Concepts of the
All-Over

Concepts of the All-Over – In "Concepts of the All-Over", Museum Haus Konstruktiv is presenting a magnificent group show that celebrates the combining of colors, shapes, light and architecture. As the final exhibition to be held in the ewz Unterwerk Selnau building before the museum moves to the Löwenbräukunst site in spring 2025, it is also a homage to the historical industrial structure that has been our home for over two decades. Visitors will be able to experience large-scale works by Carlos Bunga, Carlos Cruz-Diez, Fritz Glarner, Ana Montiel, Reto Pulfer, Christine Streuli and Esther Stocker.

In art, the term ‘all-over’ describes the (painterly) principle of a more-or-less uniform composition that is dispersed across the whole surface of an image carrier and can potentially be continued beyond its boundaries. With regard to the almost 40-year history of Haus Konstruktiv though, ‘all over’ also refers to the end of a chapter: the museum’s imminent departure from its current location beside the River Sihl. With the exhibition title "Concepts of the All-Over", we are deliberately playing with this double meaning. It’s about all-over artworks… and it’s all over!
