CANTONALE BERNE JURA 2023/2024
The Cantonale Berne Jura was launched in 2011 and focuses on intercantonal cooperation. Spread across various institutions, it offers artists an important and broad platform and presents the public with the diversity of artistic creation in Bern and Jura.
This year’s edition of the intercantonal Christmas exhibition Cantonale Berne Jura at the Kunstmuseum Thun shows current, refreshing, uncompromising, great, ingeniously simple and intoxicatingly complex works. Spread over eleven art institutions, the Cantonale forms an expressive platform for contemporary art of supra-regional significance and presents a broad spectrum of artistic positions.
