Museo d’arte della Svizzera italiana (MASI Palazzo Reali)

Founded in 2015, after just a few years the Museo d'arte della Svizzera italiana (MASI Lugano) has become one of the most visited art museums in Switzerland. Through its two locations – the LAC cultural centre and the historic Palazzo Reali – it offers a rich programme with temporary exhibitions and changing collection presentations as well as a comprehensive, multilingual educational programme for visitors of all ages. The offer is complemented by the close collaborations with the Collezione Giancarlo e Danna Olgiati, which is part of the MASI network, entirely dedicated to contemporary art. MASI is one of the Swiss museums to be directly supported by the Swiss Federal Office of Culture and is also one of the “Art Museums of Switzerland”, the group of museums selected by Switzerland Tourism to promote the country’s cultural image worldwide.

Hedi Mertens

-
La mostra restituisce al pubblico l’opera e la singolare storia di un’artista che, partendo da una profonda conoscenza teorica, ha trovato in Ticino le condizioni favorevoli per sviluppare la propria ricerca artistica. Hedi Mertens (Gossau, 1893 - Carona, 1982) non segue un percorso lineare, nonostante una formazione pittorica classica.
