Kunsthalle Bern summer program links climate crisis, violence, and technology
Kunsthalle Bern's summer program features Tai Shani's first solo exhibition in Switzerland, the first part of a new opera series by Jota Mombaña, and a performance by Ivan Cheng as part of the annual RESPONSES series. A new public art program, Horizon of Forms, launched in collaboration with Museumsquartier Bern and Bernisches Historisches Museum, honors former director Harald Szeemann and is inaugurated by Swiss artist Vanessa Billy. The exhibitions explore a continuum between geology, body, and infrastructure, framing climate, violence, and technology as interdependent conditions.
