Swiss Grand Award for Art / Prix Meret Oppenheim 2026

Fabrice Gygi

“I no longer wish to look at this world, to gaze upon it with a critical eye; I long instead to flee, to find a way out.”

Hilar Stadler

“Archives are a place of solace for impoverished museums.”

Tilla Theus

“Moments like these are a real joy, when project owners sacrifice something today to leave leeway for the future.”
