Press visit | Special exhibition
Leu Art Family. Caresser la peau du ciel
|
|
|
The Leu family is well-known among tattoo fans worldwide. In the late 1960s and 1970s, Felix and Loretta Leu used their tattooing skills to fund extensive travels with their four children Ama, Aia, Filip and Ajja. These years on the road were nourished by artistic curiosity, forming the basis for a distinct family cosmos. Featuring works by all members of the family, the exhibition offers a picture of this special universe, that will be on view at Museum Tinguely from 2 March to 31 October 2021.
The guest curator Christian Jelk and the Leu family will be on site during the opening day and are happy to give further explanations and answer your questions. Find more information about the exhibition >> here.

« le Définitif - c'est le Provisoire »

DIY art, limelight, broken glass – in Jean Tinguely’s multi-facetted oeuvre one encounters everything from machine performances to multisensory spectacles to critiques of consumer culture. Works and documents show his early successes, theatre projects and correspondence. Playfully interactive elements guide the audience through the exhibition, including a presentation of the rarely-shown bottle smasher «Rotozaza No. 2» twice a week.
The new presentation of Museum Tinguely’s collection is curated
by Annja Müller-Alsbach and Anja Seiler. For more information about the new presentation click >> here.

COVID-19 Protection Concept and Chez Jeannot Take away

Our museum is to reopen subject to a carefully planned Covid-19 Protection Concept and in full compliance with both federal and cantonal requirements and the recommendations of the Swiss Museums Association. The purpose of these measures is to protect both the visitors and our staff as effectively as possible against infection. We recommend to plan the visit right away by making use of our online ticketing service.
To participate the press visit there is no time slot registration necessary.
The «Chez Jeannot» bistro remains closed, but offers a take-away with raclette.
