It is part of the tradition of the Aargauer Kunsthaus to also and, indeed, especially draw attention to artists who pursue their creative visions far from the avant-gardes or the art market. The works of such artists are often characterized by a certain «inwardness,» as art serves to express an individual’s psychic life, thereby linking the inner and outer worlds, the unconscious and the conscious. These artistic practices are the subject of the collection presentation titled On the Border, which shows works of artists from various generations that operate in the field of tension between those opposite poles, including a. o. Silvia Bächli, Emma Kunz, Louis Soutter, Ilse Weber, Adolf Wölfli and Annelies Štrba.
