No other artistic medium has experienced so many positive as well as negative attributions as painting. It is nonetheless continually being re-interpreted, thereby revealing its endless potential. Also in Switzerland a revival of the medium has become manifest over the last few years. The exhibition (Un)certain Ground is not an overview of Swiss painting, but focuses rather on painters practising in Switzerland whose work is right now negotiating new territory.

Die Ausstellung zeigt Werke und Porträts von Personen mit einer Beziehung zu Vals und zur Lumnezia. Sie malen, zeichnen, fotografieren, formen in Ton, Metall und Holz, schneiden Papier, weben, nähen, filmen, singen, sticken, filzen, häkeln und bauen Objekte. Viele machen das eigentlich nur für sich, andere sind professionelle Künstler:innen und Handwerker:innen. Gemeinsam sind sie Teil von ovras, einer Ausstellung mit Workshops und Veranstaltungen zum kreativen Schaffen im Tal.

A Collection Exhibition on the Topic Sculpture
In the exhibition “Pedestal Stories” the Art Museum Graubünden makes sculpture the issue. The show with works from the collection documents how flexible and wide the term sculpture is today. Sculptures placed on a high pedestal are history. With the programmatic dismantling of the pedestal and the inclusion of the viewer sculpture has democratized and socialized itself. The exhibition “Pedestal Stories” shows works, which were created in the last 80 years or so and which exemplify this development. Each room is dedicated to a theme: diversity, habitation, era, and painting sculpture.

Die Ausstellung nimmt den durch die steigenden Temperaturen beschleunigten Wandel der alpinen Naturräume zum Ausgangspunkt. Werke zeitgenössischer Kunst, Exponate aus historischen Sammlungen und Gedanken einheimischer Menschen thematisieren die Zerbrechlichkeit der Natur, selbst gewaltiger Massen wie Berge und Gletscher, und erinnern uns an unsere Verantwortung unserem Planeten und zukünftigen Generationen gegenüber.

“Future Bodies from a Recent Past” brings to life a hitherto little-noticed phenomenon in art and sculpture in particular: the reciprocal interpenetration of body and technology. With works by around 60 artists—primarily from Europe, the USA and Japan—the exhibition is dedicated to the major technological changes since the post-war period and takes a look at their influence on our ideas of bodies. The exhibition is a journey through materials, forms, and modes of expression in sculpture, which has changed more in the last 70 years than probably ever before in its long history.

The Collection — the cornerstone of the Aargauer Kunsthaus — is growing apace, and today consists of over 20,000 pieces of Swiss art dating from the 18th century to the present day. In recent years, notable donations and loans — such as those from the Ringier Collection, the Federal Collection of Contemporary Art, the Walter A. Bechtler Foundation, or from patrons of the Aargauische Kunstsammlung — have contributed enormously to the outstanding importance of the collection in the European art scene. These additions, including many works by contemporary artists, serve as a source of fresh inspiration and form surprising associations within the portfolios.

On the 30th anniversary of its presence along the Museum Mile, the Kunstmuseum Bonn is offering a comprehensive view of its collection of contemporary art, which is being freshly presented from new perspectives in twenty rooms. Even if the presentation shows the Kunstmuseum to be a special site for painting, fundamental roles in the argumentation are nonetheless played by installation, film and photography.

The traditional December exhibition is the highly acclaimed platform for art production from the city and region of Winterthur. For a month, artists gather for an artistic rendezvous and mutual exchange. Biennially a large overview exhibition takes place at the Kunst Museum Winterthur in cooperation with the artists’ organization Künstlergruppe and the Kunsthalle Winterthur. The biennial exhibition alternates with an individual show at the Kunst Museum Winterthur, as will take place in 2018. This exhibition intends to offer new perspectives on the regional art scene, concomitantly investigating the work of selected artists. The curators work with the artists invited to create a concise group of works for the show. As a result, the December exhibition at the Kunst Museum Winterthur provides not only a sight onto the work of local artists, but also into it.

published by Michael Fried for the Yale University Press
In this strongly argued and characteristically original book, Michael Fried considers the work of four contemporary artists: video artist and photographer Anri Sala, sculptor Charles Ray, painter Joseph Marioni, and video artist and intervener in movies Douglas Gordon.
«Four Honest Outlaws» takes its title from a line in a Bob Dylan song, «To live outside the law you must be honest», meaning in this case that each of the four artists has found his own unsanctioned path to extraordinary accomplishment, in part by defying the ordinary norms and expectations of the contemporary art world.
Michael Fried will moderate a symposium «PAINTING NOW: A discussion taking off from the work of Joseph Marioni»,
