Family day: From the city into the exhibition

Sunday, Jul 12, 2026, 11 am – 1 pm

On family day, young and old alike explore the world of Swiss artist Peter Fischli together. His works feature shapes, stories, and traces from the urban environment. They evoke memories and spark mental games and chains of ideas.

During a tour of Fischli’s exhibition, the participants analyze how these everyday objects work in the exhibition. Afterward, they investigate the surroundings of the Fridericianum and set out to discover shapes and their influence on human behavior. The impact that the appearance of objects has on human attention, movement, and behavior is just as central to this as personal preferences regarding the design and transformation of public spaces.

Finally, in their own small exhibition, the participants themselves experiment with what happens when objects are taken out of their everyday context and placed in an exhibition setting.

Target audience: Families; children aged 5 and up, accompanied by an adult
Participation fee: 5 Euro
