On your marks, get set, go! captures the moment of suspense before the race begins, when the future exists as pure possibility. It focuses on what is unfolding rather than what is fixed, and asks: What marks do we leave behind? What is remembered, what disappears? In a fast-moving age of AI, the crucial answer is: it’s about readiness and intention, not mere speed.
Works from the Baloise Collection enter into dialogue with invited artists. Through this selection, the curator encourages visitors not to see the future as something distant, but as something we create, step by step, mark by mark, choice by choice.
