Revolution! John Chamberlain, Ida Ekblad, Christine Streuli

: Kunstmuseum Luzern, Luzern, Switzerland

With Revolution, Kunstmuseum Luzern is taking up the theme of Lucerne Festival and reflecting on this powerful concept within the visual arts. The exhibition does not try to illustrate the concept, but rather to engage atmospherically with the phenomenon, which implies collision, implosion and upheaval. The works of the American artist John Chamberlain (1927-2011) are juxtaposed with pieces by two younger artists: the large-scale paintings of the Swiss painter Christine Streuli (b. 1975) and the lavish gestures in both painting and sculpture of the Norwegian artist Ida Ekblad (b. 1980).
