Both Switzerland and the Nordic Countries are preparing for the 2026 Venice Biennale by announcing their artist selections. Switzerland's exhibition, 'The Unfinished Business of Living Together', involves five cultural practitioners exploring tolerance, belonging, and social division, taking inspiration from a 1978 Telearena episode with queer discourse. The Nordic Countries will present Klara Kristalova, known for her evocative ceramic sculptures reflecting Nordic storytelling and human vulnerability. Switzerland’s pavilion, run by Pro Helvetia since 2012, serves as a vital space for contemporary art discussions.
The Swiss exhibition, entitled The Unfinished Business of Living Together, will explore contemporary forms of coexistence, inspired by a 1978 episode of Telearena featuring queer debates.
Switzerland will be represented by five cultural practitioners selected through an open call to examine areas of tolerance, belonging, and social division in their work.
Nordic representation at the Venice Biennale includes three artists, with Klara Kristalova creating ceramic sculptures that explore themes of rawness, vulnerability, and humanity.
Switzerland's own pavilion in the Biennale, managed by Pro Helvetia since 2012, continues to be a platform for vital and contemporary artistic dialogue.
