Raum im Raum im Raum / Space in space in space
25.11.–16.12.2017

The exhibition addresses nested space in different media. Thus, the title can certainly be read in relation to the rooms of the Haus zur Glocke, which are at the same time historical narrative spaces, just as they also open up the possibility of thinking spaces or illusionistic spaces.

Nora Schiedt’s paintings are based on impressions from walking through the city. She is interested in the emergence of traces and how they appear in brushwork. But this trace can also be understood as one’s own walking when the painter moves and looks through the city. In her work, Nora Schiedt uses this pendulum movement, the back and forth between painting and walking.

Jürg Hugentobler has created a “horizon” for the house, which refers to the timber-framed construction of the Haus zur Glocke, with its various geologically and historically conditioned displacements of ceilings and walls. In his “Photographs”, Jürg Hugentobler simulates situations that create atmospheric spaces through light and shadow that never existed as such, but which we can imagine through photography.

The artist trio JocJonJosch will work as a collective at the Haus zur Glocke in Steckborn for a week. They ask themselves whether and how they can collaborate on an artistic form – such as drawing. Thus, JocJonJosch always set new ‘rules of the game’ that define and influence the parameters of cooperation.
