About

Experience the revolutionary intersection of engineering and artistic expression at the Kunsthaus Zürich. From May 20 to September 20, 2026, the museum presents 'Swiss Kinetic Movements,' a comprehensive exhibition celebrating the pioneering spirit of Swiss sculpture. At the heart of the showcase are the works of Jean Tinguely, a visionary artist known for transforming discarded machinery into rhythmic, lifelike installations that dance within the gallery space. This exhibition invites viewers to engage with physical installations that react to their presence. By utilizing sensors and complex gear systems, the featured sculptures navigate the space between high-tech engineering and organic form, effectively challenging traditional notions of the static art object. By blurring the lines between the mechanical and the human, these kinetic masterpieces force a reconsideration of movement, sound, and presence. Join us in Zurich to witness these captivating structures as they push the boundaries of modern sculpture and invite a playful, interactive dialogue with every visitor.
