Max Bill - in Honor of his 100th anniversary

The city of Winterthur is honoring the 100th anniversary of its citizen Max Bill (1908-1984) with two exhibitions. The Gewerbemuseum is showing his architectural works, and the Kunstmuseum is honoring the artist and painter that he was. Both museums are exhibiting from january 20th to may 12th.

The tourist office of Winterthur is offering an interesting "Max Bill- Package", so have a look here for more information.

(Also on my 'must see' list ).

Mudac Lausanne: Dysfashional

The Mudac in Lausanne will show "Dysfashional" from march 12th to june 8th. Theme is fashion, but you won't see clothes. It is about the approach of designing fashion and creates scenarios around the materials. Seems very interesting ( to me, at least ).

Place de la Cathédrale 6, Lausanne.
