Dezemberausstellung Überblick, 2022
For over a century, December Exhibition has served as a well-received window for the artists in the Winterthur region. The exhibition allows locals and out-of-town audiences alike to discover new artists every year while gaining varied insights about Winterthur’s art scene. The procedure changes in a two-year cycle. Every other year, as is the case in 2024, the exhibition is initiated by the Kunst Museum Winterthur. Without using applications or a jury process, the curators invite a selection of artists with a connection to the Winterthur region to present their latest work. They also invite the artist who won the exhibition prize of the Galerieverein. Freunde Kunst Museum Winterthur the previous year to the jury-run December Exhibition. The focus exhibitions give artists the opportunity to present large series and site-specific installations in the museum’s annex. The exhibition provides unusual perspectives on the regional art scene and puts the participation of selected artists up for discussion.
Curators: Konrad Bitterli, Lynn Kost
