Kunsthalle Friart

Kunsthalle Friart is situated in an industrial building in the old town of Fribourg, Switzerland. Since 1991, with its location at the crossroad of the different Swiss linguistic regions, the art center has acted as a thought-provoking venue. Since its opening, the venue organized more than 300 exhibitions, complemented by a rich selection of talks, conferences, concerts and performances. Landmark exhibitions include figures like Mark Dion (1995), Renée Green (1996), Thomas Hirschhorn (1999). More recently, Kunsthalle Friart organized exhibitions with Ramaya Tegegne (2014), Cameron Rowland (2016), Gene Beery (2019), Calla Henkel and Max Pitegoff (2020), Hamishi Farah (2021), as well as the first survey exhibition on Swiss experimental film Film Implosion! (2016), A Retrospective of Closed Exhibitions (2016), tracing the radical gestures of artists sealing off exhibition spaces, and Discoteca Analitica (2019), covering the emergence of multimedia environments by artists in the 1960s.
