With his camera, Streuli follows a global flow of people, and often the images of anonymous passers-by and their everyday lives are reflected back into the urban space from billboards or the façades of public buildings. The first photographs were taken during Beat Streuli's stay at the Istituto Svizzero in Rome at the end of the 1980s. Since then, his in-situ installations can be seen all over the world, for example at the ETH Zurich, the UZ Spital in Brussels, the Lufthansa Aviation Center in Frankfurt, the Hague University of Applied Sciences and the Dallas Fort Worth Airport. Solo exhibitions have been held at the Tate Gallery, London (1997), the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago (1999), the Palais de Tokyo, Paris (2002), the Musée des Arts Contemporains, Grand-Hornu (2008), and Mobiliar, Bern (2020/21), among others. His works are represented in international institutions such as the Guggenheim Museum, New York, the Museum of Modern Art, San Francisco, the MACBA, Barcelona and the Centre Pompidou, Paris. istitutosvizzero.it Enti finanziatori: Partners: Fondazione svizzera per la cultura Pro Helvetia EFG Segreteria di Stato per la formazione, la ricerca e l’innovazione Canton Ticino Ufficio federale delle costruzioni e della logistica Città di Lugano Università della Svizzera Italiana.

Beat Streuli Living Room
Beat Streuli Living Room September 3 to October 8, 2014 Yumiko Chiba Associates viewing room shinjuku Gallery Talk & Opening Reception: Saturday, September 6 (Gallery Talk will be held in HILLSIDE TERRACE café at Daikanyama Hillside Terrace.) ©Beat Streuli, Courtesy of Yumiko Chiba Associates Yumiko Chiba Associates viewing room shinjuku is pleased to present a solo exhibition by Beat Streuli, ‘Living Room’, from September 3 to October 8, 2014. Beat Streuli, a Swiss photographer who started working in the 1980s, has presented his works in cities around the globe. Presently based in Zurich and Brussels, he has been actively working all over Europe and in many other parts of the world. He first received attention for his series from the early 1990s; some of this work was photographed in Rome, Paris, and New York. Streuli takes photographs of local people in public places, often with a telephoto lens, focusing on them and their ordinary lives. He has begun to work more outside of Europe and the United States, in both Western and non-Western countries. Recently, his work has started to include more non-figurative, almost abstract elements. At the beginning of his career, Streuli produced and presented his works as small format and black and white photographs, but in the early 1990s, he developed new forms of presentation, working with floor to ceiling, multi-screen slide and video projections. He also started working with large scale images installed on the façades of public buildings in various cities, and with monumental billboard installations. For the past twenty years, Streuli's work has been frequently exhibited around the world; he has also realized many temporary and permanent projects in public spaces.

NEWS RELEASE Contact: Loretta Yarlow or John Simpson 413-545-3670 Please Post Until End Date FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: 8/9/06 WHAT: Exhibition, Opening Reception: Beat Streuli/ Cities 2001-2005 WHEN: Wednesday, September 20, 2006, 6 – 8PM SPECIAL EVENT: In Conversation 7:00PM: Artist Beat Streuli and Fraser Stables, Assistant Professor, Smith College Department of Art, discuss photography and video within the context of this exhibition. WHERE: University Gallery, Fine Arts Center, UMass Amherst For more information please check the University Gallery website: www.umass.edu/fac/universitygallery The University Gallery takes great pleasure in announcing the opening of an exhibition of video work by the internationally acclaimed Swiss-born artist, BEAT STREULI, on WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 2006,from 6-8pm. Streuli has developed an impressive body of work in photography and video that documents the transient pedestrian activity of urban life. His images of people moving through and among one another blur the line between portraying anonymity and individuality. His art is fuelled by his interest in the movements of people in large cities around the world, in Asia, Europe, the U.S., Africa, and Australia. The dramatically slowed video images, which represent an ever-changing sea of pedestrians -- bodies and faces navigating through a given city -- offer a moving social portrait of contemporary society. "Streuli's images are typically suggestive and ambiguous, and precisely because they so often depict people in transition, they effectively conjure an entire rolling era marked by restlessness, wandering, speed, and displacement." -- Gregory Volk, independent curator and writer for "Art in America". Beat Streuli's exhibition at the University Gallery will be the artist's first exhibition in the U.S.

Press Information
press information November 2006 Beat Streuli January 13 to February 24, 2007 Opening: Friday, January 12, 6 - 9 pm Galerie Eva Presenhuber is pleased to present a solo exhibition by Swiss native Beat Streuli, featuring recent works. Beat Streuli is one of the internationally leading exponents of contemporary photography. Commuting between Düsseldorf and Brussels, the artist focuses his camera mainly on the inhabitants of the world’s large cities, but also, to an increasing extent, on the population of smaller urban centers: London, New York, Sydney, Tokyo, Osaka, Los Angeles, as well as Krakau, Tel Aviv, and Athens, just to mention a few. For the last 15 years, he has been following the faces and gestures of city dwellers, capturing them with a photo or video camera in a mostly glaring, yet warm sunlight. Since Streuli uses a telephoto lens, the people that he portrays are not aware of their role as subjects, which is why in his artistic work, they eventually appear in the well-known state of absent-mindedness, self-absorption, and thoughtfulness. Due to the significant differences in sharpness between fore- and background, the subjects are revealed in minute detail: The hair is shiny, the skin shimmers, accessories such as sunglasses and cellular phones become identity-building mass utensils. Within these metropolises, Streuli’s eye observes not only passers-by of all ages and origins, but also means of transportation, advertisements, pieces of architecture, and urban furnishings. In his new four-part video work, he has filmed people waiting for the bus at the Porte de Flandre station in Brussels.

Text by Tessel M. Bauduin, Daniel Birnbaum, Briony Fer, Vivien Greene, David Max Horowitz, Andrea Kollnitz, Helen Molesworth, Julia Voss. When Swedish artist Hilma af Klint died in 1944 at the age of 81, she left behind more than 1,000 paintings and works on paper that she had kept largely private during her lifetime. Believing the world was not yet ready for her art, she stipulated that it should remain unseen for another 20 years. But only in recent decades has the public had a chance to reckon with af Klint’s radically abstract painting practice—one which predates the work of Vasily Kandinsky and other artists widely considered trailblazers of modernist abstraction. Her boldly colorful works, many of them large-scale, reflect an ambitious, spiritually informed attempt to chart an invisible, totalizing world order through a synthesis of natural and geometric forms, textual elements and esoteric symbolism.
