“Hans Josephsohn & Loredana Sperini”

April 7 – May 5, 2022

The exhibition “Hans Josephsohn & Loredana Sperini” brings together two prominent positions of Swiss sculpture whose similarities are not necessarily obvious. It is already the fourth exhibition in cooperation with the Ursula Hauser Collection at NEST, this time conceived and realised by students of the context module “Art & Exhibiting”. On the one hand, the juxtaposition of Josephsohn and Sperini serves as a precise (art-historical) examination of the works; on the other hand, it is used to offer insights into questions of art handling, conservation and collecting of art as well as the various steps on the way to an exhibition.

Opening hours:

Friday, April 8, 5–8pm

Friday, April 22, 5–8pm

Friday, April 29, 5–8pm
