Kader Attia’s multifaceted output encompasses sculptures, installations, photos and videos that combine high aesthetic quality with profoundly ethical concerns. They reflect his determination to address the crises and the pressing social policy issues of our times.

Following various high-profile international appearances by the artist, the Kunsthaus Zürich becomes the first institution in German-speaking Switzerland to devote a solo exhibition to Kader Attia. At its centre is a new work that he is creating specially for the Kunsthaus. The exhibition is accompanied by an extensive discourse programme.

Curator: Mirjam Varadinis
