After the closing of the the swimming season in the Swiss capital, Bern, the open-air pool Marzili becomes the venue for the sculpture exhibition "Now Art No. 3". Until 19 November, 28 sculptors exhibit their works on the land between the river and the Federal Parliament, headquarters of the Swiss Government.
The subtitle of the Swiss sculpture exhibition indicates that the third edition sees itself as a nation-wide showcase of contemporary artwork. It offers space both to artists from all parts of the country as well as to yet unknown new arrivals. Thus the exhibition, created by the Foundation "Art Now", reflects the diversity within sculpture in Switzerland.
The Bernese Marzili is for the residents more than a swimming pool, even if it is the third oldest in Europe. It's part of the recreation area on the banks of the river Aare in the Swiss capital, and therefore also accessible in winter.
The following artists exhibit in Marzili: Vincenzo Baviera, Carlo Borer, Rudy Decelière, Eggs/Bitschin, Baptiste Gaillard, Liz Gehrer, Fabrizio Giannini, Max Grüter, Peter Gygax, Alfonso Hüppi, Schang Hutter, Kari Joller, James Licini, Rochus Lussi, Marianne Lutz, Maboart, Ursula Palla, Klaus Prior, Christoph Rihs, Anka Schmid, Anna Schmid, Pavel Schmidt, Ivo Soldini, Hans Thomann, Rudolf Tschudin, Gillian White, Paul Wiedmer, Zaric and Marc Zeier.
The exhibition is open daily from 8.30 until 18.00. Entrance is free.
