‘Summer of Suspense’ is an experiment – as most days, of late, have been – in alternative forms of getting together. Over the course of seven weeks 43 local artists develop a show that continually evolves and accumulates. Three days a week (Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday) two artists come to Kunsthalle Zürich to install, perform or present a work, with a toast at 6 pm for those who stop by. From the 12 July till the 13 September all 43 works stay on view until late summer, by which time a new season and sentiment might be afoot.
