(A Brief History)
Initially, SALTS was launched by Samuel and Anna Leuenberger in the form of an Art Salon, where one could not only be confronted with art but also engage in conversations about the production and display of art. In 2011, Swiss artist Tobias Spichtig joined the team and the name SALTS was coined. Later Quinn Latimer initiated a format called The Printed Room for text and poetry-based exhibitions which was taken over in 2015 by artist and curator Harry Burke. SALTS enjoyed regular contributions by curator Fabian Schöneich. Between 2014 and 2019, the exhibition program was co-curated by Elise Lammer, before Benedikt Wyss took over at the beginning of 2020.
