Grieder Contemporary presents Lily Ludlow and Group Show with Jorinde Voigt, Sophie von Hellermann, and Nadine Schemmann

Lily Ludlow
Open: June 12 – September 25, 2026
Location: Grieder Contemporary, Lärchentobelstrasse 25, 8700 Küsnacht

Lily Ludlow (b. 1970, Los Angeles, CA) makes paintings that are a mixture of figuration and machine-like curvilinear shapes that either fit together comfortably or jostle against each other and the confines of the painting’s boundaries.
The arabesques and tender grace notes allude to dance; the isolation of a moment in time or a focus on specific gesture signify Ludlow’s deeply felt reality. Heavily worked, each piece becomes a tool for insight and understanding as the painter refines the position of a leg or stylized torso, gradually moving towards a sense of activated stasis.

Group Show
Open: June 12 – September 25, 2026
Location: Grieder Contemporary, Lärchentobelstrasse 25, 8700 Küsnacht

The exhibition brings together Jorinde Voigt, Sophie von Hellermann, and Nadine Schemmann. Across large-scale paintings, images emerge and shift, resisting any fixed form. The works remain open—held between structure, narrative, and sensation.

Join the program at Grieder Contemporary, Küsnacht��Fri, June 12, 11:00 – 18:00
Sat, June 13, 11:00 – 18:00

Bechtlerstiftung presents „Pool8“ by Nora Turato and „The 2000 Sculpture“ by Walter De Maria

„Pool8“ by Nora Turato
Open: May 31 – October 11, 2026
Location: Bechtler, Stiftung Weiherweg 1, 8610 Uster

Conceived as a new site-specific work at the Bechtler Stiftung, pool8 marks the beginning of Nora Turato’s eighth “Pool” cycle. The Amsterdam-based artist structures her practice through recurring series she refers to as “pools,” bringing together different strands of her artistic output within a defined timespan.
Following recent solo exhibitions at ICA, London (2025), and the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam (2024), Turato continues her investigation of installations that combine audio, text, and architectural response. At the Bechtler Stiftung, she uses the pronounced length of the exhibition space to reconfigure the room into an expansive work that spans multiple media. Bringing together sound, perception, and spatial experience, pool8 engages questions of transition, bodily awareness, and the unknown.

„The 2000 Sculpture“ by Walter De Maria
Open: Permanent Exhibition
Location: Bechtler, Stiftung Weiherweg 1, 8610 Uster

The Bechtler Stiftung permanently houses Walter De Maria’s The 2000 Sculpture (1992). One of the world’s largest floor sculptures, it comprises 2,000 white plaster rods, each 50 centimetres long, arranged in twenty rows across a surface of 500 square metres. The resulting pattern creates a tension between predictable regularity and individual perception, underscored by the light and space surrounding the arrangement.

Karma International presents Kateryna Lysovenko and Valie Export

On View: Kateryna Lysovenko, until September 05, 2026
Opening: 12 June 2026
�Location: Karma International Weststrasse 75, 8003 Zurich��

Kateryna Lysovenko (b. 1989, Odesa) is a Ukrainian artist. She focuses on the research of power and ideology and the transition from the Soviet to the contemporary. In her artworks, the victim's image often emerges, no matter which topic she chooses – either the dominance of the art academy or right-wing violence, religious oppression, and harassment.�

_

�On View: Valie Export, until September 05, 2026�
Opening: 12 June 2026
Location: Karma International Weststrasse 70, 8003 Zurich

VALIE EXPORT (b. 1940, Linz) is an Austrian conceptual and media artist whose work critically examines the construction of the female body, identity, and the mechanisms of visibility in public and institutional space. Emerging from the Vienna Actionist context, she became known for her radical interventions that confront spectatorship, gender norms, and the politics of representation. Across performance, photography, film, and installation, her practice consistently interrogates how power is inscribed through the gaze, often using her own body as both subject and medium to disrupt established cultural and artistic hierarchies.
