About this place
Last Tango in Zürich is an independent exhibition space run by an art association that has been showing emerging contemporary art since 2016. It suits visitors who want a look at Zürich's artist-led scene, away from the big museums and commercial galleries.
What is Last Tango?
The association was founded in 2016 by Linda Jensen and Arianna Gellini. It presents artists, helps produce new works and supports people early in their careers, both from Zürich and from abroad. Its first show opened in 2017, and since then it has staged more than twenty exhibitions involving around eighty artists and collectives.
What will you see?
The programme leans towards group shows across many media. Recent exhibitions include:
- "Gazed and Confused – Chapter 1" (January–March 2022)
- "In My Nightmare The Title Was Cuteness" (July–August 2023)
- Hunter Longe and Paulo Wirz (September–November 2023)
- Fatima Moallim (November 2023 – January 2024)
- "Plan for the Worst, Hope for the Best" by Francesco Cagnin and Sam Porritt (February–April 2024)
Beyond exhibitions, the team organises social events such as performances and screenings, and works with local partners including Zürich moves! and the Kunstsammlung des Kantons Zürich.
Where is it and how do you check opening times?
The space is in the western part of Zürich. Shows change a few times a year and it does not keep museum-style daily hours, so confirm the current exhibition, address and opening days with the organisers before you go.
When should you visit?
While an exhibition is running, and ideally at an opening night, which is a chance to meet the artists and the local art crowd.
Who is it for?
Contemporary art fans, anyone curious about alternative spaces, and travellers who want to pair Zürich's headline sights with a smaller, independent venue.
