IN THE FOREST
Kunsthaus Grenchen
06.03 – 15.08.2021
“The forest has always had a special place in society and culture. In myths, fairy tales and folk beliefs, it is not only a setting, but also has its own function, marking the border between the familiar and the unfamiliar. Against the backdrop of heightened sensitivity towards environmental and climate protection, not a day goes by without the forest making headlines in some form or another. The group exhibition brings together works by artists from Switzerland who approach the theme of the forest in an artistic way. The forest as a place of the uncanny, the undisturbed nature and idyll is thematized as well as the forest as a habitat and economic factor.”
Curated by Claudine Metzger. With works by Angela Lyn, Yann Amstutz, Julian Charrière, Teresa Chen, Marianne Engel, Alex Hanimann, Marcus Maeder, Luca Mengoni, Nico Müller, Felix Studinka, Esther van der Bie.
