunsthaus Zürich.

This exhibition will focus on the textile works of American artist Sheila Hicks, Swiss artist Elsi Giauque and others, ranging from plain and simple fabrics to fancy and colorful tassels, from two-dimensional geometric pattern weaving to free-form products in three-dimensional space, striving to present the creativity of the artists and the unique appeal they give to their works.

The Kunsthaus Zürich shows the fascinating world of Roman Signer. The large exhibition gallery will be transformed into an open artistic landscape where playful energy and a deep sense of wonder about nature come together.

Suzanne Duchamp (1889 Blainville-Crevon – 1963 Neuilly-sur-Seine) left behind a dazzling body of work that has found its way into some of the world’s most famous collections but is still known only to specialists. The sister of Marcel Duchamp, Raymond Duchamp-Villon and Jacques Villon, she was in the vanguard of her times and influenced art history as an exceptional Dada artist. Duchamp’s visual idiom is subtle, delicate, cryptic, humorous and aesthetically appealing. The last large exhibition devoted to her work was in 1983 at the Centre Pompidou in Paris and was also presented at Kunsthalle Bern in a show entitled ‘Tabu Dada’. In collaboration with guest curator Talia Kwartler, the Kunsthaus stages the first retrospective in honour of a multifaceted artist who has for so long remained in her brother’s shadow. Zurich, the birthplace of the Dada Movement, seems the ideal place to highlight Duchamp’s adventurous spirit. Many of the approximately 60 works on display are being shown in public for the first time.

This year, there are once again fascinating new additions to discover at the Beyer Clock and Watch Museum!

You can look forward to classics from IWC, Patek Philippe, Chaumet and Ulysse Nardin, the finest enamel painting and technological rarities. A highlight of the exhibition is a unique pendant watch in the form of an apple – intricately enamelled, romantic, playful and around 200 years old. Whether motorsport icon or miniature work of art: the diversity of this collection will delight collectors, technology enthusiasts and design fans alike. Pay us a visit and let yourself be enchanted by the magic of time!

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.

The Collection of Prints and Drawings at the Kunsthaus is a true treasure trove, hardly known to its visitors. In 2025 we highlight a selection of remarkable works from the extensive holdings of prints. Printing is far more than simply a reproductive medium. The use of printer’s ink and the play of line and surface invariably also bring unique qualities to the fore. Our selection comprises artists whose works literally ‘made an impression’ on generations that followed, by setting standards in the technique of printmaking: figures from Dürer to Munch and Kollwitz, and from Rembrandt and Goya to Roth. While this ‘tour d’horizon’ also covers all formats, from XS to XL, we deliberately avoid a hierarchical categorization of works according to size. The fact is that quite often, a print’s appeal only becomes evident when you zoom in on the minute details.

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.

Rockenschaub has been transforming spaces with minimalist multimedia installations for around forty years. With constantly changing shapes, colours, sizes, materials and technologies – sometimes abstract, sometimes simplified figurative, but always with radical reduction and laconic smoothness – his installations create visual sounds and rhythms that relate to the architecture in question, setting it in tension and vibration like a musical composition. Rockenschaub, who has also worked as a techno DJ, composes his art like musical tracks: empty spaces correspond to pauses, settings create sounds and beats. For this new exhibition, the artist has produced rectangular, monochrome lacquered MDF panels of varying colour and size, which he positions above and below a continuous horizontal line on the walls of the exhibition space. In this way he organizes the space and creates a pulsating atmosphere that feels like a soundscape – stimulating visually, physically and emotionally. The idea of painting evoked by the coloured MDF panels is completely removed: In their pointed interplay, the objects experience an enormous expansion and completely transform their surroundings. Instead of looking at pictures, we experience the whole space as a picture. Rockenschaub never thinks in terms of individual works. Each object has a specific function within the overall context of an exhibition. The precise placement of the elements in dialogue with the architecture is crucial to creating dynamism. Although the artist designs his installations precisely on the computer in advance, the final steps are ultimately spontaneous and playful. Despite their edgy coolness, playfulness and subtle humour are the parameters within which Rockenschaub’s works unfold their energy. This is precisely what his work, which emerged in the 1980s in the context of the Neo Geo movement, is all about: using radically reduced means to achieve powerful atmospheric effects that appeal to all the senses. In contrast to classical minimal or conceptual art, he creates a mixture of pop and primary structures that recall traditional genres of art history as well as our thoroughly designed everyday life. Rockenschaub nonchalantly disrupts both – and ends up somewhere between fun, funky and frivolous: with an art that defies any art historical categorization. Gesine Borcherdt Gerwald Rockenschaub was born in 1952 in Linz, Austria. He works and lives in Berlin, Germany. His most recent solo-exhibitions took place in museums such as Belvedere 21, Vienna, AT (2022-2023); Schlossmuseum Linz, Linz, AT (2023), Sammlung Goetz, Munich, DE (2017); Kunstmuseum St. Gallen, CH (2016); Neuer Berliner Kunstverein, Berlin, DE (2016); and The M Building, Miami, FL, US (2014). In 1993 he represented Austria together with Andrea Fraser and Christian Philipp Müller at the 45th Biennale of Venice. Group-shows in major museums include: Faking the Real, Kunsthaus Graz, AT (2022); Wände | Walls, Kunstmuseum Stuttgart, DE (2020); Abstract painting now!, Kunsthalle Krems, Krems an der Donau, AT (2017); Painting 2.0. Malerei im Informationszeitalter, MUMOK Museum Moderner Kunst Stiftung Ludwig Wien, Vienna, AT (2016); Unlimited, Art Basel, Basel, CH (2015); Künstler und Dichter, Secession, Vienna, AT (2015, curated by Ugo Rondinone); and Decorum Carpets & tapestries by artists, Power Station of Art, Shanghai, CN (2014).

Atelier Bossard in Lucerne was one of Switzerland’s most renowned goldsmith’s workshops in the 19th century. Splendid trophies, silverware and jewellery were produced under the leadership of company founder Johann Karl Bossard (1846-1914). The staff not only created their own designs but also crafted exact copies of historical objects from the Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque periods. Craftsmanship had recovered its appeal as people pushed back against industrial mass production. A visit to Bossard’s and the purchase of a prestige item were de rigueur for wealthy noble families and rich industrialists in the booming tourist city of Lucerne. In 2013, the contents of the goldsmith’s workshop were added to the collection at the Swiss National Museum. The exhibition in the National Museum Zurich’s Hall of Fame displays designs, models and historical photos in addition to the workshop’s most beautiful pieces, reviving Bossard’s former brilliance.

We congratulate Teresa Margolles (b. 1963, in Culiacan, Sinaloa, Mexico) for her installation „Mil Veces un Instante“ („A Thousand Times in an Instant“) on Trafalgar Square's fourth plinth inaugurated today. The artwork features 726 life masks of transgender, non-binary, and gender nonconforming individuals—363 from Mexico and 363 from London. Cast in plaster, the masks, displayed inside-out in a cube, contain traces of the participants, such as makeup and facial features, and will gradually decompose over two years. This process symbolizes the transformation and visibility of these often-marginalized lives.

We present a unique exhibition that highlights the artistic and biographical parallels between the Chinese-Canadian painter Matthew Wong and Vincent van Gogh.
