Exhibiting international and Swiss contemporary artists. Permanently on view: «The 2000 Sculpture?

08/10/2026

“pool8” resists being reduced to an image. The work unfolds through duration, sound, darkness, and the body moving through space. It has to be entered and experienced, rather than only seen.

Save The Date: Opening “Walter De Maria: Energy of Order”, 14. November 2026, 17:00–19:00

The exhibition takes “The 2000 Sculpture” (1992) as its point of departure: 2,000 white plaster rods arranged in a precise rhythm across 500 square metres. Building on this, the exhibition brings together a focused selection spanning nearly three decades of De Maria’s practice, with works from the Bechtler Stiftung and the Cristina and Thomas Bechtler Collection, alongside generous loans from Kunstmuseum Basel, Fondazione Prada and the Dia Art Foundation: the early conceptual drawing “Water Water Water” (1965), the five-part sculpture “Beds of Spikes” (1968–69), the seldom-seen film “Beds of Spikes” (1968–69), and “Es gibt im Universum mehr als eine Milliarde Galaxien” (1988), extending the order of numbers into a cosmic dimension. Between barely visible writing, physical danger, geometric order and immeasurable scale, a fundamental principle of De Maria’s work emerges: precise structures do not limit perception but carry it far beyond what is immediately visible.

Currently on view: “Studio Report 8: Method”, the first exhibition in the new foyer series at the Bechtler Stiftung.

Curated by artists Tereza Glazova and Nicole Hirschi, “Method” brings together six artistic practices that share an attention to process and to the conditions under which works take shape. Rather than approaching artistic production as a linear progression from an initial idea to a finished work, the exhibition considers method as something shaped by circumstance, material processes, personal experience and exchange.

Across the exhibition, objects are collected, dismantled and reassembled; words are gathered and rearranged; materials carry fragments of personal and collective histories. Making extends beyond the studio into walking, observing and collecting, as well as daily routines and collaboration. These conditions are not simply the background to the works but integral to how they develop and take form.

With works by Anna Christen, Luīze Nežberte, Sarah Benslimane, Tereza Glazova, Nicole Hirschi and Timothy Lee Standring.

Sound is central to the experience of “pool8”. Unlike an image, it cannot simply be avoided or shut out. In the darkened tunnel, Nora Turato’s voice becomes a spatial presence: it surrounds the visitor, structures the movement through the work, and turns listening into a physical condition.

The new exhibition series in the foyer of the Bechtler Stiftung opens with Studio Report 8: Method. Curated by artists Tereza Glazova and Nicole Hirschi, the exhibition examines artistic methods and the conditions through which works take shape.

Studio Report is an exhibition series initiated by artists and curators Tereza Glazova and Nicole Hirschi. Since 2024, they have taken the studio as their point of departure, bringing together emerging artistic positions from Switzerland with international guests. At the centre of the series is their curiosity about other artists, their working processes and the questions that shape their practices, as well as an interest in exchange, collective thinking and an ongoing engagement with art. This proximity to artistic practice also informs their curatorial work.

“pool8” opens with the word “YES” as voice, repetition and spatial force.

In Nora Turato’s 22-meter-long tunnel into darkness, language is no longer presented as text to be read, but as sound to be encountered physically. The repeated “YES” shifts between affirmation, insistence and abstraction, becoming a rhythmic structure that guides the experience of the work.

As part of Turato’s ongoing pool cycle, “pool8”continues her investigation into how language circulates, accumulates and changes meaning — here condensed to a single word moving through voice, darkness and space.

We are pleased to announce the upcoming exhibition of Nora Turato.

Conceived as a new site-specific work, 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.

Nora Turato (*1991, Zagreb) is an artist based in Amsterdam. The breadth of her work encompasses text-based installations, prints, books, and performances, placing language at the centre of her practice. Drawing on collected language as well as original text, she develops works that engage contemporary forms of communication, circulation, and expression. Recent solo exhibitions include ICA, London (2025), Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam (2024), Kunsthalle Wien (2024), Sprüth Magers, Los Angeles (2024), and MoMA, New York (2022). Selected group exhibitions include SITE Santa Fe (2025), MUDAM, Luxembourg (2024), Kunsthal Charlottenborg, Copenhagen (2022), Astrup Fearnley Museet, Oslo (2022), and Kunsthalle Basel (2021).

The Bechtler Stiftung is open again after the winter break. We’re looking forward to welcoming you back.

Step into “Schollen aus der Vogelschau” by Lutz & Guggisberg and revisit our permanent installations by Walter De Maria and .

This reel opens a utopian dimension of “Schollen aus der Vogelschau”: architecture as model and speculation, space in a state of folding and suspension. Guggisberg reflects on tipping points, spatial thinking, and video as an electronic layer embedded in the physical; Lutz evokes floating dwellings and the idea of a weightless architecture.
A poetic and visionary reading of the exhibition—where material precision meets speculative imagination.
