Exhibition: Oct. 26, 2024 to March 29, 2025
The current exhibition at Haus Appenzell is dedicated to two Appenzell-born artists from different generations: Ludwig Stocker (*1932), who grew up in Herisau and now lives in Basel, and the "headstrong Appenzeller" Stefan Inauen (*1976). In their sculptures, both take up figures, objects and materials that revolve around the old and the new, transience and permanence in their very own way. Ludwig Stocker uses polystyrene as a metaphor for ageing and for vulnerability and instability in life. Stefan Inauen, on the other hand, presents discarded chairs under the catchy title "Friends of hopeless chairs" and presents them in a new artistic light.
The exhibition "Old young, young old" is complemented by a supporting programme dedicated to various aspects of old age in lectures, readings and workshops (for dates and information see event calendar).
26th October 2024 – 29th March 2025, opened Wed–Fri 1pm–5pm and Sat 11am–5pm.
