The focus is on an exhibition dealing with forms of thinking from various cultures of knowledge and artistic practices. In the expectation of seeing art, scientific lectures, objects or experiments are perceived from a different perspective. The playing field will thereby be expanded. As the University takes up residence in the Kunsthalle Zürich, attention will shift to the way knowledge is produced and to the spaces of thinking; as a result, the visitors' sense of the varieties, permeabilities and modulations is sharpened.

The festival will draw on diversity and persistence, but also on impermanence and uniqueness. A rich program of varied events will complement the exhibition and also serve as a mediator of the encounter. Kunsthalle Zürich will be a stage for multiple interactions: between science, art, and culture; between the search for meaning and the meaning of aesthetics; between a retrospective an anticipatory outlook; and between people from different backgrounds who share a sense of curiosity. Come celebrate the 100 ways of thinking with us!
