Exhibition tour: ‘Guillermo Kuitca’

  • Fri 27 August 2021
  • 6 – 7pm

On occasion of the exhibition ‘Guillermo Kuitca’, please join us for a guided tour with Felicity Lunn, director and curator at the Kunsthaus Centre d'art Pasquart in Biel. Informed by the worlds of architecture, music, theater and cartography, Guillermo Kuitca’s paintings seek to incite the potential for a theatrical experience. This summer, the celebrated Argentine artist returns to Hauser & Wirth Zürich with an exhibition of new and recent work exploring these long-standing motifs. Exhibited across the ground floor of the gallery, the presentation is divided into three distinct bodies of works: paintings from The Family Idiot series first exhibited in Los Angeles in 2019, new works including Kuitca’s House Plan series made during the 2020 lockdown in Buenos Aires, and the artist’s ongoing Theatre series. The exhibition coincides with two major museum presentations: Kuitca’s curated exhibition of the Fondation Cartier’s collection at the Triennale di Milano, and ‘Guillermo Kuitca – Dénouement’at Lille Métropole Musée d’art moderne, the first exhibition devoted to the artist in France for more than twenty years. The tour will be in German. Restricted availability. Free to attend, booking essential.
