A time of upheaval
Together apart
Together apart
The 1970s were a period of upheaval in Switzerland and internationally: a spirit of experimentation left a lasting mark on art and society. Taking the Aarau scene and the Ziegelrain studio collective as its starting point, the exhibition brings together local, regional and national perspectives. Pop Art, Nouveau Réalisme and conceptual approaches engage in dialogue – both with one another and side by side. There is a particular focus on the collective working practices of the time, such as studio collectives and co-authorship. Fifty years on, what can we take away from this period of renewal? Curator Anouchka Panchard leads a video tour through the exhibition at the Aargauer Kunsthaus.
