The Facts
Kunsthaus Zürich announced its 2024 exhibition programme on October 19, 2023, featuring reexaminations of canonical figures and cross-era dialogues. Highlights include 'Apropos Hodler' (March 8–June 30, 2024), which reinterprets Ferdinand Hodler with contemporary artists including Nicolas Party, David Hockney, and Wolfgang Tillmans; a retrospective of Kiki Kogelnik (March 22–July 14, 2024); and 'Barbara Visser. Alreadymade' (February 9–May 12, 2024), probing the authorship of Duchamp's 'Fountain'. The programme also pairs Matthew Wong with Vincent van Gogh, includes Marina Abramovič and Walid Raad, and draws from the collection with 'Born Digital' and 'Albert Welti'.
The Signal
The programme reflects a strategy of critical revision, positioning contemporary perspectives against historical figures to question national narratives and canonical hierarchies. The focus on private collections, such as the ongoing Bührle exhibition and the Looser Collection, also underscores institutional engagement with provenance and collecting ethics.
