ArtAsiaPacific's June 2026 guide highlights six major exhibitions across Switzerland, featuring solo shows by Shuang Li at Kunsthalle Basel, Angelica Mesiti at Museum Tinguely, Pierre Huyghe at Fondation Beyeler, Marisol at Kunsthaus Zürich, Ju Ting at Galerie Urs Meile, and Jiajia Zhang at Vontobel. The exhibitions span video installations, sculptural painting, and biological-machine environments, with Shuang Li's "Alliance" marking her first solo institutional show in Europe and Marisol receiving her first major European retrospective.
This roundup matters because it showcases the breadth of contemporary art programming in Switzerland, from emerging artists like Ju Ting and Jiajia Zhang to established figures like Pierre Huyghe and the late Marisol. The inclusion of artists working across digital media, performance, and hybrid materials reflects current trends in art-making, while the institutional collaborations (e.g., Marisol's retrospective co-organized with four museums) signal the growing internationalization of Swiss exhibition spaces.
