Welcome to the team, Christopher and Simon! ✨

As of August 2026, Christopher Wierling and Simon Würsten Marin have joined the curatorial team of Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst. A perfect opportunity to get to know them a little better.

Christopher Wierling takes on the newly created position of Curator of Exhibitions. Following several years at Gropius Bau in Berlin, he brings extensive experience in the development and realization of international exhibition projects. At Migros Museum, he will support artists in the production of new works and initiate and curate exhibition projects of his own.

Simon Würsten Marin joins the museum as Curator of Programmes, covering a parental leave position. His curatorial practice operates at the intersection of visual art and performance, with a focus on socially engaged practices and transcultural perspectives. Over the past years, he has realized international exhibitions and projects in both institutional and self-organized contexts.

With their diverse experiences and perspectives, Christopher and Simon further strengthen the museum’s curatorial profile. We look forward to working with them and to the ideas and impulses they will bring to our exhibitions and public programmes.

Welcome, Christopher and Simon! ✨
