For the first time in the Fondation Beyeler’s more than 25-year history, the entire museum and its surrounding park will be transformed into the site of an experimental presentation of contemporary art. With contributions by Michael Armitage, Anne Boyer, Federico Campagna, Ian Cheng, Chuquimamani-Condori and Joshua Chuquimia Crampton, Marlene Dumas, Frida Escobedo, Peter Fischli, Cyprien Gaillard with Victor Man, Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster, Wade Guyton, Carsten Höller with Adam Haar, Pierre Huyghe, Arthur Jafa, Koo Jeong A, Dozie Kanu, Cildo Meireles, Jota Mombaça, Fujiko Nakaya, Alice Notley, Precious Okoyomon, Philippe Parreno, Rachel Rose, Tino Sehgal, Rirkrit Tiravanija, Ramdane Touhami and Adrián Villar Rojas. The Summer Show is conceived as a “living organism” that changes and transforms throughout its duration.
Connections and interrelationships between individual works are developed in close dialogue with the artists. This exchange also extends to works from the in-house collection, which are an integral part of the project. While a number of the paintings, sculptures, films, installations, and performances were created site-specifically, others are adapted versions of existing works.
The exhibition is organised by Fondation Beyeler in partnership with LUMA Foundation.
Concept by Sam Keller, Mouna Mekouar, Isabela Mora, Hans Ulrich Obrist, Precious Okoyomon, Philippe Parreno and Tino Sehgal in close collaboration with the participants.
Project team Fondation Beyeler: Angelika Bühler, Dorothee Dines, Ulrike Erbslöh, Markus Gross, Iris Hasler, Matthias Kohler, Michiko Kono, Ben Ludwig, Regula Moser, Christoph Thüer, David Vogt and Steffen Zarutzki.

THE MAKING OF
22 April – 18 May 2024
Exceptionally, the Fondation Beyeler’s Summer Show can be visited as it is being installed. Every day, watch new art works being uncrated and set up, installations being tested and put into operation. Between 22 April and 18 May 2024, visitors are invited to view the Summer Show’s Making-of, allowing them to take a look behind the scenes. A rare opportunity to witness artists and their teams first-hand as they prepare for the exhibition.
During this period, the Beyeler Restaurant im Park serves as a unique hub of interaction and dialogue, with a lunch menu available to artists, staff and visitors alike.
