The Paul Rudolph Institute is proud to present PAUL CLEMENCE: SHAPES, RHYTHM, ABSTRACTION / Swiss Museums, which will open September 26, 2025 and be on view until November 1, and is free and open to the public. This exhibition is presented with the generous support of Switzerland Tourism.

This exhibition of approximately 30 photographs of museums from around Switzerland printed on brushed aluminum will occupy two floors of the landmarked Modulightor Building, named for the lighting company Paul Rudolph created with Ernst Wagner in 1976.

Known for his ability to express the intangible side of Architecture through his abstract eyes, photographer Paul Clemence takes us on a poetic journey through Swiss museums in Geneva, Lausanne, Basel, Zurich, Chur, Bern, and St. Gallen. With a focus on textures, patterns, shapes and light, the exhibit features a diverse mix of projects by architects such as Herzog & de Meuron, Mario Botta, Christ & Gantenbein, Barozzi Veiga, Buchner Bründler, Renzo Piano Building Workshop, Aires Mateus, Shigeru Ban and others.

As part of the program and in the framework of this collaboration, several activations will take place during the exhibition period.
