Competition: My favorite exhibit

Liselotte Moser (1906-1983) is a discovery. Born in Lucerne, living in Detroit in the US for major part of her life, returned to Stans in Switzerland after the death of her mother. Her self-portraits are ruthless. Her interierieurs are clean. Her teapot with reflections is a masterpiece.

🩺 MORBUS HELVETICUS - La maladie suisse
📍 Cantonale Berne Jura, Kunsthalle Bern
🗓 14 décembre 2025 - 8 février 2026

And if the malaise of the country was more than an emotion - a real «malady» of the body and mind?
MORBUS HELVETICUS explore le concept ...de Heimweh (nostalgia, sentiment d'appartenance, déracinement) tel qu'il fut nommé par des médecins suisses au XVIIᵉ siècle, et le recontextualise aujourd'hui comme une expérience intime, politique et corporelle.

The exhibition explores the notion of home - the «maison», the place of origin, the body, the memory, the language, the relationships - and shows how belonging can be both a refuge and a fracture. Through sensitive and engaging works, the artists invite us to rethink what we have in common with a place, a community or ourselves in a world marked by migration, change and the transformation of identities.

Cette exposition collective s'inscrit dans le cadre de la Cantonale Berne Jura, un réseau d'institutions qui, depuis 2011, met en lumière la création artistique contemporaine des cantons de Berne et du Jura.

À découvrir jusqu'au 8 février 2026. Entrée gratuite avec le #museumspass.

Almost 700 years old - and still da🗝️🏠

The Schwyz house (1336) is the oldest building on the Ballenberg and one of the oldest preserved wooden houses in Switzerland. With its flat Tätsch roof, small windows and side arbors, it tells of living in a time when ...everyday life, construction methods and comfort were very different from today.

Plague trains, the discovery of America, centuries of change: this house has experienced history.📜 During the reconstruction, furniture was deliberately omitted to make the barren everyday life of that time tangible.

Augustin Lesage, "sans titre", entre 1912 et 1913 huile sur toile, détails
Augustin Lesage comes from a family of minors. At the age of 35, he discovers a voice that tells him he will be a painter for a day. From then on, he set about realizing the «dictated» designs by ...les défunts. His oeuvre presents the constructions architecturales imaginaires faites de menus motifs finement ouvragés au petit pinceau, où le principe de symétrie joue un rôle dominant.

The little bit of household - the movie 🎥

Touching, humorous and surprisingly personal, the film tells how everyday objects become carriers of memory, longing and relationship - and why household is much more than routine.

🗓 January 21 | 19-22 ...Clock
📍 Garage Wetzikon

The film will be shown as part of the special exhibition „Das bisschen Haushalt...“, which runs until March 1 at museumwetzikon.
How has everyday life in the household changed over time? Which objects were once taken for granted and are almost forgotten today?

An entertaining journey through the household of days gone by.

At Fondation Beyeler, Kusama's infinity is not spectacle but method. Repetition operates as therapy, discipline, survival. Dots proliferate, nets accumulate, mirrors extend perception - not as metaphor, but as lived necessity.

From early vegetal rhythms in Matsumoto to the obsessive ...labor of Infinity Nets, from soft-sculpture accumulations to immersive mirrored environments, the work unfolds as one continuous gesture: transforming vulnerability into structure.
Infinity here is not abstract. It breathes, multiplies, insists

Not pop iconography, but a lifelong system of resistance.
Fragility converted into rigor.
Infinity, practiced daily ✨

Paul Amar, "L'aquarium", 1979, coquillages sculptés et peints, détail
At the age of fifteen, Paul Amar discovers objects in coquillages by chance in a souvenir boutique. He then set about creating a first series of tableaux in three dimensions. Il meule, ...cisèle and apply moules, bigorneaux and coraux. He then assembles them together with the colle, and then paints them with acrylic paint or ongles. Les tableaux sont illuminés de l'intérieur par des ampoules.
The ornamentation, in vivid and painted colors, sature les scènes et les confine au sacré.
