Pamela Rosenkranz (*1979) rose to prominence with a conceptual practice that encompasses sculpture, video, installation and painting. Her work questions the subjective element in the apprehension of an artwork, shifting the viewer’s focus toward the material, biochemical and neurological determinants of human behavior. Dubious of a worldview that places human beings at the center of the natural and material universe, the Zurich-based artist has also collaborated with thinkers from the broad philosophical movement known as speculative realism.

The Best, The Rest, and The Unexpected Guests
Group Exhibition
Bechtler Stiftung, Uster
Through April 21, 2025
The Best, The Rest, and The Unexpected Guests, curated by the artist Lorenza Longhi, combines selected works from the collections of the Bechtler family with works by contemporary Swiss artists. The focus is on Longhi’s subjective view of the collections, whereby her artistic perspective reveals surprising references within the diverse selection of works. Looking back on the collecting activities of the Bechtler family, the exhibition includes key works from the 1960s to the present day and invites a fresh dialog by contrasting them with current positions.
