Ai Weiwei - Interlacing

May 28 - August 21, 2011
Fotomuseum Winterthur
(Main Gallery and Gallery)

For the first time a comprehensive exhibition of photography and videos by Ai Weiwei, one of the most complex contemporary artists from China, has been organized. As a sculptor, conceptual artist, photographer, and architect, Ai Weiwei has created a political oeuvre that has excited much attention around the world. Ai Weiwei is a seismograph of current topics and social problems, who, as great "multiplier" and communicator, channels life into art and art into life.

Alexander Rodchenko -
Revolution in Photography

May 28 - August 14, 2011
Fotomuseum Winterthur
(Gallery of Collections)

The exhibition Alexander Rodchenko - Revolution in Photography focuses on the Russian Constructivist Alexander Rodchenko, whose work spanned many disciplines - he was a painter, sculptor, designer, and photographer. He conquered traditional photography with the slogan "Our duty is to experiment!" in 1924, which resulted in a reconsideration of the concept and role of photography.

Things will get better -
Photographs by Hans Steiner

May 28 - October 9, 2011
Fotostiftung Schweiz

The exhibition Things will get better - Photographs by Hans Steiner shows a part of the Bernese photographer's broad work, which previously received little attention, and presents a surprising and fresh view of the profound changes that affected Switzerland in the postwar period. Leisure, fashion, and sports proved to be Steiner's key themes. In his unconventional images, he casts light on urban and rural everyday life, focusing especially on the changes in a society in which consumption and pleasure were becoming more and more important.
