Beschreibung
A Swiss monastery village steeped in history becomes a hotspot for contemporary art, curated by Dorothea Strauss A former shoemaker's cottage, an unused bowling alley, or the attic of a hotel - the exhibition BACKSTAGE ENGELBERG took place from June 23 to August 18, 2024, in unusual locations in the alpine community of Engelberg (Canton of Obwalden). The idea of realizing an exhibition in Engelberg came from Zurich gallery owner Peter Kilchmann. He invited Zurich-based curator Dorothea Strauss to develop a project for Engelberg. Paintings, photographs, objects, sculptures, drawings, installations, sound pieces, and videos - 53 artists from 18 countries have come together to show their work in 21 venues in Engelberg. Their creations are powerful reflections on today's world, addressing pressing issues such as climate change, sustainability, and explosive socio-political developments. The present 280- captures this unique journey of adventure with numerous texts (German/English) and an extensive illustrated section.
