Ein Garten ist ein Garten ist ein Garten – Nidwaldner Museum, Winkelriedhaus, CH-Stans

Jun 28 – Oct 5, 2025

Opening: Jun 27, 2025, 6 pm

In Alice im Wunderland taucht der Garten gleich zweimal auf: Sorgfältig gepflegt und übersichtlich, widerspiegelt er zu Beginn die Menschenwelt als rigide geordneten und beherrschten Ort. In der Traumwelt wiederum tritt Alice in einen wilden Hort mit unbekannter und wunderlicher Fauna und Flora ein, der endlose Möglichkeiten und Überraschungen zu versprechen scheint. Bestimmt visualisieren Geschichten wie Alice im Wunderland das verheissungsvolle Wesen eines Gartens. Sie verweisen aber auch auf das breite Spektrum des Gartens als Metapher für die stetige Aushandlung der Frage nach unserem Bezug zur Natur.
Wie können wir mit unserer Umwelt verbunden sein und sie für unsere Bedürfnisse pflegen, während wir zur gleichen Zeit in ihren natürlichen Lauf eingreifen, sie zerstören und ausbeuten? In ihren Arbeiten nehmen sich die Kunstschaffenden dieser Ausstellung des Konzepts des Gartens als kultiviertes Stück Erde an, um es als gesellschaftliches und kulturelles Konstrukt zu reflektieren.

Mit Werken von: Elvira Bättig, Brigham Baker, Sabian Baumann, Alexandra Baumgartner, Quynh Dong, Klodin Erb, Roberta Faust, Nils Amadeus Lange & Mario Petrucci Espinoza, Felix Stöckle und einer kuratierten Zusammenstellung von Kunstbüchern durch José Miguel del Pozo.

Kuration: Katrin Sperry

How’s My Painting – Deichtorhallen, Sammlung Falckenberg, Hamburg

Mar 1 – Sep 7, 2025

Following the anniversary exhibition INSTALLATIONS FROM 25 YEARS OF THE FALCKENBERG COLLECTION (2019), which was dedicated to installations as the core medium of the Falckenberg Collection, the focus will shift to painting in 2025. In the exhibition HOW’S MY PAINTING?, the medium will be presented comprehensively for the first time with over 100 works from the Falckenberg Collection.

Starting with Werner Büttner, Albert Oehlen and Martin Kippenberger, who stirred up the established art scene of the 1980s with their punk-inspired attitude and, together with their American colleagues of the same age Raymond Pettibon and Mike Kelley, represent the concept of counter culture that has shaped the Falckenberg Collection, the exhibition spans an arc to all varieties of the medium, from panel painting to its installative, deconstructive and conceptual manifestations.

Von hier aus. Jubiläumsausstellung – Bündner Kunstmuseum, CH – Chur

Feb 22 – Jun 15, 2025

The Anniversary Exhibition “From Now On” focuses on the collection of the Art Museum Graubünden, shows specific peculiarities and develops perspectives for the future. In 1900 the Bündner Kunstverein began with the development of an art collection. In the meantime the collection includes about 8000 works from all fields of fine art from the 18th century up to the present, and reflects the medial diversity of artistic creation. Since its foundation it has been shaped by Graubünden’s specific cultural situation: This includes the influence of the alpine landscape as well as the interplay between emigration and tourism. Artists come and go, carry the exceptional into the world and bring the world to Graubünden. The history of art in Graubünden is characterised by a variety of significant figures and movements that have led to specific focal points. The aspiration is to keep the historically grown collection independent and unique. Therefore the existing priorities will be cultivated and expanded and new accents will be set.

The anniversary exhibition “From Now On” is spread out across the whole museum with both houses (Villa Planta and Extension Building). The highlights of the collection are thereby just as much in focus as the new acquisitions of the past years with which the collection was enlarged. A particular concern of the exhibition is its perspective into the future: “From Now On” does not only mean embedded locally, but also wants to show in what way the museum collection can be extended. For this purpose specific loan requests will be made and works commissioned.
