Press release

For the first time in the Fondation Beyeler’s more than 25-year history, the entire museum and its surrounding park will be transformed into the site of an experimental presentation of contemporary art. The Summer Show is conceived as a “living organism” that changes and transforms throughout its duration.

Connections and interrelationships between individual works are developed in close dialogue with the artists. This exchange also extends to works from the in-house collection, which are an integral part of the project. While a number of the paintings, sculptures, films, installations, and performances were created site-specifically, others are adapted versions of existing works.

The exhibition is organised by Fondation Beyeler in partnership with LUMA Foundation.

Concept by Sam Keller, Mouna Mekouar, Isabela Mora, Hans Ulrich Obrist, Precious Okoyomon, Philippe Parreno and Tino Sehgal in close collaboration with the participants.

Project team Fondation Beyeler: Angelika Bühler, Dorothee Dines, Ulrike Erbslöh, Markus Gross, Iris Hasler, Matthias Kohler, Michiko Kono, Ben Ludwig, Regula Moser, Christoph Thüer, David Vogt and Steffen Zarutzki.
