Violence and gender have always had a complex and often unsettling relationship. There is a persistence in attributing war with the masculine, peace with the feminine. A special exhibition at Military History Museum examines the phenomenon from unexpected angles and challenges established notions. The exhibition has been designed in collaboration with zweikant architekturen. The main curator Dr. Gorch Pieken has been assisted by the exhibition agency in charge, kursiv | text – objekt – raum. Graphic design has been developed by 2xGoldstein.

Another KITAG cinedome is opening on April 5h, 2018! In Muri near Berne, the movie theater hosts 10 auditoria, among them an IMAX screen, up-to-date technology, and outstanding design. The project is a collaboration with meierpartner architekten.

The exhibition’s theme may seem far-fetched for a natural history museum. More than a natural phenomena, the idea of Apocalypse is a cultural concept. However, environmental damage has become a real threat today. But doesn’t show history as well that natural and man-made disasters have always fuelled innovation? Scientific and cultural perspectives are interweaved in this show.

The exhibition is shown from November 10, 2017 (planned running time five years).

How does communication work? When does it fail and why? How does it affect relationships of all kinds? The exhibition addresses these questions also on a meta level: How can a museum communicate successfully with its visitors?

The exhibition is shown from October 26, 2017 to September 9, 2018.

Large stairs leading up to the new annex set the mood for a secular pilgrimage into the abundant history of Einsiedeln abbey. The abbey’s dimensions, the colors of the baroque church and the rituals related to the famous Black Madonna establish the exhibition’s atmosphere.

Many of the objects on display, mostly gifts of generous pilgrims, are shown for the first time outside of the abbey as part of an impressive mise-en-scène. The presentation of objects such as precious ornaments and textiles reveals the abbey’s significance beyond a religious context.

Karl Marx’s Capital was first published 150 years ago in Hamburg. For the anniversary, the Museum der Arbeit presents a controversial exhibition addressing the book’s historical background and its implications for contemporary society. A sequence of vivid rooms presents the writing, publishing, interpreting, reading and discussion of Capital, a book which has proven a difficult read and provoked widely varied interpretations.

The new CoLab @ EPFL, at Rolex Learning Center in Lausanne, Switzerland, brings together research, development, and presentation to create an inviting and multifunctional space. CoLab’s spatial flexibility allows adjustments to accommodate an array of scenarios. In it’s everyday set-up, students are furnished with a comfortable, round-the-clock lounge. An additional workshop room provides space for private meetings.
