HAUPTBAU
17:00–17:45

Dryck Flader trifft Licht

In German. Ein Feuerlöscher in der Ausstellung. Eine kalkulierte kuratorische Entscheidung? Die Arbeit einer zeitgenössischen Künstlerin? Oder doch bloss reiner Pragmatismus? Dryck Flader befragt das Zusammenspiel aus Architektur, Kunstwerken und Alltäglichen und nimmt so mit Ironie und Witz die Logik des Kunstmuseums auseinander. Gemeinsam mit den Besucher:innen werden Assoziationen gesponnen, Kunstgeschichte mit Popkultur verwoben und neue Interpretationen entworfen. Eine Werkbetrachtung der anderen Art. Kosten: Eintritt + CHF 5.
