Swiss Institute / Contemporary Art New York

Founded in 1986, Swiss Institute (SI) is one of New York’s key non-profit institutions for contemporary art. Open to the public free of charge, it provides a significant forum for contemporary cultural dialogue between Europe and the United States. Swiss Institute produces four exhibitions per year along with a series of public programs including lectures, performances, and screenings. Recent highlights include solo or duo exhibitions of emerging artists including Allyson Vieira, Pamela Rosenkranz, Nikolas Gambaroff, and Nicolas Party; shows presenting specific bodies of work by celebrated artists such as John Armleder and Roman Signer; as well as rediscoveries of overlooked figures including Karlheinz Weinberger and Heidi Bucher.
