Together we experiment with letters and typography! In this workshop with poster designer and book printer Dafi Kühne typographic sketches are created—we cut, glue, design, and sketch using photocopied letters. We then discuss their qualities and implement our own design ideas.
Dafi Kühne (b. 1982) explores the creative possibilities of book printing, combining various analogue and digital techniques. He has run his studio babyinktwice in the canton of Glarus since 2009 and teaches internationally.

For adults and children. Children age 10 and up must be accompanied by an adult; those age 15 and up may attend unaccompanied. Maximum of 20 participants. The afternoon takes place as part of Rochelle Feinstein’s exhibition at Kunsthaus Glarus. Pre-registration until April 4: info@kunsthausglarus.ch

For her View of the Collection, Ines Kleesattel searches for evidence of bodies that elude powerful social narratives. Expanding on the exhibitions by Linda Bilda and Rochelle Feinstein, Kleesattel examines images from the Kunsthaus collection to explore what they might be “whispering” to us.
Ines Kleesattel is a philosopher, art historian, and artistic researcher. She works at the intersection of theory and practice on artistic, (queer) feminist knowledge practices. She is a professor at the Basel Academy of Art and Design.

Illustrator, comic artist, and artist Wanda Dufner reads from her new book Bauchlandung (2025) and then invites you to partake in a creative workshop. As a group, texts and images from newspapers and magazines will be cut out, recombined, and put together in surprising image sequences. The result is an exciting interplay of word and image—political, topical, and experimental.
Wanda Dufner (b. 1992 in Zurich and grew up in the canton of Aargau) studied visual communication with a focus on illustration fiction at the Lucerne School of Design, Film, and Art (HSLU). She lives and works in Lenzburg and deals extensively with social issues in her artistic work. For Bauchlandung she received the Comic-Stipendium der Deutschschweizer Städte fellowship in 2021 and was nominated for the Berthold Leibinger Stiftung’s comic book prize in 2023.

Ages 16 and up, max. 30 participants. The afternoon takes place as part of Linda Bilda’s exhibition at the Kunsthaus Glarus. Pre-registration until May 9: info@kunsthausglarus.ch

In conversation Rolf Thalmann and Philipp Hofstetter share insights into queer biographies from eastern Switzerland, discuss their longstanding work for the Schwulenarchiv Schweiz, the Heinrich Hössli Stiftung, and other organized contexts, and develop an approach to the collection of the Kunsthaus Glarus.
Dr. phil. Philipp Hofstetter studied history, economic history, and ethnology in Zurich, Lausanne, at Columbia in New Yor and Florence. He received his doctorate in economic and diplomatic history. He currently serves as co-director of a research project on the discrimination of homosexuals in the Swiss army between 1942 and 2020.
Dr. phil. Rolf Thalmann studied empirical cultural studies (formerly folklore), church history, and art history and was head of the Basel Plakatsammlung poster collection from 1982 to 2009. Since then he has been working on gay history, primarily in Switzerland.

The Linda Bilda estate is housed in the artist’s former studio in the Zacherlfabrik, 1190 Vienna. Work on its inventorying, cataloging, and presentation began in 2023. For their lecture, Helene Baur and Lucie Pia will talk about the concept and their joint work on it. The presentation of various archival documents will provide insights into Linda Bilda’s complex work and focus on questions relating to the development of a contemporary activist art practice as well as tracing formal and thematic references to the exhibition in Glarus.
Helene Baur, (b. 1985 in Graz) lives and works in Vienna where she runs the basis wien—archive and documentation center for contemporary art, together with Andrea Neidhöfer and Verena Lindner. In this context, she initiated the creation of the Linda Bilda estate in 2021.
Lucie Pia (b. 1993 in Bern) is a curator and art historian, and currently works as an assistant curator at the Kunstverein München. Until 2024, she was involved in the preliminary cataloging of Linda Bilda’s estate. She has independently organized exhibitions and discursive events for various institutions and taught at the University of Vienna and the University of Applied Arts Vienna.

Inspired by Rochelle Feinstein’s work with color, overlays and text, we experiment with the technique of cyanotype. Unique, deep blue images are created through light exposure and chemical reactions. We place objects, stencils, or drawings on coated paper and expose them to sunlight or UV light. The results are fascinating prints with detailed structures and exciting contrasts—abstract, playful, or very concrete.
Mara Danz (b. 1993, Glarus) is an art educator at Kunsthaus Glarus.

For children and teenagers age 6 and up, max. 13 participants. The afternoon takes place as part of Rochelle Feinstein’s exhibition at the Kunsthaus Glarus. Pre-registration until 13 June at info@kunsthausglarus.ch

Collections and estates are often family matters long before they (don’t) make it into the public domaiN: Matthias Sohr takes the final day of Linda Bilda’s exhibition Die goldene Welt as an opportunity to share his insights into the collection by drawing together different images of families and their relatives. Amazed by genre-specific inheritance logics, Matthias Sohr asks who or what is remembered and how, under what conditions.
Matthias Sohr is an artist and cultural historian. Exhibitions and easy-to-read languages are his preferred media. Sohr has shown his sculptures and performances internationally, including at the Korean Cultural Centre UK, London; Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo (MOT); Hamburger Bahnhof—Nationalgalerie der Gegenwart, Berlin; Forde, Geneva; and For, Basel. He is co-director of CIRCUIT Centre d’art contemporain, Lausanne. For the journal Bureaucracy Studies, he was awarded the 2023 Swiss Art Award in the category “Critique Publishing Exhibition.”
