Hauser & Wirth Zurich Hosts Performance Event in Response to KOO JEONG A Exhibition
Hauser & Wirth presented a performative event at its Limmatstrasse gallery in Zurich on March 21, 2026, responding to KOO JEONG A's exhibition 'KANGSE X'. The program, held at full capacity with 150 visitors, featured four performances selected from an open call by ZHdK – Zurich University of the Arts. Participating artists included Sere Rivers, Yoalmis Renzi Yioryios Papayioryiou, Collective DTC (Alma Iliescu Tudosa, Lena Kostovski, Yingjian Li, Darwin Sam), and Elin Nielsen. The jury comprised Professor Swetlana Heger-Davis, Director of the Department of Fine Arts at ZHdK, and Hauser & Wirth. The event was part of the Löwenbräukunst Open House program.
The Signal
The collaboration between Hauser & Wirth and ZHdK underscores a growing trend of galleries engaging directly with academic institutions to foster emerging talent and experimental practices. For collectors and curators, such programs signal a commitment to process-based and collaborative art-making that often precedes market recognition. KOO JEONG A's practice, which blends sculpture, film, and interactive elements, finds resonance in these student-led interventions, highlighting the cross-generational dialogue that commercial galleries increasingly cultivate.
