Lorna Simpson
Opening 30 September 2023, the US artist Lorna Simpson will exhibit new work in Zurich from her ongoing Special Character series, marking Simpson’s first solo exhibition with the gallery in Switzerland. First unveiled in 2019, her Special Character series superimposes women’s faces from fashion and wig ads found in the pages of Ebony magazine, revealing through repetition the reinforcement of stereotypes in the everyday imagery we consume. In these works, silkscreened images of isolated figures emerge from layered washes of paint, highlighting Simpson’s continual investigation of the relationship between parts and wholes and the nature of representation, identity, gender and race. By repurposing and reconfiguring found images—a signature source in her work—Simpson creates her own highly distinctive visual terrain that offers a potent response to American life today.

Zurich Biennale
Across the 500 m2 lower level of the Kunsthalle Zürich, the Zürich Biennial presents approximately 50 positions and more than 300 works scattered across time and geography. The works share in common certain effects of distortion and the grotesque, reflecting on a world that is 'windschief', warped by the wind.
Curated by Mitchell Anderson, artist and founder of Plymouth Rock, and Daniel Baumann, director of Kunsthalle Zurich

Interdependencies: Perspectives on Care and Resilience
This expansive group exhibition considers models of radical care through three distinct themes: self-care, politicised care, and collective care.
Opening: Friday, October 6, 2023
Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic we have all experienced varying levels of difficulties in our personal and private lives, brought on by isolation, sickness and adapting to new situations. Due to this monumental shift in society, an outpouring of care has been experienced across the globe. This is in stark contrast to the failures of care that have long been present in society, especially for the most vulnerable members of society. While for some, models of self-care might offer respite from the harsh realities of global capitalism, they are a privilege for the few. More than ever before, care has become a central question in a variety of contexts, in clinical environments, socially, and in the workplace.
It could be said that artists have always responded to various forms of care either collectively or individually, in response to social and political crises. But as care has entered the zeitgeist as a reaction to today’s political climate, artists are seeking to present alternative models of radical care, which engage histories of grassroots community action, queer, feminist and social movements, and attack neoliberal models of self-care. This expansive group exhibition considers models of radical care through three distinct themes: self-care, politicised care, and collective care. These themes emerge through practices that propose and deliver interventions, commentary and acts of care that challenge our understanding of the phenomenon today.
The exhibition will include a publication, an extensive public programme and a symposium.
With works by: Sharona Franklin, Maryam Jafri, Grace Ndiritu, Rory Pilgrim, Lauryn Youden and others.
Curator: Dr. Michael Birchall

FINTOPIA
Fintopia investigates a key driver of our activities: Money. What happens if we design its rules differently to foster a healthy world? The exhibition uses artistic and design practices to explore how our systems work and how we might conceive our (financial) world differently. Where is the frontier between plausibility and utopia? And where do we already find traces of desirable futures? Fintopia offers future scenarios full of approaches, inspirations and stories. And opens up the space for discussion, questioning, and thinking beyond. A realm of possibilities that awakens the curiosity to venture into the economic unknown.
About Kollektiv Fintopia:
Fintopia is a project by Miriam Nietlispach, Tom Stäubli, Marie-Claire Graf and Massimo Calamassi. The Kollektiv Fintopia is organized as a non-profit association.
Fintopia promotes dialogue around the sphere of economy. Money and its systems permeate every area of life.This must be a starting point for any political discourse. Nevertheless, very few people find their way into this complex topics. Given the challenges of our time, we must be able to discuss and investigate the most effective actions toward transformation with broad social support. Fintopia wants to facilitate access to this matter and support people in finding passion for the future and courage to imagine new alternatives.

PERSPECTIVES ON CARE AND RESILIENCE: TALK ABOUT THE FEMINIST DISABILITY MOVEMENT WITH AVANTI NETWORK
Care and disability are linked in many ways. However, people with disabilities are not only recipients of care, but also provide care (services) for others, non-disabled people, for example in childcare or caring for relatives. Although it is actually obvious, the aspect of disability is usually left out of the discourse on care.
The history of the Swiss disability movement is poorly documented and many of the pioneers have been forgotten. FLINTA people like Aiha Zemp and Ursula Eggli have campaigned for the rights of FLINTA people with disabilities in recent decades – many of their demands also related to care.
The network avanti, feminist disabled and chronically ill, has been advocating for the feminist concerns of people with disabilities for over 20 years. Care work has always been a central theme of the association, be it personal assistance, parenthood or collective forms of self-help.
Nina Mühlemann and Karin Huber from the network avanti will take up the topic of care in this talk. What is the significance of care in the work of a self-representing organization for people with disabilities? How has the topic influenced the founders of the network? What could an intersectional concept of care look like if disability is consistently taken into account?
The talk will roughly take 40 minutes and will be followed by a conversation with the audience.
Location: Caring Space, museum, ground floor

Interventions on Frequency: Alexandra Sheherazade Salem, Fatima Wegmann and Göksu Kunak
«Intervention on Frequency» is a performance series focusing on sound practices and asks the question: What happens when body and sound meet? Works that represent different positions on pressing issues around race, gender, and sexuality are shown. Curated by Antoine Simeão Schalk and Danniel Tostes.
This iteration features two performances, each roughly lasting an hour:
5.30 pm
«My hair woke up horny as fuck» is a performance by Alexandra Sheherazade Salem in collaboration with producer Fatima Wegmann. It is an exploration of body memory and desire, in which the movements are derived from ancient dances that realte to the earth and fertility. By associating poetry to movement, and using symbols from her Persian cultural heritage, Alexandra Sheherazade Salem embodies an encounter between vulnerability and power, transporting us into the depths of emotion and sensuality as a transformative force.
7 pm
«An(a)kara» is a performance in the format of a sci-fi TV variety show. It is hosted by the artist Göksu Kunak herself and explores Turkey’s late modernity with a particular focus on the city of the same name and the bodies of neoliberal TV hosts who are like monumental statues as they embody nationalist ideologies, serving as instruments of propaganda.

NARRATIVE CAFÉS
Life stories connect us. At the Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst, the storytelling café gives you the opportunity to share incidents from your own life in a group on a specific topic. The storytelling café is led by a moderator, and participants can discover commonalities, gain new perspectives, or look back on their own lives.
In 2023, in parallel with the «Acts of Friendship» exhibition, the storytelling café themes revolve around friendship and, with the «Interdependencies» exhibition, around how we care for one another. This narrative café revolves around the topic of care.
More information about the exhibitions can be found here.

ON CARING FOR ARTISTS' RIGHTS - DISCUSSION WITH WAGES FOR WAGES AGAINST
Venue: Event space, ground floor
In the conversation "On Caring for Artist's Rights" with Ramaya Tegene and Tiphanie Blance from the collective Wages For Wages Against, the question of fair working conditions for artists will be explored and the role of the art and cultural landscape as well as institutions will be discussed. The discussion will be held in conjunction with the group exhibition «Interdependencies: Perspectives on Care and Resilience» and is moderated by Tasnim Baghdadi (Head of Education and Programs).
Launched in 2017, Wages For Wages Against is a collective and campaign for the fair remuneration of artists in Switzerland, better work conditions, and an alternative economy of the arts, actively fighting all forms of discrimination through public debate and collective action. We require art organizations to be accountable and transparent to guarantee fair practices and equal opportunities in a too often discriminatory context. We want to pool our knowledges, recreate common spaces, unveil systemic mechanisms, talk about money and competition, regain power and governance over issues concerning artists, fairly redistribute public money, and counter rather than replicate patterns of domination. WFWA received a Swiss Art Award in 2022.
Ramaya Tegegne is an artist, researcher and cultural producer based in Geneva. She had solo exhibitions at Künstlerhaus Stuttgart, Istituto Svizzero in Milan, Ludlow 38 in New York, Kevin Space in Vienna, Galerie Maria Bernheim in Zurich and Fri Art Kunsthalle in Fribourg. She co-founded in 2015 the art and critical theory bookshop La Dispersion in Geneva, and co-ran the art space Forde in Geneva between 2014 and 2016.
Tiphanie Blanc is an editor, critic, and teacher of contemporary art theory based in Brussels. Active within the Wages For Wages Against collective since 2017, she fights for better recognition of artistic labor in Europe.
