Balgrist Collection Archive and Collections
In connection with an extension to Balgrist University Hospital, the construction committee initiated cooperation with Fotostiftung Schweiz in 2016. Instead of a one-off art-in-architecture project, monographic exhibitions featuring contemporary Swiss photographers are realised in the public entrance area and change annually. Fotostiftung Schweiz advises the Balgrist art committee on the selection of works and oversees implementation of the exhibition. Each year, Balgrist purchases some of the exhibited works. Several of these continue to be presented on the clinic’s premises after the annual exhibition, while others are permanently loaned to Fotostiftung Schweiz
