The March edition of our "classic meets art" series takes place in the exhibition UMAN. A FANTASTIC WOMAN at Hauser & Wirth Zurich.
This marks Uman’s first solo exhibition in Switzerland, showcasing new paintings and works on paper. A section of the gallery is transformed by a vibrant, site-specific mural, immersing visitors in her dynamic, color-saturated world. Working from Upstate New York, Uman’s latest works reflect her deep connection to nature, blending bold gestures with geometric forms. The exhibition will be explored through a musical journey featuring Antonio Vivaldi’s ‘Spring’ (Op. 8, 3rd movement), complementing her striking ‘4 Seasons’ series (2024) – three paintings capturing the seasonal shifts of her rural surroundings. The program also includes compositions by Florence B. Price, Fanny Hensel and others, enriching the dialogue between art and music. A highlight of the evening will be ‘Mirror’ (2024), a central work of the exhibition, paired with an evocative interpretation of Shostakovich’s deeply expressive music.
The musical program will be interspersed with introductions to Uman’s work and the compositions.
Short introductions to the exhibition and the musical programme connect the stations where works of art and music enter into dialogue.
We will round off the evening at the bar and in the exhibition.
