This year’s collection exhibition is devoted to grand artistic gestures: one work in one room. These are not small works, but room-filling installations. Installation art extends beyond the pictorial or sculptural character of a work and usually involves the whole room. This gives rise to a particular artistic universe. Often the viewers are actively involved in observing and experiencing the work. The main focus is contemporary art, with works on show that have been acquired from the 1990s to today.

One highlight of the exhibition is the immersive room work Wantee (2013) by Laure Prouvost in which the artist interweaves fiction, art history and personal history.

The first phase featured works by Andreas Gehr, Walter Pfeiffer, and Vivian Suter. Phase two showcased installations by Judith Albert, Marion Baruch, and Guy Ben Ner. Now on display are works by Rémy Markowitsch, Clara Reinhard, Rinus Van de Velde and Franz Erhard Walther.
