Its programme includes a wide range of contemporary art: architecture, dance, design, drawing, new media, installations, music, painting, performance, photography, sculpture and video. Over 300 shows of Swiss and international artists have been put on. Joseph Beuys, Maurizio Cattelan, Dan Graham, Andy Warhol, La Ribot, Josh Smith have all exhibited here.
