This exhibition highlights the career of Bernhard Lüthi, an artist and curator from Bern, who has been a staunch advocate for the recognition of Australian Aboriginal art in Europe.

The foundation has challenged 26 personalities from the world of Swiss culture to choose a work of contemporary Australian Indigenous art from Fodnation Opale’s collections, by suggesting a “mirror work” that they own, that they have created or that the Foundation could borrow

After five years, Fondation Opale added a new wing that houses an auditorium, a library and storage space for the works.

Curated together with artgenève, INTERSTELLAR invites us to explore the unknown and to stretch the limits of our imagination.

This exhibition juxtaposes Yves Klein’s artworks with those by twelve Australian Aboriginal artists, thus opening a sensitive, poetic path to this primordial brotherhood of awareness.

For the first time, Fondation Opale brings together two different types of artworks: contemporary photographs from Australian urban centres and traditional wamulu ground paintings.

Fondation Opale takes up the challenge of exhibiting sound and presents the biggest yidaki (didgeridoo) exhibition to this day.

The Italian architecture agency Superstudio (founded in 1966) denounces the absurdity of the modern world, its superproduction, superconsumption, property and capitalism through a critique of architecture.

Contemporary Aboriginal artists will meet their counterparts from the international scene. The exhibition brings the collections of sisters Bérengère and Garance Primat into dialogue, with more than 90 works of around 50 artists from all over the world.

Swiss artist, activist and curator Bernhard Lüthi (1938) transfers the archives of his lifetime work to Fondation Opale. A selection of these documents have been exhibited at the Sydney Biennale 2020.
