WHISPERS OF JAPAN – Luciano Castelli 21 November 2025 – 15 February 2026 @kbhgeiger Absolutely thrilled about this exhibition — it brings together my love for Japan and my admiration for Luciano Castelli in a way that feels both bold and quietly luminous. Castelli, one of Switzerland’s most boundary-shifting artists since the 1970s, moves fluidly between painting, photography, performance and music. A key figure of the “Neue Wilde,” he has long explored identity, transformation and the art of crossing borders. Whispers of Japan unfolds his ongoing fascination with Japanese aesthetics: early self-portraits, Butō-charged photographs and newly created folding screens that radiate his unmistakably agile brushwork. For anyone drawn to Japan, contemporary art, or the spark of creative reinvention, this exhibition is a quiet marvel worth experiencing. 🌸🖤

For centuries, mistletoe has carried a quiet kind of magic — a symbol of love, peace, and healing held gently in winter branches. 🌿✨ Here’s to the traditions that remind us to slow down, cherish one another, and welcome a little more warmth into the season.

Cover handprinted by Rilès during « The 25th Hour » performance art. In a world of automation, Rilès chose the opposite path: 20,000 handmade covers, 24 hours, one human imprint repeated until exhaustion. A reminder that creation is not just production — it’s presence, intention, and the trace we leave behind. This album is more than music; it’s a meditation on time, effort, and what it means to stay human. @0riles #humanmade #intentionalart #songsofpresence

Where the winter frost touches the leaves, a magic arises …

Nature gives so much — if we only take the time to see it. 🍂 My lovely neighbor gathers what the forest offers — leaves, berries, branches — and turns it into beautiful wreaths. A little reminder that beauty begins with gratitude for the gifts around us. 🌾💛

Samia Halaby (b. 1936, Jerusalem) was displaced from Palestine with her family in 1948 at the age of eleven and grew up in the American Midwest – at a time when abstract expressionism was popular but female abstract painters were marginalized. Nevertheless, Halaby established herself as a significant artist and, in the mid-1980s, began incorporating digital media into her practice. Using a Commodore Amiga 1000, she experimented with the programming languages BASIC and C to create kinetic paintings that combined color, form, movement, and sound. Works such as Bread (1988) are considered pioneering in bridging painting and computer art, and they continue to resonate today both for their painterly qualities and their media-historical significance. @samiahalaby Digilab & Post Digital, @kunsthauszuerich Launched in 2021, Digilab and Post Digital explore the artistic and societal impact of digital technologies, from AI and big data to the “quantified self,” through experimental approaches. On view until 5 October.

Moderne in Farbe und Form Robert Delaunay (1885–1941) zerlegte die Welt in Farben und zählt zu den zentralen Malern der Moderne. Seine Werke feiern Licht, Bewegung und das pulsierende Leben. Aristide Maillol – Hommage à Cézanne: Für die grosse Leitfigur der Moderne, Paul Cézanne, wählt Maillol eine weibliche Allegorie. Das Original entstand in rosafarbenem Marmor (Musée d’Orsay, Paris). Mehrere Bronze-Güsse sind bis heute zu sehen – unter anderem im @kunsthauszuerich und im Jardin des Tuileries in Paris. Im Dialog der Bilder richtet sich Maillols Skulptur auf Delaunays Farbwelt. Zwei Künstler, zwei Ausdrucksformen – verbunden in einem Vermächtnis der Moderne.

Glacier Dreams – Refik Anadol @kunsthauszuerich I lost myself in Glacier Dreams by @refikanadol. Data from glaciers in Iceland, Greenland, and Antarctica transform into hypnotic, ever-changing visuals — balancing between beauty and fragility. The installation makes you feel how nature is in constant motion, yet under threat. Technology reveals what we could hardly grasp otherwise — and reminds us that we are part of this story. If you visit the Kunsthaus: take your time, breathe, and let the artwork fully embrace you.

Monster Chetwynd – “Zardoz” in the Garden @kunsthauszuerich For the first time, a female artist has created a commissioned work for the garden of Kunsthaus Zürich: Monster Chetwynd (b. 1973, London; lives in Zürich) presents Zardoz, a monumental, over eight-meter-tall head. The sculpture functions as both a space for reflection and a playground. Inspired by the grotesque figures of the 16th-century Bomarzo gardens, science-fiction visions of the 1970s, and the tradition of follies, the work invites children and adults alike to enter and explore. The climbable interior transforms the monumental into the accessible, activating the David Chipperfield–designed outdoor space as a true “Garden of Art” for the first time.

Jeffrey Gibson – A Monumental Welcome @kunsthauszuerich The American artist @jeffrune transforms the entrance hall of the Chipperfield building into a monumental, color-intense installation. His work boshullichi / inlʋchi – we will continue to change unites painting, sculpture, textiles, ceramics, and beadwork into a vibrant cosmos of patterns, forms, and symbols. The title combines two words from the Choctaw language, both meaning “change.” And that is exactly what Gibson’s work is about: transformation, identity, and the power of cultural diversity. The entrance hall becomes an open, free-to-all invitation to rethink our perception of art and community.

✨ We Are Here! ✨ This exhibition marks the relocation of Museum @hauskonstruktiv to the Löwenbräukunst Areal. After almost 25 years at ewz-Unterwerk Selnau, the museum opens a new chapter at Limmatstrasse 268. Across three exhibition spaces, highlights and new acquisitions from the collection are on view – from the Zurich Concretes Max Bill, Richard Paul Lohse, Verena Loewensberg, and Camille Graeser to contemporary positions. With around 1,000 works, the collection offers a rich overview of concrete, constructive, and conceptual art from the 1920s to the present day. 👉 On view until 28 September – don’t miss it! #HausKonstruktiv #WeAreHere #Löwenbräukunst #Exhibition #Zurich #Art

The majestic King Protea 👑 🌸 Known as South Africa’s national flower, this beauty isn’t just stunning—it’s deeply symbolic. With its crown-like bloom and strength to rise again after wildfires, the King Protea stands for resilience, renewal, and transformation. Every time I look at it, I’m reminded that growth often comes from challenges, and that beauty can be both powerful and enduring. 💫 #KingProtea #Protea #Resilience #FloralInspiration

Homage to Fritz Wotruba (1907–1975) ✨ On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of his death. At the heart of Wotruba’s work stood the human figure — reduced over time into monumental blocks. He saw his art as a humanistic response to the devastations of war. Fritz Wotruba was born in Vienna in 1907. From 1926 to 1929, he studied sculpture at the School of Arts and Crafts. From 1938 to 1945, he and his wife lived in exile in Zug. Wotruba’s studio at Weinbergstrasse 4 in Zug was a popular meeting place for many artists and intellectuals. After the war, Wotruba returned to Vienna. There, he headed a master class for sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts until his death in 1975. His estate is now housed at @belvedere21wien Works in front of @kunsthauszug Large Standing Figure (1966, bronze) – A tall, narrow sculpture where figuration dissolves into geometric abstraction. Large Reclining Figure (1960, bronze) – Built from staggered blocks, an abstracted resting body that shifts with the light. Other works at Kunsthaus Zug: Female Cathedral (1946, sandstone with limestone inclusions) – A powerful early stone piece. Large Standing Man (1974, bronze) – Less reduced, with head, shoulders, and arm stumps still visible. #kunstimöffentlichenraum #kiörzug #kunstsammlung #zug @inlovewithzug

Together with the Zytturm, the Zollhaus dominates the west side of Kolinplatz. With its stepped gable and Gothic forms, it blends into the medieval cityscape – yet the current building was actually erected in 1868 as the city chancery. During the 1983 renovation, a spacious open hall was created on the ground floor – a strict, linear space that called for art. And who better than the internationally renowned Zug artist Hans Potthof (1911–2003) His painting dissolves the heaviness of the stonework and gives the space optical depth – shifting with the light throughout the day. Architecture and painting merge into a vibrant composition that captures natural motifs such as the sun, leaves, birds, and even musicians – a late work in which memory and vision come together. Hans Potthof didn’t just decorate the Zollhaus – he turned architecture into movement. #Zug #Kolinplatz #Zollhaus #HansPotthof #PublicArt #KiörZug #KunstImÖffentlichenRaum

Flashback to my last trip to Strasbourg: Palais Rohan – a Baroque Jewel ✨ In the heart of Strasbourg stands the Palais Rohan, an 18th-century masterpiece. Once the residence of prince-bishops and later a gathering place for kings and emperors, it blends French classicism with Alsatian charm. Today, it houses three museums – and every room tells a story of power, art, and elegance. I was drawn to the portraits – each one seemed to whisper its own story, each gaze opening a window to the past. 1+2) La Belle Strasbourgeoise (1703), Nicolas de Largillierre 3) La Justice (1650), Eustache Le Sueur 4) La Vierge consolatrice (1877), William Bouguereau 5) L’Amour vainqueur ou L’ingegno, Giuseppe Maria Crespi „Lo Spagnolo“ 6) Buste d’ange (um 1500), Filippino Lippi 7) Jeanne d’Arc embrassant l’épée de la Délivrance (1863), Dante Gabriel Rossetti 8) Portrait de la Vierge (once Mater Dolorosa), Le Greco 9) Jeune garçon pincé par une écrevisse, Attribué à Pensionante del Saraceni (after Caravaggio) 10) Vierge en oraison (1640), Gian Battista Salvi, dit Sassoferrato 11+12) Intérieur de harem ou Femme mauresque sortant du bain au sérail (1854), Une jeune fille cosaque trouve Mazeppa évanoui sur le cheval sauvage (1851), Théodore Chassériau 13) Épisode de la guerre de 1814 (1870), Jean Théophile Schuler 14) Perroquet (étude), Jean Baptiste Oudry @museedesbeauxartsstrasbourg @museesdestrasbourg

Even UFOs know what’s best — a stop in Baden, between historic streets and riverside bars by the Limmat! 🛸🍹🏰 #Baden #Aargau #LimmatVibes #StreetArt #UFOinBaden

Triebguet Frischluftbar – where summer lights up the Limmat! Tucked between bridges, with views of Baden’s Old Town and the historic Stein ruins, this summer bar is the perfect riverside escape. Toast to sunset skies, sip on chilled craft beers or playful cocktails, and enjoy grill treats or cool sorbets. From September 1–27, Triebguet embraces Chäsfondue season – the coziest way to welcome autumn by the river. #Baden #Aargau #Limmat #Triebguet #Bar #FondueLove #SwissTradition @triebguet @deinbaden

Baden on the Limmat – where history and thermal wellness go hand in hand. The old town nestles against the Jura hills while the Limmat quietly tells its stories – from Roman spa days to the golden Habsburg era, all the way to today’s modern thermal oases. Across the historic wooden bridge to the Landvogteischloss, along the Art Trail by the river, and always with a chance to unwind in Baden’s “liquid gold.” #Baden #Aargau #Limmat #ArtWalks #History @deinbaden

My little treasure in the garden: my fig tree 🍃💜 – giving me the sweetest, juiciest figs every year. The fig is one of the oldest cultivated plants in the world. Originally from the Orient, it has been cherished for thousands of years not only as food but also as a symbol of fertility and life. Beyond their unique taste, figs are packed with minerals and vitamins: potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron, and vitamins A, B, and C – true power fruits that nourish both body and soul. #FigLove #GardenJoy #HealthyLiving

Hüttnersee — where Hütten meets Samstagern and still waters carry the sky. A million cubic meters of quiet, surrounded by meadows, forests, and the gentle chime of neighbors — the cows. Here the day begins in silver and ends in gold.

Diverse Emmental. @museumfranzgertsch till August 31, 2025 This exhibition presents a wide range of art from the Emmental region — from well-known works of the 19th and 20th centuries to contemporary pieces in painting, watercolor, drawing, printmaking, photography, objects, sculpture, and ceramics. Pictures: Max Buri, Gespräch (last painting, unfinished), 1915 Cuno Amiet, Self-portrait in the studio, 1913; Riedtwil and surroundings, 1924; Portraits of Ferdinand Hodler, 1926 Heinz Egger, Denkwand, 1992-2024, Blue Forest, 2010 Hans Nussbaumer, Untitled Hans Stalder, Pensées, 2010 Rebecca Maeder, Zoophytschale, 2008 Aschi Rüfenacht, Vessel ceramics, 2024/25

Shin-Hanga. Japanese Woodblock Prints @museumfranzgertsch till 31.08.2025 As a lover of Japanese woodblocks — especially serene landscapes of Mount Fuji, zen gardens, and traditional motifs — I’m drawn to this exhibition dedicated to shin-hanga (“new woodblock prints”). From the 1920s–60s, artists like Hiroshi Yoshida, Hiroaki Takanashi, Koson Ohara or Toraji Ishikawa blended centuries-old techniques with fresh perspectives, international themes, and a poetic sense of place.

Portraits and Nature Pieces. @museumfranzgertsch till 31.08.2025 Step into a world where nature is magnified into pure poetry. Gertsch’s monumental Gräser paintings, drawn from the blades of grass in his own garden, follow the moods of the seasons — from spring’s fresh greens to the golden stillness of late summer. Each work becomes a meditation on time, light, and the quiet rhythm of growth. His portraits and woodcuts share the same meticulous eye. Working from photographic slides, Gertsch translated the light of each projection into a constellation of hand-cut points in linden wood, leaving untouched areas to breathe as highlights. Printed by hand in small editions on handmade Japanese paper, some works were built from multiple plates layered for tone and depth, others from a single, perfect impression.

Museum @museumfranzgertsch in Burgdorf / Architects: Hansueli Jörg & Martin Sturm, Langnau i. E. I’m drawn to this building’s quiet precision — three concrete cubes that bridge Burgdorf’s old town and the station quarter. A public footpath threads through, yet the interiors remain a private, contemplative world for art. Every element follows clear geometry and proportion, with concrete, glass, white walls, and oak floors creating a serene, modern atmosphere. Designed in close dialogue with Franz Gertsch, the spaces feel measured, intentional, and timeless. Special to the design is an architectural “Four Seasons Clock”: certain surfaces are lit or shaded only on specific days, letting the building itself mark months and seasons like a modern sun dial.

Rose Wylie. Flick and Float @zentrumpaulklee – on view until 5 October – a solo show celebrating the British artist (b. 1934) who boldly breaks the rules of painting with wit, courage, and unmistakable style. Wylie transforms everyday impressions, film scenes, art history & pop culture into large-scale, collage-like works – spontaneous, playful, yet masterfully composed. No realism here – instead, simplified forms, bold colors, and text as a design element – leaving space for viewers to imagine their own stories. Picture 2: Party-ready at 82 – In this rare self-portrait, Rose Wylie celebrates her love of legs, bold shoulders, and red lipstick, later captured by Juergen Teller as a true style icon. Picture 8: Ancient myth meets modern runway – Rose Wylie pairs Lilith, feminist icon of legend, with a Gucci model, blending high art and pop culture. Picture 9: From photoshoot to prophecy – Inspired by a chat with Belgian photographer Daniel, Rose Wylie paints the biblical dream of Nebuchadnezzar’s statue, reimagined in her bold, playful style. Picture 13: Bagdad Café meets everyday life – Rose Wylie blends film scenes with coffee stains, garden flowers, and planner sketches, creating a playful, multi-part composition. Picture 14: The first film Wylie ever saw: Disney’s Snow White. Her figures often float in space, outlined in black—drawing inspiration from comics and traditional painting styles. Feminist messages? Open to interpretation. Picture 15: Callais – Childhood memories in war – Rose Wylie’s Wing Tips and Blue Doodlebug reflects her WWII memories, from air raids on London to the iconic “doodlebug” missiles and anti-aircraft guns. #RoseWylie #FlickandFloat #ZentrumPaulKlee #ArtExhibition #ContemporaryArt #ArtLovers #myartrevelation2025 @zentrumpaulklee

@zentrumpaulklee in Bern is not only a museum but also home to a small, publicly accessible park. Here, visitors can encounter sculptures by Alicia Penalba (1913–1982) and Oscar Wiggli (1927–2016), part of the private collection of Martha Müller-Lüthi, the founder of the Zentrum. This quiet outdoor space offers an open-air dialogue between Klee’s creative spirit and the works of these modern sculptors.

@zentrumpaulklee in Bern, Switzerland, celebrates the life and work of Paul Klee (born 1879 in Münchenbuchsee), who began drawing young and studied art in Munich. A key Bauhaus teacher, Klee created a versatile body of work linked to Expressionism, Constructivism, Cubism, Primitivism, and Surrealism. His art was later labeled entartete Kunst (degenerate art) by the Nazis. Drafted in WWI and exiled from Nazi Germany, he continued creating until his death in 1940. The Zentrum, designed by Renzo Piano and opened in 2005, features a flowing, wave-like design inspired by Klee’s rhythm and creativity. It houses thousands of his works, writings, and teaching materials, preserving the vision of an artist who made the invisible visible. @ilove_bern

Bern never disappoints. Stayed at Hotel @nationalbern — just five minutes from the station and full of vintage charm. Built in 1908 and once called Hotel Monbijou, it still has its original early-1900s elevator, and yes, it still works. History you can ride in. @ilove_bern

August 6, 1928 - Happy Birthday, Andy Warhol! Today we celebrate the birthday of one of the most influential figures in modern art: Andy Warhol – master of Pop Art, chronicler of mass culture, and visionary of the 20th century. Famous for his Campbell’s Soup Cans, Marilyns, and his radical fusion of art and commerce, Warhol sharply questioned our relationship to fame, consumerism, and mortality. In 1985 – exactly 40 years ago – his gaze turned to something else: Mount Vesuvius. Commissioned by the Museo di Capodimonte in Naples, Warhol created a series of works transforming the iconic volcano into a symbol of explosive power – blending comic-book aesthetics, apocalyptic beauty, and the raw force of nature. In Vesuvius, nature becomes the star – destructive, beautiful, larger than life. “Vesuvius” - “I wanted each painting to look as if it had been painted just one minute after the eruption.” – Andy Warhol #AndyWarhol #Vesuvius #1985 #PopArt #WarholBirthday #WarholVesuvius #August6 #ArtHistory #Naples #Volcano

“Fantasy, abandoned by reason, produces impossible monsters; united with reason, she is the mother of the arts and the origin of marvels.” — Francisco de Goya, 1799 I came across this quote in a @taschen newsletter about their new Goya volume, and it struck me deeply. I asked ChatGPT to visualize it — but at first, the result was blocked for policy reasons. Apparently, Goya’s reference to “impossible monsters” and grotesque fantasy may have led to a visual interpretation that crossed a line. That’s when I thought of Labubu — the wildly popular collectible creature. I asked again, this time using Labubu as a symbol. Though written in 1799, Goya’s words feel eerily relevant. In an age of overconsumption and trend culture, fantasy is often stripped of meaning — sold back to us as distraction. Symbols of creativity become symbols of sameness. Mass-produced, obsessively collected, and quickly discarded — Labubu and other trends leave behind not just cultural noise, but also physical waste. When imagination loses touch with reason, it becomes spectacle: addictive, hollow, monstrous. But Goya also reminds us: when imagination is united with thought, it can still create marvels. #Goya #PhilosophyThroughArt #FantasyAndReason #Surrealism #AIArt #ModernMyth #Labubu #VisualPhilosophy #Imagination
