POOL’s first project is an exhibition curated by Gabi Ngcobo featuring works from the collections of Maja Hoffmann and Michael Ringier/Ringier AG.

In her curatorial process, Gabi Ngcobo has been mentored by Tom Eccles (Executive Director, Center for Curatorial Studies, CCS Bard, Annandale-on-Hudson, NY) and Beatrix Ruf (Director and Curator, Kunsthalle Zurich).


The exhibition in the curator’s own words:

A curatorial project that stages a continuous deflection of historical, mythical and fantastical narratives. Work selected from the private collections of Maja Hoffmann and Michael Ringier emphasize insistence and repetition. Together they seek to propose a rearrangement and erasure of gaps in time, by warping concepts of place as well as contemporary speculation on the future(s).


Featuring works by
Francis Alÿs, John Baldessari, Fiona Banner, Keren Cytter, Verne Dawson,
Stan Douglas, Urs Fischer, Liam Gillick, Rodney Graham, Cartsten Höller,
Mike Kelley, Sean Landers, Sherrie Levine, Cindy Sherman, Lorna Simpson,
Wolfgang Tillmans, Rosemarie Trockel, Danh Vo
