Swiss Post’s commitment to art
We are committed to art through projects, our own collection, and formats that make art visible and accessible.
Our commitment to art
Since 1924, Swiss Post has been building a collection of contemporary art that now comprises around 500 works. Our commitment goes beyond acquiring works and rests on three pillars: the art collection, art in architecture and the “Art in the Periphery” format. The art collection focuses on works that address diversity, social justice, care for natural resources, sustainability and climate issues, as well as engagement with our history and the influence of new technologies on the worlds we live in.
Our focus areas
Art collection
Our art collection is both a gallery and an archive. It presents selected works and opens up a dialogue about themes, positions and forms of artistic expression.
Art in dialogue - Let’s Talk About
The discussion series “Let’s Talk About” accompanies the publication about Swiss Post’s art collection. In moderated discussions, artists and specialists discuss key themes of the collection.
Exhibition cooperation
As part of exhibition cooperation, Swiss Post works with museums and cultural institutions. Together, they create exhibitions that make works from the collection accessible in different places.
