The focus of the summer exhibition is the creation of connections between lines, surfaces and points. Be it in contrast to constructive-additive methods such as the aleatoric approaches, or in searching and finding geometric constellations. The exhibited works oscillate between the two- and three-dimensional, opening up imaginary spaces on paper and canvas on the one hand and drawing volumes in space with lines and surfaces on the other.

Christa Hoog Antink, Rainer Trösch and Sämi Scherrer repeatedly start from checkered papers for their model-like constructions, which later lead partly to further implementations, up to large-format oil paintings (Scherrer).

Markus Zeller’s material is metal, and his technique is that of braiding. His starting points are welding rods or sheet metal strips, which are stretched to surfaces and later volumes, often presenting themselves simultaneously as interior and exterior spaces. His group of works, which he has developed over many years, reconfigure the fire square (Brandplatz) next to the Haus zur Glocke over the summer. Reto Müller’s intervention constitutes the counter-pole thereto.

Through the exhibits from the Amish quit collection by Hans Zogg, the background of the Amish people, who originally emigrated from Switzerland to America, enriches the handling of the constructive by a material and historical dimension.

Felix Baumann calls his musical miniatures created for the exhibition ‘Kippmomente’ (tipping moments). These take the change of rooms and the snapping into place at the new location as a motif. His allusive music focuses less on stray transitions than on concentration.

As a performer and dancer, Daniel Aschwanden deals with Bach’s Goldberg Variations, which he will perform for a day in public space.
