Der junge Kunsthändler Fabian Lang hat eine Karriere auf dem internationalen Parkett mit Erfolg gegen die eigene Galerie in Zürich getauscht. Seiner Heimatstadt - und der guten Nachbarschaft - traut er noch mehr zu.

Kilian Rüthemanns Skulpturen sind ebenso verspielt wie radikal. Er verwendet alltägliche Materialien, die er auf subversive Weise einsetzt, und hinterfragt dadurch scheinbare Gewissheiten. In seiner Einzelausstellung «Drift» in der Kunsthalle Wil sind drei neue Arbeiten des 44-Jährigen zu sehen.

In der Altstadt nahe dem Kunsthaus, das vor Kurzem von David Chipperfield erweitert wurde, sind die Häuser älter, die Galerien kleiner, Presenhuber und Kilchmann haben hier ebenfalls Räume, aber auch der junge Galerist Fabian Lang. Er präsentiert eine überzeugende Ausstellung von Elena Alonso: Grafische Malereien treffen auf flexible Lederskulpturen. Die Spanierin spielt mit Zitaten aus Design und Art déco, ihre Bilder sind geometrisch abstrakt – bis sie beim Betrachten dann plötzlich figürlich werden.

The stereotypical view of Zurich’s art scene is that it is straitlaced and business-centric. “That’s how I felt when I left 15 years ago,” said dealer Fabian Lang, who grew up in the Swiss city before moving to London, where he worked at Victoria Miro for nearly a decade and ran a project space in the Islington neighborhood. But Lang returned to his hometown in 2019 to start his own eponymous gallery and is part of a coterie of dealers that are energizing the city’s Old Town district. “It is so much more lively here now, and much more international,” he said.

Zurich gallerist Fabian Lang returns with a three-metre-high outdoor sculpture by Kilian Rüthemann made from reflective polyester filled with sand. “It’s an opportunity to rattle the cage a bit and show people that there’s more than just paintings on walls,” Lang says.

In Switzerland, at Fabian Lang. For this native of Zurich, contemporary art is as much a passion as a profession. Minimalist, surrealist or figurative, he chooses to show everything in his gallery in the historic heart of the city, as long as the works contribute to our understanding of the world. For the upcoming Zurich Art Weekend, he opens the doors of his Zollikon flat to us.

In 2019, Fabian Lang opened his gallery in Kreis 1, the historic heart of Zurich. It was in 1916, two hundred metres away, at the Cabaret Voltaire, that the Dada movement was born. Over the past century, the scene has expanded to include the Kunsthaus Zürich (opened in 1910 on the outskirts of Kreis 1, the National Museum Zürich, and contemporary art institutions Luma Westbau and Kunsthalle Zürich.

Die Wirklichkeit ist allzu oft anstössig, brutal und ungerecht. Dabei lässt sich die Erfahrung der Gegenwart nur schwerlich fassen. Das Werdende entzieht sich der menschlichen Wahrnehmung. Zusammenhänge bleiben für das blosse Auge verschwommen und paradox. Hinweis — Samantha Grob.

As with any art fair, the first visit to Artissima, which celebrates its 30th anniversary this year, leaves a variety of sensations. Some exhilarating, others sometimes inadequate to expectations. This year the 'structural' novelty was the increased presence of international galleries. And the response of these exhibitors tended not to fully satisfy. With proposals that were not particularly strong, or convinced, far from the openness expected at these levels.

Drawing upon the limits of a photographic capture, Young regards herself to be an ‘unreliable literary narrator’; an omnipresent character who observes and captures a moment in time and point of view – who saw what and when. The duo recently held an in conversation at Galerie Fabian Lang on Wardour Street on Young’s most recent body of works, ‘Stills’. Inspired by Italian neorealist cinema, these images casts buildings as the keeper of stories – where a sense of human experience lingers on the empty streets.

“Ein inhaltlich wie ästhetisch strenges, überzeugendes Konzept hat Idris Khan für seine 21-teilige Arbeit „After the Storm“ entwickelt, die Fabian Lang zeigt. Er hat die Palette von William Turners ikonischem Gemälde „Snowstorm, Avalanche and Thunderstorm“ separiert und abstrahierend quasi aufgeschlüsselt. Die bedrohliche Turbulenz des Originals ist einer Serie von melodischer Schwingung gewichen. Annie Morris, seine Frau, ist bekannt für ihre Kugelsäulen aus geschäumtem mit starkfarbiger Pigmenthaut verkleidetem Kunststoff, muntere Monumente der Äquilibristik mit Verweis auf die Flüchtigkeit und Instabilität der menschlichen Existenz.”

Founded five years ago by collector Dean Valentine and dealers Al and Mills Morán, Felix L.A. has gained a reputation for being a more relaxed and intimate fair than Frieze L.A., which runs at the same time.

“The fair was always founded on the premise that there needed to be an art fair that was really about the art, in a low-pressure setting, or a fun setting, to take away some of that shopping mall feeling of the larger art fairs,” Valentine told ARTnews. “Our goal was never to be just another fair to have at the same time as Frieze. We wanted it to be an experience.”
