Agenda

Isa Genzken (1948) is recognized as one of the most important living artists. Her oeuvre straddles the boundaries of disciplines such as sculpture, installation, architecture, photography, film, and painting. The exhibition (Isa Genzken – Works from 1973-1983) turns the spotlight on the creative practice that she devised in the first decade of her career and her output between 1973 and 1983. It was during this time that she created the “Ellipsoids” and “Hyperbolos”; the largest-ever gathering of works from these sculptural series will be center stage in our exhibition. A second focus will be on her Genzken’s computer printouts on continuous paper, some in very large formats. They will be complemented by several graphic series.

It is about 40 years ago that pioneers in Switzerland imported snowboards from America and tried them out. The former outsiders, who at that time were not allowed on the slopes, are now even taking part in the Olympics or descending the steepest slopes. The exhibition provides an overview of this youth and sports movement from its beginnings to the present day, from its origins in America to today’s snowboard centre in Flims-Laax.

Taro Izumi (1976) has developed a unique creative universe. Sculpture, installation, performance and video are closely interwoven.The materials used lead to meticulously assembled constructions. This process is the result of the use of advanced technology and thorough reflection, energy and application. Each work in the current exhibition (Taro Izumi. ex) has a role to play. The works in the exhibition have been specially created by the artist on the basis of the museum’s space and current cultural, social and sanitary questions, such as Covid 19.
