Pipilotti Rist
Kunsthaus Zürich
Opening 26 February – 8 May 2016

A pioneering figure in video art, Pipilotti Rist has achieved international fame for her sensual and audacious video installations that tackle conventions an taboos in an entertaining, ironic and self-confident way. This exhibition presents key works from the beginning of her international career, including the early single-channel video with which she became known in the 1980’s. Rist will also be making a large-format installation in the expansive space of the Bührle gallery specially for the exhibition.

Twisted
The Gallery of Hong Kong Art School
Opening 25 February – 10 March 2016

Six Higher Diploma in Fine Art students take on the task of revealing what the concept of ‘twisted’ means to them. They engaged in a collective brainstorm whereby a visual dialogue is developed through a series of turn-based actions. The results are exhibited in this display of art by some of Hong Kong’s up-and-coming artists.
