    Jean-Jacques Lebel
    «La Chose» de Tinguely, quelques philosophes et «Les Avatars de Vénus»

    13 April – 18 September 2022

    Jean-Jacques Lebel, a pioneer of action art, was the author of the first Happening in Europe on 14 July 1960: L’enterrement de la Chose de Tinguely. His passion for Nietzsche and Bakunin – among other philosophers – meets Tinguely‘s passion for Kropotkin and Bergson. With his video installation Les Avatars de Vénus, he addresses the question of the collective memory of archetypes, which overdetermines the history of the arts from one era to the next and from one culture to the next.

    Merci Seppi
    A wonderful gift

    17 November 2021 – 13 March 2022

    Josef «Seppi» Imhof was Jean Tinguely’s assistant from 1971 until the artist’s death in 1991. During these years, when he was Tinguely’s closest and most constant companion, he collected a large number of works on paper, including drawings, prints, collages, letters, sketches, carefully executed watercolours and things that were dashed off quickly. Seppi Imhof has donated his collection of original works on paper to Museum Tinguely and now it will be on display for the first time.
