Tobias Gutmann at Aargauer Kunsthaus, Aarau.
In «Künstliche Kreativität», Gutmann shows Sai Bot, developed with Dazlus AG, his drawing twin. The machine is trained on his own hand-drawn portraits, draws visitors in his line and speaks with his recorded voice. Read «Tobias» backwards and you have its name.
It takes the same few minutes the artist needs by hand. The waiting is part of the work.
Around it: large drawings on paper, painted cardboard figures, and the albums of the Face-o-mat, the portrait booth Gutmann has taken from Stockholm to Munich, Hong Kong, Shenzhen, Riyadh, Dhahran and Riga since 2012.
On 14 and 15 November, the artist draws live in the Face-o-mat, in the same room as his twin.

The Luminous Face — Simon Berger at Pavillon Monticelli, Marseille, 15 to 17 October 2026.
Portraits in glass and four cubes, Skull Cube, Half-Sphere Cube, Sphere Cube and Blue Ocean Cube, in the rooms of a house from 1882 that was the British consulate for decades.
Berger belongs to a line of painters of light that runs from Rembrandt through Adolphe Monticelli, Van Gogh, Rouault, Bacon and Richter. Medieval theology had two words for light: lux, the light that falls on things, and lumen, the light that comes from within. These painters wanted faces that shine rather than faces that are lit, and a dark ground was the condition for it.
Berger works in that tradition with the most radical means it has produced. He does not paint with colour but with cracks: denser where the face is light, sparser where it is dark, hung before black so that every fracture reads as white. The face is not illuminated. It shines.
That the exhibition took place in Marseille mattered. Adolphe Monticelli was born here in 1824 and died here in 1886, the painter whose impasto caught the light physically and whom Van Gogh saw as carrying on the best traditions of the past. A century later, in his city, a carpenter with a hammer and a pane of glass takes up his question: how does a face shine from within?

Azra Begić, in glass. Simon Berger at the National Gallery of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Sarajevo.
Azra Begić (1931–2017) was a curator at the National Gallery from 1959 until 1998 and its foremost expert on the Hodler collection hold by the National Gallery. Colleagues called her «Madame Hodler». Her curatorial work did not stop during the war, when the gallery was shelled and refugees were sheltered in its basement, and her conversations with Switzerland led to support for the gallery and the preservation of the collection.
For The Persistence of Presence, Simon Berger made her portrait by hand at the opening, strike by strike, in laminated glass. It hangs beside the Hodler works she looked after. The exhibition closes tonight; the portrait stays in Sarajevo.
The text on Azra Begić by Sanela Ademović, Embassy of Switzerland, is published in full in our journal: link in bio.

Simon Berger × Add Fuel — Beyond the Surface at Laurent Marthaler Contemporary, Montreux.
Two practices meet on a single question: what happens when a surface is worked until it gives way?
Taking Montreux and its Belle Époque heritage as a point of departure, Add Fuel weaves characteristics of the period into his intricate tile patterns, while Simon Berger translates motifs and imagery of the era into fractured glass. Alongside individual works, the exhibition presents a series of new collaborative pieces in which the two practices intersect: pattern meets portrait, order meets rupture.
The collaborative works were developed side by side in Simon Berger’s studio.
Opening Thursday, October 8
Beyond the Surface, Laurent Marthaler Contemporary, Montreux
October 8 — November 27, 2026

Simon Berger at the National Gallery of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Sarajevo, last days of The Persistence of Presence.
The exhibition places Berger’s glass portraits in dialogue with Ferdinand Hodler. More than two hundred works by Hodler, which came to the gallery through Jeanne Charles, are on public view in Sarajevo for the first time in more than twenty years.
The Persistence of Presence is part of Drawing Bridges, a programme marking thirty years of diplomatic relations between Switzerland and Bosnia and Herzegovina, in cooperation with the Embassy of Switzerland.
One work remains in Sarajevo: Azra Begić, 2026 by Simon Berger has entered the collection of the National Gallery.

Some projects mean more because of what happens behind the scenes.
Following my earlier announcement of Simon Berger’s participation in Materiality at Saatchi Gallery, it has been particularly meaningful to be closely involved in planning his contribution to the exhibition.
From the selection of works and conversations around their presentation to the many decisions that shape how Simon’s practice is encountered within the exhibition, this process reflects an important part of my work with him.
For me, working with an artist goes far beyond creating opportunities. It is about thinking carefully about context, making decisions together, and building a trajectory over time.
Seeing that work come together at Saatchi Gallery is therefore a special moment — not simply because of where the exhibition takes place, but because it represents another step in a collaboration we have been building with great care.
I am grateful for the trust and for the opportunity to contribute to this process.

Some milestones are worth celebrating.
I’m delighted to share that @simonberger.art will be exhibiting in “Materiality” at the renowned @saatchi_gallery in London, curated by @bsmtspace.
Bringing together an outstanding group of international artists, Materiality explores how materials themselves become the message. Simon’s distinctive shattered glass works are a powerful contribution to this dialogue, transforming impact, fragility, and resilience into compelling portraits.
Through @noa.contemporary , it has been a privilege to coordinate Simon’s participation and work alongside dedicated partners to make this opportunity possible. Supporting artists on their international journey and creating meaningful collaborations with leading institutions is exactly why we do what we do.
Congratulations to Simon, @bsmtspace, @saatchi_gallery, and all participating artists. We look forward to seeing Materiality open this August.

What happens when materials act as independent agents, following their own logic of growth, decay, and resistance?
Situated between modern technology and an archaic relationship to nature, these sculptures occupy a space where the manufactured and the organic converge. Integrated pump systems circulate a crystalline liquid across their surfaces at irregular intervals, continuously transforming their appearance and blurring the boundary between process and object.
