Art for all

Jeffrey Gibson 'boshullichi / inlʋchi – we will continue to change'

The US-American artist Jeffrey Gibson transforms the entrance hall of the Chipperfield Building with a monumental, colour-rich installation that is expected to remain on view until the end of 2026. Painting, sculpture, screen printing, beadwork, ceramics and textiles merge into an immersive total work of art – open to performative activations.

Following his celebrated solo exhibition in the U.S. Pavilion at the 60th Venice Biennale in 2024 and ahead of the unveiling of a new façade work at the Metropolitan Museum in New York in September 2025, Gibson is now realizing his first project in a museum on the European continent: a site-specific work conceived especially for the Haefner Foyer, titled «boshullichi / inlʋchi – we will continue to change».

The title combines two words from the Choctaw language, both meaning 'change': «Boshullichi» means to break something apart, to dismantle and transform it. «Inlʋchi» means to make something different, to restore and rebuild it anew.

Until 2027 in the Garden of Art, Chipperfield Building

Monster Chetwynd 'Zardoz'

With Monster Chetwynd (b. 1973 in London, lives in Zurich), the Kunsthaus Zürich presents the very first commission for its Garden of Art. Rising up in the grounds is a monumental head more than eight metres tall – a sculpture that is both a space for thought and a space for play. Inspired by the grotesque figures of the 16th-century garden at Bomarzo, by the science fiction visions of the 1970s and by the folly tradition, the work invites children and adults alike to step inside and explore it. The climbing frame within transforms monumentality into accessibility and activates the outdoor space designed by David Chipperfield as a genuine Garden of Art for the first time.

By donating to the Gateway Fund, you play a vital role in bringing unique art installations to the city of Zurich and creating unforgettable experiences.
