To mark its 40th anniversary, the Swiss Institute is reviving the groundbreaking exhibition Regift , originally organized by John Miller and Piper Marshall at the SI in New York in 2009. This anniversary exhibition, co-produced by the Swiss Institute and the Luma Foundation, is presented in the Luma West Building and brings together more than 50 artists across two floors, reflecting four decades of the SI's programming and international networks.
Building on the exhibition's original exploration of gift economies, reciprocity, and value systems, Regift examines how practices of giving shape social, cultural, and economic relationships. This new edition expands on this question to include rituals of gift-giving, communal and spiritual occasions, and global forms of exchange across generations and cultures.
Participating artists include Darren Bader, Nairy Baghramian, Nina Beier, Anna-Sophie Berger, Barbara Bloom, Beatrice Bonino, John Clang, Matt Connors, Roberto Cuoghi, Catharine Czudej, Raúl de Nieves, Eliza Douglas, Maria Eichhorn, Nicole Eisenman, Rachel Fäth, Sylvie Fleury, Gina Fischli, Theaster Gates, Felix Gonzales-Torres, Rafik Greiss, Jasmine Gregory, Irena Haiduk, Camille Henrot, Jason Hirata, Loie Hollowell, Cui Jie, Mike Kelley, Gabriel Kuri, Leigh Ledare, Louise Lawler, Ghislaine Leung, Lorenza Longhi, Nancy Lupo, John Miller, Jill Mulleady, Shahryar Nashat, New Red Order, Jack O'Brien, Kayode Ojo, Nicolas Party, Greg Parma Smith, Adam Pendleton, Mai-Thu Perret, and Walter Pfeiffer.
