New Artistic Director: Claudia Blank

From mid-November until the end of May 2026, Claudia Blank will be joining the team at the Centre Albert Anker as Artistic Director. Claudia Blank grew up in Ins and lives in Bern. She has a master’s degree in art history and museology and brings with her extensive experience from the art museums in Bern, Basel and Thun. She is currently working on the concept for the 2026 temporary exhibition and is delighted to be spending more time in her hometown of Ins again.

Quote:

‘Albert Anker was my first introduction to art. We had an art print of the municipal clerk hanging in my parents’ house, and I still feel a certain closeness to his works today. Working at the Centre Albert Anker will allow me to engage with the artist in a scholarly way once again, which I am very much looking forward to.’
