Body Archive is an independent platform for contemporary art, founded in Zurich. It grew out of a desire to create a place for artists, friends and new encounters, and from the belief that an exhibition can be the beginning of something rather than the end.

Its programme takes shape through exhibitions, gatherings, performances, dinners, conversations and collaborations. Different disciplines and perspectives often meet within the same project, with each one developing in response to the people involved and the place in which it happens. Over the years, this has taken Body Archive from Zurich to Seoul, the Swiss Alps and other contexts, while remaining rooted in the relationships that make these projects possible.

Body Archive is interested in how a cultural platform can grow through these relationships rather than through a fixed format. Artists return, collaborations evolve and projects create connections that often continue elsewhere and in different forms. The aim is to build a space that stays open to change while developing its own voice over time, a place where people can meet, exchange ideas, take risks and imagine new ways of working together.
