Emmenbrücke (near Lucerne, Switzerland), August 21, 2023. Introduction by Claudia Waldner (in German language, transcript / English translation below).Transcript / translation:We are now in the “akku”, in the art platform in Emmenbrücke. I was a guest curator there in 2023 and was allowed to conceive and implement a three-part exhibition concept with the overall title "Haut Haus" (skin house). The first exhibition, which took place in the spring, a group exhibition with nationally known artists, dealt with the skin, i.e. the organ and the protective function of our skin, the shell, in a very poetic way. It was actually an examination of the innermost being. With “Haus” (house), in the second exhibition shortly before the summer, it was really about the house and not about our houses in general, but it was about this place here, about this wonderful hall in this “Viscose” area, about this “akku” art platform and this place and this space, but also about dealing with such a place in the art context: So cultural-political topics were discussed, like the change in art, maybe, participation was also a topic and actually also the artistic creation in the process. A group of artists lived here in the places and in the rooms here, actually around the clock, and incorporated the system with their system. There were real principle and system discussions about the market, about money and art and the world.
