Dalai Lama
Photographs by Manuel Bauer. 1990–2024
“He is more than simply a professional: he is a close friend of mine. He also knows a great deal about Tibet, about the Tibetan community, and he has spent years making himself familiar with our culture. He understands Tibet comprehensively, as he does the exile community; and he knows me very well too. It is this knowledge that allows his pictures to say so much about their subjects.”
The 14th Dalai Lama about the photographer Manuel Bauer in interview recorded in 2004 for Swiss national television corporation SRG SSR.

Collective Threads
Anna Andreeva at the Red Rose Silk Factory
Anna Andreeva (1917–2008) was a Soviet textile designer and leading artist at the famous Red Rose Silk Factory in Moscow, a site of collective female design labor that shaped the fashion and material culture of late socialism. Collective Threads contributes to the recent interest in textile art with a focus on industrial-scale textile production deliberately organized along collective lines within the Communist system. It showcases Andreeva’s outstanding art through lavish illustrations, supplemented by scholarly essays that place Andreeva’s work and career in a historical and artistic context.

It explores the significance of his art today and highlights its resonance with contemporary artists.

Katharina Schmidt Sigmar Polke. The Journey
1980–1981
In 1980, German artist Sigmar Polke (1941–2010) and Britta Zoellner, a close friend of Polke and an artist herself, set off for Southeast Asia from the vibrant art scene in Germany’s Rhineland region. A planned period of quiet work on Bali evolved into a 13-month journey from Indonesia via Singapore to Papua New Guinea, Australia, Tasmania, and back to Malaysia and Thailand. Fascinated by the ancient high cultures, the gamelan music and wayang puppet theatre, they increasingly turned their attention to Indigenous societies and their ways of life, but above all to nature, the tropical fauna and flora.
Based on Zoellner’s diary entries, films and photographs taken during their extensive tour, as well as other unpublished sources, distinguished art historian Katharina Schmidt traces this little-known journey in chronological detail for the first time. She examines how the intense experience of other cultures and grandiose landscapes, including the discovery of cosmic events through meteorites, moved Polke. She explores how rich nuances of color impressions and a wealth of observations and experiences shaped his future art, his concept of nature, and his ideas of space and time. Empathy for the Indigenous peoples’ fate under colonial rule, and for a nature endangered by exploitation of natural resources such as uranium or gold, reveals the attentive and far-sighted qualities of this quiet, concentrated journey undertaken by Polke and his companion.

May 26, 2026 marks the centenary of jazz icon Miles Davis (1926–91)
A photo book as a tribute to Miles Davis, one of the most eminent musical personalities of all genres
Around 100 photographs taken between 1971 and 1989, some published here for the first time, capture Miles Davis’ fascinating personality in private surroundings and in concert
Miles Davis—Three Days in Malibu
Photographs by Ralph Quinke
On May 26, 2026, Miles Davis (1926–91), an icon of jazz and one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century, would have celebrated his centenary. This book, published to mark the occasion, brings together photographs of Miles Davis taken by German photographer and documentary filmmaker Ralph Quinke between 1971 and 1989. The centerpiece is a reportage that was photographed in 1989: together with Swiss journalist Marco Meier, Quinke traveled to Malibu to accompany the artist for three days and interview him for an issue of Swiss art and culture magazine Du. He got surprisingly close with his camera, taking shots of Miles boxing, in his car, in the kitchen, while painting, sometimes posing, or as an observer of him in conversation. Du’s issue 843 of August 1989, in which Quinke and Meier’s reportage featured, is long out of print and still sought-after by Miles fans. Inspired by German music journalist and jazz expert Arne Reimer, this photo book draws on Quinke’s unique archive material. A revised version of the 1989 interview and a new conversation between Quinke, Meier, and Reimer supplement this “director’s cut.”
A selection of the best images that Quinke took of Miles Davis between 1971 and 1987 rounds off this unique homage to one of the most eminent personalities of all musical genres.
Ralph Quinke is a photographer, author, and director of TV features, documentaries, and reports. He has worked for German media such as Spiegel TV, Stern, Die Zeit, Rolling Stone, and others.
Arne Reimer is a photographer, music journalist, and jazz expert. He has written and contributed to various books on American jazz musicians and on American photographer Lisette Model.

King Stag
Offers the first English translation of a modern adaption of King Stag, an 18th-century Italian fairy-tale play, by Swiss dramatist René Morax (1873–1963) and director Werner Wolff (1886–1972)
Features newly produced photographs of Sophie Taeuber-Arp’s iconic marionettes created for the play’s first production as puppetry in 1918
Essays by distinguished scholars explore the genesis of Morax and Wolff’s version of King Stag, place it in historical context, and highlight its significance
Carlo Gozzi’s Tragicomedy in a Staging for Marionettes by Sophie Taeuber-Arp, René Morax, and Werner Wolff
King Stag is a play originally written in 1762 by Italian playwright and champion of commedia dell’arte Carlo Gozzi (1720–1806). It is about love and conspiracy at the court of King Deramo. In search of a bride, Deramo falls victim to the intrigues of his adversary Tartaglia and is temporarily transformed into a stag.
In 1918, on the occasion of a major art exhibition staged in Zurich by the modernist association Schweizer Werkbund, Swiss dramatist René Morax (1873–1963) and director Werner Wolff (1886–1972) produced a modern adaption of Gozzi’s fairy-tale play that turned it into an amusing Dada parody of Sigmund Freud and Carl Gustav Jung’s psychoanalysis, which had caused much controversy in Zurich at the time. The production was conceived as puppetry, for which avant-garde artist Sophie TaeuberArp (1889–1943) designed the stage sets and an ensemble of 17 radically abstracted marionettes. Her designs broke with every tradition of the genre and were influenced by her work in fine and applied art, as well as her experience with expressive dance. This book offers the first English translation of Morax and Wolff’s adaption of King Stag. The text is supplemented with photographs of Taeuber-Arp’s iconic marionettes. Essays by distinguished scholars explore the genesis of the original 1918 production and place it in historical context, shed new light on the play, and highlight its significance for Switzerland’s avant-garde.

Explores previously neglected aspects of Félix Vallotton’s art, including his work as an illustrator and press cartoonist, his sense of humor, and the significance of the color green for his oeuvre
Exhibition: Vallotton Forever. The Retrospective at the MCBA in Lausanne (October 24, 2025 to February 15, 2026)
Vallotton Forever
Félix Vallotton (1865–1925) remains a fascinating artist to this day. His paintings and prints, as well as his work as an illustrator and press cartoonist, are characterized by detached and critical observation, satirical sharpness, and a strong desire for independence. A century after his death, film director and screenwriter Lionel Baier, art historians Dario Gamboni and Choghakate Kazarian, literary scholar and writer Daniel Maggetti, and curators Catherine Lepdor and Katia Poletti share their views on Vallotton’s work and their passion for him and his art.
Vallotton Forever is published to coincide with a major retrospective at the Musée cantonal des Beaux-Arts (MCBA) in Vallotton’s native city of Lausanne, which is home to the world’s most comprehensive collection of his works. The volume celebrates an extraordinary artist who is considered one of the greats of art history in both his native Switzerland and his adopted home of France. It brings together key works from all periods of Vallotton’s career, from the early years and the icons of the Nabis period in the 1890s to his sophisticated dialogue with tradition in the modern era that marks his later years.

El Lissitzky and Switzerland
El Lissitzky is one of the most eminent protagonists of Soviet avant-garde and the legendary Vkhutemas art school
This is the first survey of El Lissitzky’s relationship to Switzerland and the reception of his work in this country
Highlights El Lissitzky’s significant influence on the evolution of New Typography and graphic design in Switzerland
Brings together for the first time all of Lissitzky’s important works held in the collections of Swiss museums, including parts of a previously unpublished portfolio
Exhibition: Looking for El Lissitzky at the Museo Villa dei Cedri in Bellinzona (September 20, 2025 to January 25, 2026)
El Lissitzky (1890–1941), one of the most eminent figures of Soviet avant-garde art, had been in contact with the Swiss art scene and its like-minded protagonists since 1919. In 1924–25, he spent several months at a sanatorium in the Swiss canton of Ticino to treat his pulmonary tuberculosis. Despite the illness, he created key works in his oeuvre during this time, spanning fields of architecture, graphic design and typography, and fine art. Together with Jean Arp, he wrote the book Die Kunstismen (“The Artisms”), which was published by a Swiss publishing house in 1925 and became a milestone in the evolution of New Typography and graphic art in Switzerland. He also contributed to the Swiss architecture magazine ABC, Beiträge zum Bauen.
A century later, this book takes a fresh look at El Lissitzky from the perspective of his host country at the time, arranged in thematic chapters about architecture, typography, and graphic design, Lissitzky as an artist and theorist, and his relationship to Switzerland. The illustrations bring together for the first time all the important works by the great avant-gardist in the collections of Swiss museums, including parts of a previously unpublished portfolio held at the Musee d’art et d’histoire in Geneva.

Features previously unpublished sketches and drawings by Leiko Ikemura
Exhibition: Leiko Ikemura—The Sea in the Mountains at the Bündner Kunstmuseum Chur (August 23 to November 23, 2025)
In 1989, Japanese artist Leiko Ikemura, born in Japan in 1951 and living in Europe since 1972, came to Switzerland to work in the Grisons mountains for a full year. This retreat proved to be a period of radical artistic reorientation. Inspired by intense experiences of nature, her paintings of that time merge humans and their existential themes into an infinite cosmos.
In Leiko Ikemura: The Sea in the Mountains, published in conjunction with a solo exhibition at the Bündner Kunstmuseum Chur, Ikemura talks to curator Damian Jurt about the search for a new beginning that brought her to the Grisons, and about the artistic breakthroughs that actually propelled her work into new spheres. This lively dialogue is supplemented with photographs, reproductions of Ikemura’s drawings and paintings, as well as photographic documentation of the exhibition.

Scholarly essays present latest research findings on the art of Japanese woodblock printmaking
Explains Japanese printmaking techniques and types of paper used
Offers insights into the art printmaking in Japan today
Exhibition: Impressions du Japon at the Musée Jenisch Vevey, Switzerland (November 28, 2025 to March 29, 2026)
In 2015, the Swiss Musée Jenisch Vevey received a bequest that also comprised around 2,000 Japanese colored woodblock prints (ukiyo-e). Many of them originate from the workshops of the most famous artists of the Utagawa school, who were active between 1765 and 1930 and are rarely represented in European collections. They stand out due to their fine printing technique, the use of precious materials and vibrant colors, as well as their excellent state of preservation. The collection also includes some 350 sketches and final preparatory drawings pasted onto the block for printing (shita-e), which are usually destroyed during the printing process. They offer an impressive insight into the artists’ creative process before a final drawing is submitted to the printer for execution. Impressions of Japan features 200 ukiyo-e, shita-e, and sketches from the mid 19th to early 20th century. They depict kabuki theater scenes, textile art, the joys and pleasures of Japanese society, famous fairy tales, traveling in and around the landscapes of Japan. Scholarly essays and an appendix offering explanations of printmaking techniques, types of paper used, and about printmaking in 21st-century Japan supplement the images. The beautifully designed book will appeal particularly to experts and lovers of colored Japanese woodblock prints.
Anne Deltour is curator of prints and drawings at Musée Jenisch Vevey in Switzerland, where Margaux Honegger also works as assistant curator.

The Tea Towel
Perspectives on an Everyday Item
Everyone associates something with the tea towel: memories, experiences, anecdotes, likes and dislikes
This illustrated reader explores the kitchen towel from literary, journalistic, artistic, technical, and sociopolitical perspectives
The contributions from very different voices complement each other and bring to light new references to current topics
“Can you help me and dry the dishes?” The
tea towel is an integral part of everyday life, even in the age of the dishwasher
The dishwasher has robbed the good old kitchen towel of some of its practical significance. Nevertheless, it remains present in many households, hand-woven or industrially produced, lint-free or absorbent, dirty or clean, inherited or replaceable. In some kitchens, special attention is also required, as there is one for the hands and one for the dishes.
For a long time, specially made kitchen towels were a luxury and reserved for the upper classes. Industrial mass production has changed this, and today two developments can be observed: while kitchen towels are displayed as design objects in museum stores and craft stores, they are also standardized cheap goods.
In The Tea Towel: Perspectives on an Everyday Item, 13 authors, artists, and designers enter into a dialogue with the object and examine it from a literary, journalistic, artistic, technical, and sociopolitical perspective. The contributions of very different tones complement each other and create new references. In text and images, the book encourages a rediscovery of the everyday kitchen towel as a sensual object with which many socially relevant topics are associated.

Landscapes of the Soul
July 26, 2025 marks the 150th birthday of Carl Gustav Jung, founder of analytical psychology
Switzerland is a hub of psychoanalysis with a global reach 12 topical essays contextualize C. G. Jung’s thought and influence in the overall history of psychoanalysis in Switzerland
Includes a conversation with acclaimed British-Swiss writer and philosopher Alain de Botton
Features visual material and documents from previously inaccessible archives published here for the first time
Switzerland as a psycho-geographical area and hub of psychoanalysis with a global reach
C. G. Jung and the Exploration of the Human Psyche in Switzerland
Switzerland is home to illustrious explorers of the soul such as Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712–78) and Carl Gustav Jung (1875–1961). Historically and still today, the small country in the heart of Europe has a higher density of psychiatry and psychoanalytic hotspots than almost any other place in the world. From Geneva to Zurich, from Kreuzlingen, on the shore of Lake Constance, to Monte Verità, near Ascona and the Italian border, a dense network of names and traditions stretches across the map. Switzerland as a psycho-geographic space became a psychoanalytic hub with a global reach. Coinciding with the 150th anniversary of C. G. Jung’s birth, this book for the first time contextualizes his thought and influence within the overall history of psychoanalysis in Switzerland. Besides Jung, its protagonists include Ludwig Binswanger, pioneer of the existential “Daseinsanalysis”; Jean Piaget, best-known for his research of child development; Goldy and Paul Parin-Matthèy and Fritz Morgenthaler, cofounders of the Zurich school of ethno-psychoanalysis; and Judith le Soldat, with her radical feminist Nimbus theory.
In Landscapes of the Soul, 12 thematic essays by distinguished authors and a conversation with acclaimed British-Swiss writer and philosopher Alain de Botton are supplemented and put into perspective with key historical texts and artworks, as well as other images and documents, many of them from archives that have so far been virtually inaccessible.

New book by renowned GermanSwiss artist duo Cortis & Sonderegger
Cortis & Sonderegger’s previous book Double Take (2018) has been a major international success Cortis & Sonderegger’s work is represented in major international collections, such as Fotostiftung Schweiz (Winterthur, Switzerland), Museum Folkwang (Essen, Germany), The Battery (San Francisco), Museum of Fine Arts (Houston), The Nelson Atkins Museum of Art, (Kansas City), Museum of Contemporary Photography (Chicago), Karl & Marilynn Thoma Art Foundation (Dallas), and MoMA (New York)
Exhibition: Studio at Museum im Bellpark in Kriens, near Lucerne (August 23 to November 2, 2025)
Jojakim Cortis and Adrian Sonderegger Studio
At first glance, the images appear to show an artists’ studio, that of German-Swiss artist duo Cortis & Sonderegger, with its clutter of everyday objects. Yet, suddenly, perspective shifts—large things appear small, and small ones appear impossibly big. In Studio, Jojakim Cortis and Adrian Sonderegger play a sophisticated game with and about the authenticity of photography. Boundaries between the genuine and the fake become blurred.
Cortis & Sonderegger built a detailed model of their workspace near Zurich complete with much of its furnishings, of which they took countless photographs. These images turn our viewing experience upside down and invite us to take a closer look. The artists’ play with reality becomes visible on various levels: the view from the model’s window shows the real studio space; proportions look weirdly distorted; and occasionally, Cortis & Sonderegger themselves appear as protagonists.
In today’s world, with myriad images produced every day, Cortis & Sonderegger’s Studio series constitutes a counterpoint to the latest developments in photography and artificial intelligence-based image generation. A brief text by the Catalan conceptual artist, photographer, writer, educator, and curator Joan Fontcuberta rounds off this intriguing volume.
Jojakim Cortis and Adrian Sonderegger are based in Zurich, where they work as freelance artists, photographers, and educators. They began their artistic collaboration during their studies at Zurich University of the Arts in 2001.

The View Out of My Window
A photographic portrait of ten Asian megacities and their architecture
A visual reflection on 21st-century cityscapes and urban developments
First book on the work of Goran Potkonjak
A Journey through Far Eastern Megacities. Bangkok, Busan, Guangzhou, Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur, Seoul, Shenzhen, Singapore, Taipei, Tokyo
Since 2015, Swiss photographer Goran Potkonjak has visited ten major Asian cities: Bangkok, Busan, Guangzhou, Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur, Seoul, Shenzhen, Singapore, Taipei, and Tokyo. His large-scale art project documents these megacities and their architecture through images taken from two different viewpoints: from the upper floors of high-rise buildings and at street level. The result is a multilayered, precise view of each of these vibrant metropolises.
The View Out of My Window brings together 200 photographs from this artistic research—20 views of each city. The book thus reveals the essence of our urban present in a fascinating way: such vast cities thrive on their contradictions, in which inexhaustible energy often alternates with surprising calmness. Goran Potkonjak’s images impressively illustrate this balance.
Goran Potkonjak, born in 1968 in Croatia, is a Swiss photographer whose long-term photographic projects focus on urban and social topics.

Thilo Heinzmann
First monograph on distinguished German artist Thilo Heinzmann in more than a decade
Charts the evolution of Heinzmann’s art throughout his entire career to date
Lavishly illustrated with high-quality color reproductions
For more than three decades, German artist Thilo Heinzmann has been expanding our understanding of what a painting can be. With a material palette spanning the extremes of the commonplace—like chipboard, Styrofoam, and cotton wool—and the rare—including precious, raw pigments from across the world—he has developed a singular visual language that is both rich and restrained.
The artist’s first monograph in a decade, Thilo Heinzmann charts his artistic evolution since the early 1990s, when he was a student of Thomas Bayrle at Frankfurt’s Städelschule and an assistant to Martin Kippenberger, through to the wind-blown bursts of unfixed pigments, glass shards, and rhythmic marks in oil paint of the “pigment paintings” that form the core of his art today. A conversation between Heinzman and curator Mark Godfrey and an essay by writer Kristian Vistrup Madsen expand on the recurring fascinations with composition, color, and texture that structure his oeuvre, while author Vanessa Onwuemezi responds to his art in distinctive poetic prose.
Detailed reproductions of Heinzmann’s paintings allow the viewer to get close to their highly tactile surfaces.
Thilo Heinzmann is a German visual artist and professor of painting at Berlin University of the Arts. He is a graduate of Frankfurt’s renowned Städelschule, where he studied with Thomas Bayrle, and worked as an assistant to Martin Kippenberger (1993–95).

First monograph on the work of Swiss artist Maria Ceppi
Texts by distinguished authors and lavish illustrations shed light on Maria Ceppi’s multilayered work and offer insight into her exploratory, experimental way of working
Exhibition: Maria Ceppi—Hybrid Spaces at the Kunstmuseum Thurgau in Warth, Switzerland (October 2, 2025 to March 8, 2026)
Maria Ceppi Works
Swiss artist Maria Ceppi’s broad repertoire ranges from small-size works to monumental installations and sculptures, from site-specific to participatory projects. The theme of her works often revolves around the tension between naturalness and artificiality. Born in 1963, Ceppi completed her education at art schools in Switzerland and Paris as well as during a studio residency in Philadelphia. Throughout her career, she has been inspired by everyday life. For her works, she uses a wide variety of materials, such as soap, bronze, aluminum and other metals, plastic, or natural products, as well as countless found objects and components gathered from households, trade, and industry.
Ceppi’s small objets cultes form a common thread running through her entire oeuvre of more than three decades. Found objects are stripped of their functional and meaningful context and transformed into new works with an autonomous sculptural presence in astonishing combinations and constellations. Especially in her recent monumental Hybrid Shapes, that transformation and merging come to unprecedented effect. This first-ever monograph on Maria Ceppi brings together her multilayered and heterogeneous oeuvre and offers an insight into the artist’s exploratory and experimental method.
Mirjam Fischer is a Zurich-based freelance editor in the fields of art, photography, and design.

Translates the legendary 1981 Swiss movie Reisender Krieger (“The Travelling Warrior”) into an attractive photo book
Around 180 carefully scanned still frames make the volume a treat for cinephiles, architecture lovers, and anyone who remembers 1970s Switzerland
A humorous document of a Switzerland in a time of transition
Reisender Krieger
Still Frames and Interviews on Christian Schocher’s Movie
In the search for the one true Swiss road movie, Christian Schocher’s Reisender Krieger (“The Traveling Warrior”) of 1981 is the only choice. Everything about it was visionary: the direction, the camera work, the use of amateur actors, and the screenplay based on Homer’s Odyssey. A sales representative named Krieger, working for a cosmetics brand, sets off in his Citroën CX car on an odyssey across 1970s Switzerland—a country in a state of upheaval and decline. The camera revels in parking lots, construction cranes and vast concrete structure, farms, hair salons, discotheques, motorway service plazas, cheap hotel rooms, and dim bars.
This book transfers Reisender Krieger, shot in 16 mm-format, into a photo book featuring some 180 carefully scanned still frames. A conversation with director Christian Schocher and cameraman Clemens Klopfenstein, as well as an essay by Swiss writer Zora del Buono, round off this volume, making it a unique document of a Switzerland long gone that still captivates us today, very much in the spirit of Swissborn Robert Frank’s famous The Americans.
Frank Heer is a Zurich-based freelance author and editor for music and film with Swiss Sunday newspaper NZZ am Sonntag. He is a musician and has released numerous albums with various ensembles.
Zora del Buono is a Swiss architect, journalist, and award-winning novelist. She was a cofounder and culture editor of the German maritime culture and travel magazine Mare, serving also as its deputy editor-in-chief (2001–08).

Spillover
Switzerland’s financial center has faced a multitude of major challenges since 2007, from the rescue of its largest bank UBS and the end of Swiss banking secrecy to the downfall of Credit Suisse
Features a unique series of portraits of some 90 decision-makers who played key roles in overcoming these crises in Switzerland and Europe
Views of landscapes in Greece, Ireland, and Spain shaped by the bursting real-estate bubble in 2008 and images showing the simultaneous construction boom in Switzerland form a striking testimony to these events
An essay by economic historian Tobias Straumann and a chronology of events between 2007 and 2023 offer a new perspective on the Swiss financial center and invite reflection on its future
Switzerland’s Financial Center in Crisis Mode—Portraits of Decision-Makers
Switzerland as a leading international financial center has faced a number of challenges in recent years: the global financial crisis of 2007–09; the near-collapse of UBS, the country’s largest bank, in 2008; disputes over Swiss banking secrecy; the 2010 Euro crisis; and, most recently, the emergency takeover of Credit Suisse by its rival UBS. In Spillover, Peter Püntener, a freelance photographer and former employee of the Swiss National Bank, attempts to visually capture these far-reaching events.
At the core of the book are portraits of around 90 decision-makers who were closely involved in overcoming these crises. They are supplemented with views of rooms and buildings of Swiss and European institutions where the decisions were actually made. The effects of the bursting real-estate bubble in individual eurozone countries in 2008 become strikingly visible in views of landscapes in Greece, Ireland, and Spain, which are juxtaposed with pictures of the simultaneous construction boom in Switzerland.
An essay by Tobias Straumann, professor of modern and economic history at the University of Zurich, quotes from interviews with portrayed protagonists, and a chronology of events supplement this visual account of the greatest challenges the Swiss financial center has been facing in decades, and invite a reflection on its future.
Peter Püntener is a Zurich-based freelance photographer. Holding a degree in economic history, he worked at the Swiss National Bank for 27 years before turning to photography.

Loving Shedhalle—Resonance
40 Years of Shedhalle Zurich
Marks the 40th anniversary of Zurich’s Shedhalle in November 2025
Gathers voices from four decades and current texts by people involved with Shedhalle
Explores the visionary potential of 40 years of Shedhalle and its relationship to current artistic, curatorial, and sociopolitical causes
Zurich’s Shedhalle is a trailblazer of current efforts towards institutional change, a seismograph and resonance chamber for cultural–political tendencies
Research as an artistic practice, combining art and activism as well as feminist, queer, and post-migrant and post-colonial critical attitudes have been core elements of the Shedhalle program from the outset
Zurich’s Shedhalle: a laboratory for new exhibition formats, experimental artistic practices, and new forms of knowledge generation
Zurich’s Shedhalle is a space for process-based art on the city’s lakeshore. It was originally part of a former textile mill that was converted first into an assembly plant for telephones and radios, and in the early 1980s into a campus known as the Rote Fabrik (the red factory), hosting a theater and concert hall, a restaurant and bar, studios for visual and performing artists, and art spaces. Since its inception in 1985, the Shedhalle has been a place where independent artists, communities, and activists come together and work. New exhibition formats, as well as artistic practices and forms of knowledge generation, have evolved here, often ahead of their time. They reflect different emancipatory and socio-critical concerns of their respective times.
Loving Shedhalle marks the venue’s 40th anniversary. It reflects on its history, artistic and curatorial strategies, and social resonance chambers, and explores the concerns negotiated here over all these years. The book’s title reflects the idea of love as an affective practice: causes are deeply interwoven with emotions, convictions, and decisions. At the Shedhalle, strategies and formats unfolded that aimed at making art effective beyond art itself.
The volume brings together voices from people involved with Shedhalle in various manners and roles, from the early days until the present. It highlights the place’s visionary potential of four decades and explores how the presence is moved by echoes of the past that continue to give artistic, curatorial, and sociopolitical impulses.
Michael Hiltbrunner is a Zurich-based cultural anthropologist, archive specialist, and curator.
Carla Peca is a doctoral fellow at the Institute for the History and Theory of Architecture (gta) at ETH Zurich, working also as a freelance curator.

Other Voices, Other Rooms
An Exhibition as Memory for a Future
Documents an extraordinary art and building project by curator Adam Szymczyk in Zurich
Other Voices, Other Rooms gave art the freedom and publicity it needed and enabled the employees of the Zurich City Police to participate in the realization of art for their workplace
The book design responds to the different phases of the process-based art and building project
From house of art to house of the police: an extraordinary artand-architecture project in Zurich
The new building for the City of Zurich Police’s criminal investigation branch, completed in 2021, was a house of art before it became a house of the police. For Other Voices, Other Rooms, an extraordinary art-and-architecture project, curator Adam Szymczyk invited international artists to engage with the building’s architecture and institutional context. The resulting works by Ross Birrell (Scotland, UK), Banu Cennetog˘lu (Turkey), Zehra Dog˘an (Kurdistan, Turkey), David Harding (Scotland, UK), Hiwa K (Germany, born in Kurdistan, Turkey), and Daniel Knorr (Germany, born in Romania) were on public display in the building in 2021, before the police moved in.
Only David Harding’s contribution has remained as a permanent and publicly accessible artwork, a text installation that is now embedded in the concrete floor outside the building’s main entrance. However, the entire process of the project was documented by Zurich-based photographer Melanie Hofmann. A selection of her shots is also permanently connected to the building in the shape of screen prints on interior walls. They bear witness to its past life and preserve the spaces of thought created by art.
Through images and texts, this lavishly designed book offers insights into a unique art project that responds to the challenges and potential of art and building in a way that is as consistent as it is productive.
Adam Szymczyk is an art critic and curator. He served as director and chief curator of Kunsthalle Basel (2003–14), and was artistic director of Documenta 14 in Kassel and Athens (2017).

Anna Monika Jost, Bruno Monguzzi, Batia Suter
Graphic designer Anna Monika Jost, born in 1944, has worked for major companies such as Olivetti, FIAT, the French department store chain Prisunic, and SNCF. Bold use of color and the stylistic openness that shaped her time are hallmarks of her work, which is as significant as it is fascinating, and due to be rediscovered.
Bruno Monguzzi, born in 1941, is one of Switzerland’s foremost graphic designers, enjoying worldwide acclaim. His work is characterized by clarity, precision, and a deep understanding of Gestalt psychology. His clients include companies such as Olivetti and IBM as well as institutions such as the Musee d’Orsay in Paris. He has left his mark on Swiss graphic design also as a teacher and curator.
Artist Batia Suter, born in 1967, is famous for large-format image montages and experimental printing techniques. She combines scientific and popular pictorial traditions in unexpected ways, questioning pictorial categories and creating new dialogues between disciplines. Her work demonstrates the enduring power of the printed image—even in the digital age.
Switzerland’s Federal Office of Culture has awarded the 2025 Swiss Grand Award for Design to Anna Monika Jost, Bruno Monguzzi, and Batia Suter. This book introduces each of them through a concise text and an interview, as well as a brief biography, illustrated with images from their archives.
The Federal Office of Culture in Bern is part of Switzerland’s Federal Department of Home Affairs. Its responsibility is to promote Swiss culture in the fields of literature, performance arts, film, visual arts, and design, and to preserve the country’s cultural heritage.
