Annette Barcelo's Hybrid Beings at Haus für Kunst Uri

Annette Barcelo's exhibition 'Bestie, Bellezze e altre Compagne' at Haus für Kunst Uri in Altdorf, Switzerland, runs until May 10, 2026. Curated by Gioia Dal Molin, the show presents paintings, drawings, and prints from the 1970s to 2025, featuring hybrid human-animal figures that resist stable identification. Works include the 'Bellezze' series (2022–23), 'Ein Engel kommt selten allein' (2025), and 'Bestie I–III' (2008). The exhibition juxtaposes Barcelo's work with local artist Heinrich Danioth's pieces, highlighting different pictorial conventions. Barcelo (b. 1943, Basel) has shown at Manifesta 15, Aargauer Kunsthaus, and Galerie Anne de Villepoix. The venue, a renovated 19th-century building with the Danioth Pavilion (2009), overlooks the Uri mountain landscape.
