MEANWHILE IN SWITZERLAND
BERNE PAUL KLEE AND THE FAR EAST Paul Klees engagement with the art of the Far East, which inspired him throughout the whole of his life, has gone relatively unexamined until now. The exhibition is attempting for the first time to give an overview of Klees preoccupation with East Asian art.

PHOTOGRAPHY FOCUSING ON SWISS ARCHITECTUR Building images is conceived as a panorama of the last 25 years of Swiss architecture. Buildings which have contributed to the worldwide success of Swiss construction are presented not by means of plans and models, but solely via the medium of photography. Here, artistic positions enter into a dialog with

architectural photography. Rather than limiting itself to stringing together exemplary photographs, the presentation also sheds light on the different aspects of the relationship between image and architecture in an analytical section. Image: Georg Aerni, Triemli, Zurich. www.sam-basel.org
