In a dialog guided tour, Rhona Mühlebach will provide insights into her artistic work and its contexts.

Rhona Mühlebach uses narrative forms to explore moments of dissonance between people, language, and the natural world. In Mühlebach’s video and installation work, human characters are tormented by idealism and disillusionment. They try and fail to express their feelings. Reality falls short of expectations. Unmoved by human anxieties, nature generally holds the upper hand. Mühlebach is interested in the limitations of language. This emerges where the failure of words to accurately describe human emotion (regardless or even in spite of fluency) complicates the aspirations and desires of her characters. This “failure of words” is a generative space for the artist, who treats language as a malleable, tactile medium to be shaped and reshaped. Nature emerges as a projection space for ideals, where the characters attempt to "find themselves." Unaffected by human anxieties, nature usually retains the upper hand.

Mühlebach delves into the complex development process of Ditch Me (Multimedia Installation, 2023), the video work presented at Kunsthaus Glarus. She reflects on the depicted network of the gradual evolution of a specific landscape and transposes historical aspects into a newly imagined fictional universe. In this universe, a multitude of characters and stories are interwoven — from Roman and medieval soldiers to lovers, and even eccentric figures like lice and a violinist.

In a dialogue guided tour and presentation, Reinhard Markus Ebner will offer insights into his artistic work and its development.

Great fidelity to nature and a love for detail dominate his early etchings. These works feature fantastical scenarios set in dreamlike architectures and landscapes, sometimes subtly critical of society, but always with a tendency toward alienation. After the turn of the millennium, Ebner shifted to canvas painting and abandoned the world of objects. No more stories, no titles, no pathos.

This shift marked a Copernican turn in his creative journey. Liberating himself from rigid representational meaning and reducing his expressive means to purely geometric elements opened up vast space for personal interpretation. Through imagination, viewers bring themselves into the artwork, participating in the creative process and forming "their" unique interpretation of the piece.

During the presentation, Ebner will discuss his approach to interpreting abstract works directly in front of his pieces.

In a dialog guided tour and presentation, Reinhard Tobler will provide insights into his artistic work and its contexts.

Reinhard Tobler's artistic practice often revolves around himself, reflecting on his upbringing in a multicultural family, growing up between Trogen and beyond this village, or navigating life between Switzerland and Korea. He seeks to distill experiences and stories, translating them into the present. Even in his media-based works, Tobler explores the concept of "in-between." He navigates between the analog and digital realms, as well as across various media. These moments of transition often become integral to, or the very subject of, his works.

The presentation begins with a discussion of Tobler’s work on display at the Kunsthaus. Following this, there will be an opportunity to watch the artist’s videos together with the artist, offering additional insights into his multifaceted artistic practice.

In a dialog guided tour and presentation, Tomas Baumgartner will provide insights into his artistic work and its contexts.

The driving force behind Baumgartner's artistic practice can be traced to a desire to understand how the mechanisms of memory and imagination are connected to the world of physical objects and spaces. How are we shaped by what we have seen and perceived? To what extent do these experiences control us, and how freely can we move beyond them?

Starting with his works presented in the current exhibition, Tomas Baumgartner will give participants an insight into the creation process of his works, discuss the material qualities of the pieces, and talk about potential references within art. Additionally, during the portfolio presentation, previous works will be discussed, including a body of work created in 2024 that played a crucial role in the development of the exhibited pieces.

After a joint tour of the exhibition, we can continue discussing what we've seen over a meal at the Kunsthaus.

Cost: CHF 20 / CHF 15 (reduced) / CHF 10 (for members of the Glarner Kunstverein)

In the afternoon for children, you will step into the role of a performance artist under the guidance of artist Gregory Tara Hari.

In this afternoon for children, Martina Bee (kindergarten/primary and design teacher) will playfully get to the bottom of the “Nine Chapters of the Mathematical Art”, one of the oldest Chinese math books. Together, we measure the space with our bodies and construct the world around us using also other tools. In doing so, we relate the space to ourselves and stage ourselves creatively and inventively. The participants will measure, estimate, make assumptions and make connections to our everyday lives, which are full of the wonderful mathematics that the current exhibition by the two artists Jay Chung & Q Takeki refers to. Mathematics is a tool for exploring and understanding the world around us.

Under the working title “Fug and mold of Swiss Modernism”, Arthur Fink has selected works from our collection by artists who stand somewhere between the bourgeois-pietistic mental spaces of the 19th century and the escapist-utopian phantasms of modernism. The focus is on works by Ernst Carl Gerlach Stückelberg, Fritz Pauli, Helen Dahm and Ernst Morgenthaler, for example. Thematically, this insight into the collection develops links to our current collection exhibition with works from the Paul Fröhlich estate.

We start at the Kunsthaus and set off on foot on a drawing exploration tour towards Chalchi Netstal. The different locations invite different strategies of seeing and drawing: overview, details, simplifications, linear and flat vision. Our view of landscape should also be the topic. We will not look for traditional idylls, but will try to deal with contemporary ideas. We will be walking for over an hour and the path is partly narrow and steep. Your own drawing material (e.g. A3 or A2 drawing pad, various pens) is very welcome - additional material and folding chairs are provided.
Michael Honegger is a teacher of visual design at Kanti Glarus. He appreciates drawing outside in order to arrive at a place and in the moment and to become curious about what there is to see. He will explore this immersion in an environment with you during the workshop.

Staged Worlds presents Stimmung Live!, a new composition for live electronics and six voices. The core sonic material of the work consists of sounds generated with a unique Serge Modular system, amplified by loudspeakers installed in various rooms as well as the outside spaces of the Kunsthaus Glarus. These sonic environments will be captured via microphone and fed back into the exhibition. In Stimmung Live! an interconnecting network of signals creates a sonic architecture that moves through and beyond thresholds. Moreover, what takes place inside both affects and responds to what is happening outside, culminating in a merging of sounds re-emitted and further amplified by the chorus.

Open rehearsals for Stimmung Live! will take place all afternoon on Friday, May 10 and Saturday, May 11. The concert will take place on Saturday, May 11 at 8pm.

CHORUS
Staged Worlds is still searching for one person to complete the Stimmung chorus. If you feel like that could be you, please contact  office@kunsthausglarus.ch or 055 640 25 35.

An afternoon of live concerts by Ana Jikia, Iku, and Lonely Boys. From 2 - 6 pm. The performances will take place in an installation-based setting designed by Lonely Boys.

Iku (Johanna Ordersky, Lausanne/Berlin) works within the genre of spherical music and also has an artistic practice in sculpture. In her music, Iku weaves samples into a network of emotionally dense, melancholic sounds. Her early releases were produced as ambient tracks, but now she often features her own, Autotune-enhanced voice.

https://soundcloud.com/ikukojohanna

Ana Jikia (Basel/Tbilisi) also works with samples. She breaks up harmonious, classical sounds using unpredictable, dark snippets of sound that morph into club music whose techno beats Jikia then underlays with spherical sounds. Ana Jikia is a producer and DJ, but also has a visual-arts practice.

https://soundcloud.com/waterdragon00

Lonely Boys (Berlin/Vienna) are Daphne Ahlers and Rosa Rendl. The artpop-duo is known for their manipulations of voice and multiplication of identities. Through the sincerity of pop sentiment they create an unmistakably honest expression of love and feeling. Their over-emotional pop-songs are built around a raw instrumental base and laconic lyrics that emphasize on sexual dynamics and fission. This year they will come out with a double LP including new tracks of the duo as well as unreleased solo material.

Two years ago Claudio Landolt put the idea into his head to record a mountain. From more than 100 hours of sound recordings on the Vorderglärnisch, the Glarus cultural journalist, author & musician composed a sensual-poetic audio journey consisting of airborne and structure-borne sound recordings, voice memos and seismic waves on and in the mountain. The resulting sound piece transcends genre boundaries, combines phonographic nature recordings with currents of drone music and neo-classical music.

Parallel to this, Claudio Landolt has written a volume of poetry. Equally driven by the search for the sound of a mountain, he created playful linguistic miniatures and prosaic poetry. The volume of poetry including a download code for the sound piece will be published in April 2021 by Der gesunde Menschenversand.

Now, the mountain is going on a stage tour in sound and text: in an intimate live show, Landolt invites you to a lyrical short reading and an extraordinary listening journey in the context of an audio piece performance.

In the current exhibition Im Volksgarten, which also describes the address of the Kunsthaus with its title, the understanding of “possession” goes beyond the object and is returned to the space: it is about forms of taking possession of space, but also about fetishization and desire. How is the status of objects and things altered when they enter the museum? How do these things seduce us? What significance does the private and intimate have in this public realm. But also: what social or political and public meanings do we associate with the museum? Otto Bonnen is curatorial assistant at the Kunsthaus Glarus and cordially invites you to a guided tour of the exhibition Im Volksgarten–Olivia Ali+Tobias Kaspar, Rachal Bradley, Trisha Donnelly, Richard Frater, Carissa Rodriguez, Julia Scher, Bea Schlingelhoff. The guided tour will be about one hour and is free of charge.

On the basis of a selection of works, we will discuss with Alexandra Blättler and Judith Welter current issues arising from the collection work in Lucerne and Glarus. For example: How can a collection be developed into the future? What gaps are there when you look back? What challenges are associated with the heterogeneous diversity of a collection?

We continue the series of Collection Picks with Otto Bonnen. He is curatorial assistant at the Kunsthaus Glarus and will provide an insight into the graphic arts holdings of the collection, which are rarely presented to the public. Due to the Covid-19 editions, the Collection Pick will take place in the KKG. Small groups will nevertheless have the opportunity to visit the Schaudepot.

Together with the artist, we sharpen our senses and perception of what affects us in the rooms through various exercises. Afterwards we will measure one of the two labyrinths and together we will build a new labyrinth in the exterior of the Kunsthaus. This workshop is aimed at children from 4-12 years and is free of charge.

An event on the occasion of the publication of the book The Glacier's Essence and at the end of the exhibition by Martin Stützle and Fridolin Walcher.

Eva Barto (*1987, lives and works in Paris) discusses together with Judith Welter her work Promesse d'endettement provisoire (2019–2022), which was acquired as part of the exhibition Just Another Story about Leaving. An amount of CHF 3'000 has been agreed with the Glarner Kunstverein to produce a work within three years that will be dedicated to the Kunstverein's collection.

Die Arbeiten in der aktuellen Ausstellung Des Gletschers Kern zeigen verschiedene Formen und Farben von Eis und Schnee auf. Dies werden wir zum Anlass nehmen, um uns im Kunsthaus auf die Suche nach verschiedenen Facetten von Weiss zu begeben. Welche Farben lassen sich im Schnee und Eis noch entdecken? Und warum sind in den meisten Museum die meisten Wände weiss gestrichen? Wir freuen uns auf Deinen Besuch!

Für Kinder von 4 bis 12 Jahren. Diese Veranstaltung ist kostenlos.

On the occasion of the exhibition The Glacier's Essence we are continuing the series of conversations Collection Picks with the geologist Dr. Mark Feldmann. He will present a selection of works from the collections housed in the Schaudepot to talk about the presentation of geological phenomena in painting and the current situation of the Glarus glaciers.

Fridolin Walcher and Judith Welter guide together through the current exhibition Des Gletschers Kern. In May 2018 the two Glarus artists Martin Stützle and Fridolin Walcher travelled to Greenland as part of a research expedition. On the basis of the research carried and their impressions, the two artists created a series of works last year that can be seen for the first time in Kunsthaus Glarus. In doing so, the two artists relate their own environment – the Glarus Alpine region – to the threatened Greenlandic ice landscape and present us with the abstract phenomenon of climate change.

The SPOTNIX Filmclub is screening the French documentary film by Luc Jacquet from 2015 about the life's work of glaciologist Claude Lorius. After eight years of research in the Antarctic, Lorius was one of the first scientists to warn of the consequences of global warming in 1965. The now 88-year-old researcher traveled to the Antarctic in the mid-1950s as part of an expedition and subsequently dedicated his entire research life to the ice. He soon showed that humans are responsible for the previously proven global warming. The proof was provided by evaluating dozens of ice layers that stored the climate of the earth's history over thousands of years. Lorius came to the conclusion that the air bubbles trapped in the ice provided information about the composition of the atmosphere and thus provided a portrait of the Earth's climate.

There is a bar and snacks between the guided tour and the film.

We are continuing the series of conversations Collection Picks with Fred Jaumann. As a Glarner Kunstverein board member, he will present his own selection of works from the collections housed in the Schaudepot of the Kunsthaus Glarus.

After the public tour through the exhibitions with Judith Welter, we will show the film The Watermelon Woman (1996) by Cheryl Dunye.as part of the exhibition Just Another Story about Leaving.

In 1997, the American artist Zoe Leonard showed the Fae Richards Archive in her solo exhibition at the Kunsthaus Glarus. The photographic documentation of the exhibition can be seen in the current collection exhibition Just Another Story about Leaving. The collection of black and white photographs documents the life of the fictional actress Fae Richards, about whom the film protagonist Cheryl in Cheryl Dunye's film The Watermelon Woman wants to make her first film.

The film The Watermelon Woman was shown for the first time in 1997 at the Kunsthaus Glarus as part of the exhibition. The fictional black actress Fae Richards had an affair with a white Hollywood director in the 1930s. Parallel to her research on the actress, Cheryl also develops a relationship with a white woman and is confronted with questions of the sexualisation of lesbian women and of blackness. Fae Richard's life is constructed as a film within a film, while the Fae Richard Archive in the exhibition steps out of film fiction and develops a life of its own.

The film will be shown in Englisch. Admission to the film screening is free of charge.

Off Kunsthaus Glarus: at Güterschuppen Glarus

Caterina Barbieri (IT/DE), Gabriele Garavaglia (IT/CH), Bendik Giske (NO/DE), Lolina (EST/UK) / Visuals by Vera Karlsson, Albrecht Pischel (DE)

Osmosis is an event that brings together musicians and artists interested in various ways in the interplay between social and architectural space and sound as well as in the manipulative effects of minimalism and repetition. Presented as part of the Off Kunsthaus Glarus program, the evening at the Güterschuppen initiates an experimental format between performance, concert, and exhibition setting. Taking their respective contexts – electroacoustic composition, jazz improvisation, experimental club music, performance – as starting points, Caterina Barbieri, Gabriele Garavaglia, Bendik Giske, Lolina, and Albrecht Pischel confront in various ways the complex interrelationships between space, sound, and body.

Caterina Barbieri works primarily with analog modular synthesizers to produce her music. Her compositions examine the spatial qualities of electronically generated sound, which takes on a quasi-sculptural character. Working with minimalist structures, Barbieri creates during her sets elegant harmonies reminiscent of trance music, complex rhythmic structures, and driving atmospheres. Her new album, Ecstatic Computations, will be released in early May by Editions Mego, the prestigious independent label for experimental electronic music. Lolina is a producer and performer of electronic music. Her self-released albums and EPs - RELAXIN’ with Lolina EP (2015), Live in Paris (2016), Lolita EP (2017), The Smoke (2018) - are lo-fi digital, bedroom studio productions and repeated vocal compositions. Following the release of Live in Geneva (2019), Lolina will perform in Glarus a new live set of experimental beatbox, with visuals by Vera Karlsson. Saxophonist Bendik Giske explores queer aspects of physicality, endurance, and vulnerability. During his performances, a minimalistic repetition of sounds and gestures in space yield transcendental qualities. In Glarus he will play an entirely acoustic set. Gabriele Garavaglia’s performances are based on minimal interventions in people’s outer appearances in certain social settings, such as exhibition openings. His interventions transform such settings in incidental ways. For the Commission Roundabouts record-edition series, Albrecht Pischel invited artists to create imaginary roundabout sculptures presented on spinning vinyl records. In Glarus he shows Commission Roundabouts by Alexi Kukuljevic, Veit Laurent Kurz, Matt Mullican, Dan Peterman, Raphaela Vogel, and B. Wurtz. Here the interplay of space and sound is negotiated in an implicit and explicit way.

Organized by Jan Vorisek

Das Kunsthaus Glarus wird für die anstehende Sanierung seine Türen für ein Jahr schliessen. Vor der grossen Pause im Haus und zum Abschluss der Ausstellung EPIC TIME von Bonnie Camplin laden wir am Samstag, den 18.08.2018, zu einem Sommerfest ein. Wir freuen uns bei dieser Gelegenheit zwei neue Editionen von Marta Riniker-Radich und Bonnie Camplin zu präsentieren. Ebenso gibt es bereits den ganzen Tag über einen kleinen Kunsthaus-Flohmarkt mit Raritäten und Doubletten aus unserem Lager und der Bibliothek.

Programm: 

ab 16.00 Uhr
XXL-Skizzenbuch: Im Schneelisaal im Untergeschoss entsteht ein überdimensionales Skizzenbuch, das die «epische Spur» der aktuellen Ausstellung verfolgt. Mit Kunstvermittlerin Ursula Helg

17.00 Uhr
Rundgang durch die Ausstellung mit Bonnie Camplin und Judith Welter (* in Englisch)

ab 18.00 Uhr
Sommerfest mit Sommerdrinks, Siedwurst, Focaccia, Salat und DJ Bruhin bis open end

Die Führung gibt einen Einblick in die aktuelle Einzelausstellung EPIC TIME der britischen Künstlerin Bonnie Camplin (*1970, lebt und arbeitet in London). In unterschiedlichen Medien umkreist sie universelle und komplexe Themen, die grundsätzliche Fragen des Menschseins (und des Künstlerseins) betreffen. Im Zentrum steht die Auseinandersetzung mit Bewusstseins- und Realitätsbegriffen. Bonnie Camplin erforscht, wie wir mit unserer materiellen, menschlichen und übersinnlichen, nicht-menschlichen Umwelt in Verbindung stehen und diese wahrnehmen. In den letzten Jahren entstand ein geheimnisvoller, fantastischer und gleichzeitig formelhafter Bildkosmos.

Wer ist «Zu-Mir»? Entdecke mit Pinsel und Farbe deine eigene Form!
Hast du schon einmal die Formen der Wolken studiert? Dann weisst du bestimmt, dass sich diese fortwährend verändern. Sie können an einen Elefanten, einen Zwerg, einen Blumenkohl oder eine Katze erinnern. Nie wissen wir im Voraus, welche Gestalt eine Wolke annehmen wird. Ähnliches kann man beim Zeichnen erleben. Die Künstlerin Bonnie Camplin zum Beispiel lässt sich am liebsten von Formen überraschen, die wie von selbst entstehen. Wie das geht, zeigt euch die Glarner Künstlerin Erika Schneider. Wir lassen uns von ihr durch die Ausstellung begleiten und suchen nach Formen, die uns interessieren. Anschliessend dürft ihr eure eigenen «Zu-Mirs» gestalten. Sie werden Teil einer kleinen Ausstellung, die bis zum 19.08.2018 im Kunsthaus öffentlich zu sehen sein wird.

Wer die Ausstellung von Marta Riniker-Radich schon besucht hat, weiss, dass manche ihrer Zeichnungen einem das Wasser im Munde zusammenlaufen lassen. Die Künstlerin lässt mit ihren Farbstiften süsse Träume entstehen, die zum Zugreifen und Geniessen einladen. Sie stehen für eine heimelige Welt der Geborgenheit und Wärme und lassen Schlaraffenlandfantasien entstehen, die einen immer wieder verführen können. Doch verbirgt sich dahinter tatsächlich ein «Wohlfühlland»? Damit es im Kunsthaus für einmal nicht bei der Augenschwelgerei bleibt, hat sich die Kunstvermittlung zum Internationalen Museumstag und Muttertag ein ganz besonderes Experiment ausgedacht. Lassen Sie sich überraschen! Besuchen Sie uns mit der ganzen Familie und mit Freunden und tauchen Sie ein in ein real gewordenes Schlaraffenland…

Die Teilnahme ist für alle kostenlos. Bei Gruppen von mehr als 10 Kindern bitten wir um eine Voranmeldung per Email: kunstvermittlung@kunsthausglarus.ch oder per Telefon: 079 635 48 74.

Warst du schon einmal im Schlaraffenland? Es soll in diesem Wunderland alles geben, wovon wir träumen und keiner muss dafür arbeiten. Wie dieses Land ausschaut, weiss niemand so genau. Die farbigen Zeichnungen der Künstlerin Marta Riniker-Radich nehmen uns mit auf eine Reise an Orte, die uns nicht selten an das Schlaraffenland erinnern. Doch ist dieses Traumland wirklich, was es verspricht? Gemeinsam schauen wir uns die unterschiedlichen Zauberwelten an und basteln als Muttertagsüberraschung unser eigenes Schlaraffenland. Läuft dir schon jetzt das Wasser im Munde zusammen? Dann komm zu unserem Kindernachmittag!

Am 13. Mai wird dein gebautes Schlaraffenland im Kunsthaus für deine ganze Familie und deine Freunde zu besichtigen sein, zusammen mit einer weiteren Überraschung, die wir jetzt noch nicht verraten!

Die Teilnahme ist kostenlos. Bei Gruppen von mehr als 10 Kindern bitten wir um eine Voranmeldung per Email: kunstvermittlung@kunsthausglarus.ch oder per Telefon: 079 635 48 74.

Du meinst Kunst hat vor allem mit Leinwand, Farbe und Pinsel zu tun? Weit gefehlt! Das neugierige Tüfteln und Experimentieren mit Technik und Licht war für viele Künstlerinnen und Künstler wichtig. In unserem Workshop bauen wir unter Anleitung der Makers im Zigerschlitz einen kleinen Käfer. Wir beobachten, worauf er reagiert und wie wir ihn durch den Raum lenken können. Zum Schluss veranstalten wir mit den Käfern eine Performance. Die abstrakten Bilder, die dabei entstehen werden am Wochenende vom 03.-04.03.2018 im Kunsthaus Glarus ausgestellt.

Im Rahmen seiner Recherchen für die Klöntal Triennale stiess Florian Germann auf angebliche Licht- und Marienerscheinungen in und um den Kanton Glarus, die zum Ausgangspunkt seiner Aktionen wurden. Seit der Eröffnung wurden immer wieder abstrakte Lichterscheinungen über dem Klöntalersee beobachtet. Als Schlusspunkt der Klöntal Triennale lüftet der Künstler das Geheimnis und gewährt Einblick in seine Arbeitsweise, mysteriöse Inspirationsmomente und die technischen Hintergründe seiner Machenschaften. Ein Demonstrationsflug bringt zusätzliches Licht ins Dunkel.

Nach einer Kaffee- und Kuchenpause führt Ursula Helg (Kunstvermittlerin Kunsthaus Glarus) mit einem Rundgang durch die aktuelle Sammlungsausstellung und hält Ausschau nach weiteren Lichtspuren in Kunstwerken der Sammlung des Glarner Kunstvereins.

Das Geheimnis der Perlen von Manhattan und andere Kunstwerke, die die Wahrheit auf den Kopf stellen!

Lässt du dich leicht täuschen oder erkennst du sofort, wenn dich jemand an der Nase herumführen will? Gehst du der Wahrheit gerne auf den Grund oder magst du gerade das Ungewisse? Im Kunsthaus steht die Wahrheit derzeit Kopf. Wie und warum, das gilt es herauszufinden. Wir laden dich und deine ganze Familie ein, in unsere brodelnde Gerüchteküche einzutauchen! Sucht gemeinsam die Perlen von Manhattan und lasst Euch vom kreativen Spiel der Künstler mit Erfundenem überraschen und inspirieren.

Mit Ursula Helg, Kunstvermittlerin

Wahr oder erfunden? Das ist die knifflige Frage, die sich derzeit im Kunsthaus stellt. Wir werden zu Detektiven und nehmen die Geschichten, die uns die Künstler erzählen unter die Lupe. Wer will uns einen Bären aufbinden oder uns an der Nase herumführen? Wir halten Ausschau nach den sichtbaren und unsichtbaren Märchen und beobachten, mit welchen Tricks die Künstler arbeiten.

Mit Ursula Helg, Kunstvermittlerin

Alicia Frankovich, Twins and Lovers - The performance is a live encounter of 5 performers to a constantly changing collective multi-body creature. Based on concepts of gender and biopolitics, the artist pursues the idea of ​​a diversity of relationships, incarnations and possibilities of change for individuals within society. In these duplications - of twins and lovers - the differences and connections between bodies and forms are interwoven and celebrated.

Helga Wretman, In-Group Photo - Helga Wretman is an artist, fitness addict and stuntwoman. In her performance, she awakens as sense of cohesion and interdependence within the audience by rehearsing physical exercises with the participants. These exercises are typically used to build up and strengthen group dynamics in companies. By creating a sense of community and sympathy within the group the exercises are intended to foster individual identity as well as emotional affiliation with the group. In business contexts, this is also supposed to increase productivity. At the end of the performance, a group photo is taken in order to document this transformation. Comfortable clothes recommended! At the end of the performance, a group photo is taken and spread by social media in order to document this transformation and communicate it.

Emma Haugh, Reading Troupe Manual 02 Emma Haugh has collaged materials together from Adrian Piper’s ‘Notes on Funk‘ (1984), a collaborative performance and lecture on Funk music (it’s history, relation to race and class, and the learning of funk dance moves) for the cover of her own Reading Troupe Manual 02. The manual contains instructions for a performative and theatrical reading technique. In RT sessions readers are invited to participate in an active embodiment of knowledge dissemination and production. This collaborative practice is an attempt to collectively enter the body of a chosen text through improvisation and amateur dramatics rather than analytic and academic language.

Dafi Kühnes im Foyer präsentiertes Projekt Neue Nachrichten aus der Druckerei des Kunsthaus Glarus wird erst im Laufe der Ausstellung vollendet: An sechs Freitagen wird er während den regulären Öffnungszeiten auf einer Buchdruck-Andruckpresse aus den 1960er Jahren ein Plakat drucken, das er jeweils um 17 Uhr im Kunsthaus aufhängen wird.

Was erzählt ein Bild und umgekehrt: Was kann ich über ein Bild erzählen? Wir nehmen die Ausstellung Kunstschaffen Glarus zum Anlass, um Geschichten zu Bildern zu erzählen. Wir halten unsere Erzählungen in Wort und Bild fest und interviewen uns gegenseitig, notieren und zeichnen auf. Zum Abschluss gestaltet jede und jeder zu seinem Lieblingswerk eine Mini-Geschichte zum Nachhause-Nehmen.

Die Veranstaltung richtet sich an Familien und Erwachsene. Die Teilnahme ist gratis.

Zum Ende der Ausstellung Every Cell Is a Bell von Shana Moulton laden wir herzlich ein zum Sommerfest mit Grill, Drinks und Kino.

Programm:
17.00 Uhr: Führung mit Judith Welter
Ab 18.00 Uhr: Grill von Raffael Müller und Bar
Anschliessend (bei Dämmerung) Open-Air-Kino mit Walt Disney's Fantasia (1940)

Fantasia (1940) wurde Ende der 1960er Jahre zum Kultfilm und visuellen Aushängeschild einer Generation, die mit bewusstseinserweiternden Drogen experimentierte und alles Psychedelische kultivierte. Shana Moultons halluzinatorischen Bildwelten und ihr serieller, clipartiger Erzählfluss verweisen unter anderem auf diesen Kultfilm – wie auch auf weitere Referenzen aus der amerikanischen Fernseh- und Kinowelt. Zum Sommerausklang zeigen wir den Film bei schönem Wetter im Vorhof des Kunsthauses.
Trailer

Parallel zum Sommerfest findet in der Gepäckausgabe ab 18.00 Uhr die Finissage der Ausstellung Im Phasenraum von Tamara Hauser mit einem Konzert von Laura Livers statt.

Cynthia lebt in einer bunten Welt voller wundersamen Dingen, in der Hosen ohne Beine gehen können, in der sich Schubladen von alleine öffnen. Cynthia fliegt zum Fenster hinaus oder geht durch Wände. Die Videos und Installationen von Shana Moultons aktueller Ausstellung im Kunsthaus Glarus kreisen um die Erlebnisse der Figur Cynthia ¯ dargestellt von der Künstlerin selbst.

Wir tauchen in ihr phantastisches Universum ein, lassen uns inspirieren und gestalten eine eigene kleine Wunderwelt.

Die Teilnahme ist kostenlos. Bei Gruppen von mehr als 10 Kindern sind wir dankbar um eine Anmeldung an: kunstvermittlung@kunsthausglarus.ch.

Sich von ausgewählten Bildern aus der Sammlung des Glarner Kunstvereins und von der Architektur des Kunsthauses im buchstäblichen Sinn bewegen zu lassen, ist Ziel unseres Nachmittags. Entdecken Sie mit der Glarner Künstlerin Lisa Eikrann, wie sich Kunst mit Leben füllt, wenn wir ihr für einmal nicht nur mit den Augen begegnen. Ausgangspunkt und Anstoss für dieses Experiment ist die performative Ausstellung Public Collection of Modern Art von Alexandra Pirici & Manuel Pelmuş. Wir werden uns die Performance gemeinsam ansehen und Fragen zu dieser Kunstform beantworten. Ein offener Nachmittag für alle, die performative Kunst nicht nur sehen sondern mit dem eigenen Körper ausprobieren wollen.

Die Veranstaltung richtet sich an Erwachsene. Die Teilnahme ist mit Museumseintritt gratis.

Mit Ursula Helg, Kunstvermittlerin und Lisa Eikrann, Künstlerin

Selina Grüter & Michèle Graf (born 1991 and 1987 in Zurich, live and work in Zurich) make their friendship or the wider community generated by it both the subject and material basis of their work. Their performance practice, ever reflective of the aspect of performing, is based on the involvement of individuals from their immediate surroundings and examines the role of the individual within different communities and relationships. On Friday evening the second part of their performance, which was concipated for the exhbition, will be shown at the Kunsthaus Glarus. The resulting subjective video documentation by Ramaya Tegegne will subsequently be shown as part of their installation until the end of the exhibition. Cyber and Victory - An Incorporation for 5 Characters and Voice is performed by Niria Frey, Michèle Graf, Selina Grüter, Daniel Keller and Elena Nyffeler.

Ramaya Tegegne (born 1985 in Geneva, lives and works in Geneva) explores the intangible factors of art production in her work often based on text and art historical references. She examines, for instance, the function of gossip and the role of friendships in artistic networks. With Version #18: Adrian Piper (2016) Ramaya Tegegne continues her series of bootlegs of performances by other artists. It is based on the documentation Shiva Dances with the Art Institute of Chicago (2004) of a lecture by Adrian Piper. For her it is imperative that our opinions, discourses, and analyses be refined, many-sided and subtle. She thus invites us to experience the complexity and particularity of any one thing, any one person, any one experience through bodily sensations.

Siehst du das gelbe Ungeheuer vor dem blauen Hintergrund? Weißt du, was es denkt? Ist es traurig oder fröhlich? Hast du eine Ahnung, wie es sich im Raum bewegt? Hörst du, welche Geräusche es dabei macht? Dies alles wollen wir gemeinsam mit der Glarner Künstlerin Lisa Eikrann herausfinden. Sie zeigt uns, wie aus Linien, Farben, Formen und Klecksen Bewegungen und Töne entstehen können und wie es sich anfühlt, wenn wir uns selbst in ein Vogeltier verwandeln. Zuallererst aber werden wir uns in den Räumen des Kunsthauses eine Performance ansehen.

Die Veranstaltung richtet sich an Kinder mit oder ohne Begleitung. Die Teilnahme ist gratis.
