Art to See in Zurich This Fall
Sep 16, 2011
It’s officially fall. Artforum is bigger than September Vogue. Galleries have started keeping their posted hours again. The art season is upon us. In Zurich, despite ongoing construction on a few major museums, there’s lots to see. Most of the artists aren’t locals, and the city tends to skew minimal, conceptual and emotionally cold, but that should be no surprise in the capital of numbered bank accounts and theoretical wealth. Kunst for everyone!
Kunsthalle Zurich
Performance group DAS INSTITUT (Kerstin Brätsch and Adele Röder ) will put up 23 installations of photos, textiles, paintings, posters, leisure-wear, cakes, press-on-nails and other metawork on painting and commerce in the Kunsthalle Zurich’s temporary home at Museum Barengasse.
