One month prior to the end of every year, the Aargauer Kunsthaus opens its doors to regional artists and presents the Auswahl in collaboration with the Aargauer Kuratorium. Guests of the museum are invited to experience the diversity, dynamism, and endless potential of artists from the Aargau region through some 50 works of art.

The jury appointed jointly by the Aargauer Kunsthaus and the Aargauer Kuratorium makes a selection from around 150 dossiers and decides on participation in Auswahl 25.

As part of the selection process, the Aargauer Kuratorium awards grants for works and funding in the fields of visual arts and performance.

Guest Artist: Angela Anzi

The deadly nightshade (Atropa belladonna) has always been associated with seduction, medicine, and danger. Using this as her point of departure, Angela Anzi (*1981) draws on tales from Greek mythology and the Early Modern Age. In Poisonous Potentials (2025), the artist uses sound elements to create an extensive scene, simultaneously concrete and ephemeral. Anzi combines a ceramic hand and three fluted vessels hanging in the room with sounds to create an atmospheric interplay, thus expanding the boundaries of sculpture to a multi-sensory installation.
