This new initiative reflects Hauser & Wirth’s longstanding commitment to building a sense of connection in the places where it works, collaborating with artists (or estates) who may benefit from an additional platform, galleries of different scale and writers addressing new audiences, all in support of a sustainable art ecosystem. By hosting fellow artists, galleries and writers, we offer wider visibility of their work and ideas to engage with each city’s vibrant creative community.

Organized with Olivier Renaud-Clément, Hauser & Wirth Invite(s) launched in Paris in February 2025. The project is now coming to Zurich for the first time, where it will be hosted on the lower level of our Limmatstrasse gallery and will complement our ongoing series of exhibitions by gallery artists on the upper floors.

The first Zurich iteration of Invite(s) features a solo exhibition by Swiss artist Urban Zellweger, presented in collaboration with his Zurich galleries Karma International and Galerie Oskar Weiss. A new text by Eleonora Bitterli will accompany the exhibition. On view through 23 May, the presentation continues the spirit of Invite(s) by creating an open framework for exchange, experimentation and visibility within Hauser & Wirth’s Zurich location.
