The starting point for the conversion of the concrete skeleton hall encompassing 1000 square meters was the requirement that Matias Spescha’s work could be exhibited and presented in the best possible way. Curators Venice Spescha and Markus Hilfiker worked closely with the architects and museum designers gasser,derungs to create a spatial concept adequately welcoming the artist’s monumental works, particularly from his latest period.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>A Space for Dialogue<\/h4><\/div>In the former production hall, Matias Spescha’s work is shown from varying perspectives in seasonal exhibitions. The vast hall allows for expansive installations, for large paintings well as smaller formats, such as drawings and prints.
\nExhibitions are conceived as individual, seasonal projects. The SPAZI SPESCHA does not follow the concept of estate deposits with permanent displays. The intention is to shed light on the vast collection’s many facets over time and offer the visitors new insights into the artist’s oeuvre. Spescha’s legacy is ideally suited for display in varying artistic and historical contexts, open to encounters with contemporary positions.<\/p>\n
