Regis­tra­tion for the Ope­ning

With ZACK, Beat Zode­rer rea­li­ses the final and con­clu­ding pro­ject of ART FLOW.

At the sym­bo­lic centre of the Limmat Valley, an appro­xi­m­ately eight-metre-high sculp­ture made of colourfully pain­ted steel will rise, con­den­sing the river, the valley and its diverse habi­tats into a single, powerful state­ment.

Situa­ted in close pro­xi­mity to the rail­way line, motor­way and the River Limmat, ZACK beco­mes a new visual refe­rence point for the valley: a striking excla­ma­tion mark in the land­scape, visi­ble to ever­yone pas­sing through the Limmat Valley.

The sculp­ture brings tog­e­ther move­ment and sta­bi­lity, ever­y­day life and mea­ning – ope­ning up space for indi­vi­dual inter­pre­ta­tion.

The event marks the con­clu­sion of ART FLOW and invi­tes the public to expe­ri­ence this spe­cial moment tog­e­ther in the public realm.

Beat Zode­rer is one of the most influ­en­tial Swiss artists of his gene­ra­tion – and with ZACK he crea­tes a sign that reso­na­tes far beyond the Limmat Valley.
