Kunsthaus Glarus, Glarus
The Kunsthaus Glarus offers a platform for the presentation of Swiss and international contemporary art as well as the collection holdings of the Glarus Art Association and regional art.
Since the mid-1990s, Kunsthaus Glarus has made a name for itself in the Swiss museum landscape as well as the international art scene with pointed positions of contemporary art and has become one of the centers of Swiss contemporary art despite its peripheral location. The orientation of the Kunsthaus Glarus pursues the work of artists, especially of a younger generation, who have never or hardly been shown in institutional contexts in Switzerland. Thus, well-known Swiss artists such as Urs Fischer, Mathis Gasser, Raphael Hefti, Ugo Rondinone, Kilian Rüthemann or Vanessa Safavi had their first institutional solo exhibition at Kunsthaus Glarus. Likewise, international positions were shown for the first time in an institutional setting in Switzerland, such as Maja Bajevic, Nina Beier, Bonnie Camplin, Peter Doig, Shana Moulton or Yorgos Sapountizis.
As the only major art institution in the canton of Glarus, the Kunsthaus is responsible for the art historical heritage of the region and continuously builds bridges between contemporary positions and the collection holdings of the Glarus Art Association. In addition to the program of temporary exhibitions, works from the collections of the Glarner Kunstverein are shown selectively. Once a year there is an exhibition with a focus on Glarus art. The traditional unjuried annual exhibition alternates with a thematic or juried exhibition every two years.
