The
Association
A STRONG FOUNDATION FOR LASTING RESULTS
Our Board
The board consists of at least five members who are elected for a term of three years. Re- election is possible once a term has expired. The director of Kunsthaus Zürich is an ex officio member of the board. The board is responsible for all matters of the association, insofar as the general assembly is not responsible. The board is self-constituted, regulates the signing authority of its members, and may appoint further committees.
Currently the board consists of the following members (as of June 2024):
Gitti Hug (Präsidentin)
Ann Demeester, Director Kunsthaus Zürich (ex officio)
Arthur Bechtler
Henriette Hahnloser Grapentin
