This is definitely on my list ;-)) Max Bill - in Honor of his 100th anniversary The city of Winterthur is honoring the 100th anniversary of its citizen Max Bill (1908-1984) with two exhibitions. The <a href="http://www.gewerbemuseum.ch/default.asp?Sprache=D&Thema=100024&Rubrik=0&Gruppe=0&Seite=0&AusstellungSeite=3&AusstellungID=48&Status=startseite">Gewerbemuseum</a> is showing his architectural works, and the <a href="http://www.kmw.ch/webs/main/pages/ausst_2007_09.html">Kunstmuseum</a> is honoring the artist and painter that he was. Both museums are exhibiting from january 20th to may 12th. The tourist office of Winterthur is offering an interesting "Max Bill- Package", so have a look <a href="http://www.winterthur-tourismus.ch/default.asp?Sprache=D&Thema=0&Rubrik=0&Gruppe=17&Seite=210">here</a> for more information. (Also on my 'must see' list ). Mudac Lausanne: Dysfashional The <a href="http://www.mudac.ch/">Mudac</a> in Lausanne will show "Dysfashional" from march 12th to june 8th. Theme is fashion, but you won't see clothes. It is about the approach of designing fashion and creates scenarios around the materials. Seems very interesting ( to me, at least ).
