Cantonale Berne Jura 2025/2026

This year’s edition of the intercantonal Christmas exhibition Cantonale Berne Jura showcases contemporary, refreshing, uncompromising, magnificent, ingeniously simple and intoxicatingly complex works. The theme of the exhibition at the Kunstmuseum Thun is ‘Fluidity’. This refers to everything that flows, streams or is liquid. The prime example is, of course, water. In recent years, the term and the characteristics associated with it have also found their way into other areas of life – including metaphorically – such as gender, digital imagery and human, animal or plant identity. All these areas and more are linked by the positions on display.

The Cantonale Berne Jura was launched in 2011 and is dedicated to intercantonal cooperation. Spread across eleven art institutions, the Cantonale forms a meaningful platform for contemporary art of supra-regional importance and presents a broad spectrum of artistic positions.
