Seit Jahrtausenden war der Mensch unterwegs auf der Suche nach Schätzen. Von Okzident nach Orient, von Nord nach Süd… Von der Erde zum Himmel und umgekehrt. Georgien lag auf dem Weg der Lapislazuli-Strasse und der Seidenstrasse; Gold haben die alten Griechen von Kolchis transportiert. Vielleicht auch das alte Wissen des Metallschmelzens oder Naturheilens? An dieser Ausstellung treffen sich zwei Kunstbereiche, die des Cloisonné und der Pigmentenmalerei, die noch heute fliessenden Kulturtransfers bezeugen.

For thousands of years, man has been traveling in search of treasures. From the Occident to the Orient, from north to south... From earth to heaven and vice versa. Georgia was on the route of the Lapis Lazuli Road and the Silk Road; the ancient Greeks transported gold from Colchis. Perhaps also the ancient knowledge of metal smelting or natural healing? This exhibition brings together two areas of art, cloisonné and pigment painting, which still bear witness to the flow of cultural transfers today.

Yantras are contemplative mystic diagrams used to focus the mind, cultivate inner control, and free oneself from the habitual distractions that hinder connection with one’s true source and center.

This talk brings together artist Francine Mury and Maya Burger, professor of Indian Studies, to explore a collection of mystic diagrams—an artistic treasury that has inspired Mury’s work since the 1990s.

The Yangtze, stretching over 6300 kilometers, is the longest river in China and Asia, and is considered China's “mother river”. It crosses the Tibetan plateau, the Sichuan basin and the plain of the middle and lower Yangtze, giving rise to the brilliant cultures of Liangzhu and Wu-Yue. As a vital artery of transportation and economy in ancient China, the Yangtze witnessed many historical transitions, while fostering, along its course, a great diversity of ecosystems and a profound cultural richness.

Gao Xiang traveled along the Yangtze, documenting his observations through a series of sketches. During our discussion in Zurich, he will share his experiences and insights on the evolving landscapes and the lives of the people along the river.
