Kunsthalle Zürich

In its still short history, the Kunsthalle Zürich has established itself as one of the most renowned houses for international contemporary art. As an active institution with a broad network, it takes up an eminent position in the local, national as well as international cultural sphere.

Since 1996 the Kunsthalle Zürich has been at the heart and centre of the Löwenbräu complex – a former brewery – next to the migros museum für gegenwartskunst, the Daros Collection and important galleries for contemporary art. A complex and pulsating platform, the Löwenbräu stands worldwide as a unique model for a site that unites commercial, private and public domains of contemporary art under one and the same roof.

Founded in 1985 the Kunsthalle Zürich features five large-scale solo or group exhibitions and – in its additional exhibition spaces "Kunsthalle Zürich Parallel" – three to five smaller exhibitions per year in alternating display formats. 

In close dialogue with the artists, first survey shows of their works are usually arranged. By introducing new manners of perception and productions of mostly younger artists to a wider public, the artistically creative developments of the present time are showcased in an exemplary fashion. 

Together with an extensive programme of lectures, artist’s talks, symposia, public guided tours and an educational programme for children and young adults the Kunsthalle Zürich aims at making visible new ways of seeing through art, thus creating a platform for intellectual discourse and for the exchange of new thoughts and ideas. 

Rosemarie Trockel at the Kunsthalle Zürich

The Kunsthalle Zürich is pleased to be able to present a large-scale exhibition of the works of the German artist Rosemarie Trockel (born in 1952 in Schwerte, Germany, and living and working in Cologne), beginning on 8 May 2010. Taking as its platform new works which the artist will be producing specifically for this event at the Kunsthalle Zürich, the exhibition will demonstrate both the importance and the breadth of Rosemarie Trockel’s artistic oeuvre. Its main focus will be on objects, sculptures and installations, and it will juxtapose art works from the eighties and nineties with recent and brand new works.
