To mark its 40th anniversary, Swiss Institute (SI) revisits Regift, the landmark 2009 exhibition originally organized at SI in New York by John Miller with Piper Marshall. Co-produced by Swiss Institute and Luma Foundation, the exhibition is presented at Luma Westbau and brings together more than 50 artists across two floors, reflecting four decades of SI’s program and international networks.

Expanding on the original exhibition’s exploration of gift exchange, reciprocity, and systems of value, Regift considers how acts of giving shape social, cultural, and economic relations. The anniversary edition broadens this inquiry to include rituals surrounding gift-giving, communal and spiritual observances, and global practices of exchange across generations and cultures.

Participating artists include Darren Bader, Nairy Baghramian, Nina Beier, Anna-Sophie Berger, Barbara Bloom, Beatrice Bonino, John Clang, Matt Connors, Roberto Cuoghi, Catharine Czudej, Raúl de Nieves, Eliza Douglas, Maria Eichhorn, Nicole Eisenman, Rachel Fäth, Sylvie Fleury, Gina Fischli, Theaster Gates, Felix Gonzales-Torres, Rafik Greiss, Jasmine Gregory, Irena Haiduk, Camille Henrot, Jason Hirata, Loie Hollowell, Cui Jie, Mike Kelley, Gabriel Kuri, Leigh Ledare, Louise Lawler, Ghislaine Leung, Lorenza Longhi, Nancy Lupo, John Miller, Jill Mulleady, Shahryar Nashat, New Red Order, Jack O'Brien, Kayode Ojo, Nicolas Party, Greg Parma Smith, Adam Pendleton, Mai-Thu Perret, Walter Pfeiffer, Eric-Paul Riege, Walter Robinson, Carissa Rodriguez, Ugo Rondinone, Aura Rosenberg, Amy Sillman, Yutaka Sone, Tschabalala Self, Koki Tanaka, Rirkrit Tiravanija, Women's History Museum.

Regift is co-produced by Swiss Institute and Luma Foundation. The exhibition is curated by Alison Coplan, Stefanie Hessler, and John Miller.
