With the project Collection of Tadashi Kawamata in 1996, the Kunsthaus Zug expanded its activities for the first time into the public space of the city of Zug and beyond. Since then, the museum has been reaching out to people with various art projects: from art in architecture to interventions in public space to the Kunsthaus Zug mobil. Since 2002, the mobile showroom has been on the road at changing locations in the Zug region, in Switzerland and abroad with site-specific projects in cooperation with a wide variety of partners.
The collection includes sculptures, sculptures and installations in the courtyard and in the Kunsthaus garden, as well as architectural installations in the city. Tadashi Kawamata's wooden station path leads to the lido and the Bruggli area. On the lakeside promenade is the walk-in sculpture Seesicht (2015) by Roman Signer, in the Daheimpark is the hut (2016/2021) by Thomas Schütte. The wall drawings by Pavel Pepperstein for the Zug prison can be viewed on request. In cooperation with the Kunsthaus, art in architecture projects with Ilya and Emilia Kabakov as well as James Turrell were also realized for the train station, as well as for school buildings with Elisabeth Arpagaus, Tadashi Kawamata, Carmen Keiser, Michael Kienzer, Peter Kogler, Pavel Pepperstein and Franziska Zumbach.
