Timely and timeless, the gallery displays today’s most intriguing questions and thought provoking art. More than an exhibition, an eye opener to complex interactions bathed in politics, industrial and environmental issues immersed in our endlessly changing consumer society. The artists use metaphorical and symbolical mediums to voice these dilemmas in a global world, by facilitating coexistence and constructive interaction between dif- ferent countries. As a highlight of the show, French artist Fabienne Verdier’s stroke endows us with the cross- cultural articulation of Chinese traditional ink painting woven with Western influence. The exhibition pays a tribute to the rich cultural diversity of Asia and its two world powers: China and India that have fuelled creativity and ignited the minds of these artists. The loss of heritage and tradition in a growing inter- connectedness is compelling in art as it embraces human existence. We are grateful to all the artists for their endless talent. Frédéric de Senarclens 3 4 5 Choi Xoo Ang shows us the realism of the human emotion frozen in an instant.

  • Recent Art from the Sigg and M+ Sigg Collections 19.02. – 19.06.2016
    Exhibition Guide EN Recent Art from the Sigg and M+ Sigg Collections 19.02. – 19.06.2016 A cooperation of Founded by Maurice E. and Martha Müller and the heirs of Paul Klee Introduction “Chinese whispers”, or telephone, is the name of a game in which chil- dren arrange themselves in a line or a circle, and one child whispers a message to the next child until the last player says it out loud. The amusement comes about through the increasing corruption of the original message. As an educational exercise the game demonstrates the development of rumors or misunderstandings and reveals the vol- atility of oral transmissions in general. It therefore lends itself all the more as a metaphor for dealing with contemporary art from China – art that is foreign to us due to cultural, historical, and political differences yet which is becoming progressively familiar, because global network- ing and the art market’s voracious appetite for new forms of expres- sion have long since brought contemporary Chinese art to the West. The principle of the distorted echo in the children’s game can in many respects also be made use of for cultural relations between the West and China, as well as for the multifaceted and parallel manifestations in contemporary Chinese art. The exhibition features around 150 works of contemporary Chinese art from the last fteen years. The works are part of the collection of Uli Sigg who, as a businessman and former Swiss ambassador, lived in China for many years. In the early 1970s he became one of the rst to engage with Chinese artistic activity.
