The exhibition presents an extensive selection of works from the Swiss Ringier Collection, marking its first major exhibition in Germany.

Curated by Wade Guyton and Beatrix Ruf, it features approximately 500 works, offering an overview of one of the most relevant collections of contemporary art. Spanning works from the late 1960s to the present day, it documents Michael Ringier’s 30 years as a collector and key developments in the art world.

The exhibition's subversive title highlights how traditional artistic media continues to inspire new interpretations—both by challenging their conventional boundaries and through intentional artistic ambiguity.

With works by Angela Bulloch, Valentin Carron, Verne Dawson, Trisha Donnelly, Peter Fischli David Weiss, Liam Gillick, Douglas Gordon, Karen Kilimnik, Ugo Rondinone, Jean-Frédéric Schnyder, Steven Shearer, Josh Smith, Franz West, and Sue Williams, among others.
