5 June 2024 – 3 November 2024
Mika Rottenberg’s art humorously confronts us with the absurdity of our excessive production of commodities. Her films are colourful and painterly, celebrating a surreal poetry whose protagonists often resemble cogwheels in a fantastic machine. In this way, they recall Tinguely’s poetic critique of consumerism expressed in his poetic “machines inutiles”. The exhibition shows a representative selection of Rottenberg’s films and installations, as well as new drawings and interactive kinetic works.

In the 1990s, the introduction of simple programming languages for designers and artists opened up the possibility of experimenting with the interface between humans and machines. This led to the creation of digital tools, experimental interfaces, and interactiv installations that diverged significantly from the original intentions of the software developers. The exhibition unleashed presents a retrospective on the early phase of interactive media in Switzerland and contrasts these with current technologies such as Generative AI and Virtual Reality. In doing so, unexpected parallels with the work of Jean Tinguely emerge. The exhibition is being hosted by Museum Tinguely in conjunction with AGI Open.

Otto Piene (1928−2014) aimed high with his art: to shape a more harmonious, peaceful, and sustainable world. His expansive view explored new media and projected aesthetic forms and experiences into new spatial realms. Structured thematically, the monographic exhibition traces his utopian vision as expressed in works from his most significant series and projects in conversation with his lifelong practice of sketching.
