An afternoon of live concerts by Ana Jikia, Iku, and Lonely Boys. From 2 - 6 pm. The performances will take place in an installation-based setting designed by Lonely Boys.

Iku (Johanna Ordersky, Lausanne/Berlin) works within the genre of spherical music and also has an artistic practice in sculpture. In her music, Iku weaves samples into a network of emotionally dense, melancholic sounds. Her early releases were produced as ambient tracks, but now she often features her own, Autotune-enhanced voice.

https://soundcloud.com/ikukojohanna

Ana Jikia (Basel/Tbilisi) also works with samples. She breaks up harmonious, classical sounds using unpredictable, dark snippets of sound that morph into club music whose techno beats Jikia then underlays with spherical sounds. Ana Jikia is a producer and DJ, but also has a visual-arts practice.

https://soundcloud.com/waterdragon00

Lonely Boys (Berlin/Vienna) are Daphne Ahlers and Rosa Rendl. The artpop-duo is known for their manipulations of voice and multiplication of identities. Through the sincerity of pop sentiment they create an unmistakably honest expression of love and feeling. Their over-emotional pop-songs are built around a raw instrumental base and laconic lyrics that emphasize on sexual dynamics and fission. This year they will come out with a double LP including new tracks of the duo as well as unreleased solo material.

Two years ago Claudio Landolt put the idea into his head to record a mountain. From more than 100 hours of sound recordings on the Vorderglärnisch, the Glarus cultural journalist, author & musician composed a sensual-poetic audio journey consisting of airborne and structure-borne sound recordings, voice memos and seismic waves on and in the mountain. The resulting sound piece transcends genre boundaries, combines phonographic nature recordings with currents of drone music and neo-classical music.

Parallel to this, Claudio Landolt has written a volume of poetry. Equally driven by the search for the sound of a mountain, he created playful linguistic miniatures and prosaic poetry. The volume of poetry including a download code for the sound piece will be published in April 2021 by Der gesunde Menschenversand.

Now, the mountain is going on a stage tour in sound and text: in an intimate live show, Landolt invites you to a lyrical short reading and an extraordinary listening journey in the context of an audio piece performance.

In the current exhibition Im Volksgarten, which also describes the address of the Kunsthaus with its title, the understanding of “possession” goes beyond the object and is returned to the space: it is about forms of taking possession of space, but also about fetishization and desire. How is the status of objects and things altered when they enter the museum? How do these things seduce us? What significance does the private and intimate have in this public realm. But also: what social or political and public meanings do we associate with the museum? Otto Bonnen is curatorial assistant at the Kunsthaus Glarus and cordially invites you to a guided tour of the exhibition Im Volksgarten–Olivia Ali+Tobias Kaspar, Rachal Bradley, Trisha Donnelly, Richard Frater, Carissa Rodriguez, Julia Scher, Bea Schlingelhoff. The guided tour will be about one hour and is free of charge.

On the basis of a selection of works, we will discuss with Alexandra Blättler and Judith Welter current issues arising from the collection work in Lucerne and Glarus. For example: How can a collection be developed into the future? What gaps are there when you look back? What challenges are associated with the heterogeneous diversity of a collection?

We continue the series of Collection Picks with Otto Bonnen. He is curatorial assistant at the Kunsthaus Glarus and will provide an insight into the graphic arts holdings of the collection, which are rarely presented to the public. Due to the Covid-19 editions, the Collection Pick will take place in the KKG. Small groups will nevertheless have the opportunity to visit the Schaudepot.

Together with the artist, we sharpen our senses and perception of what affects us in the rooms through various exercises. Afterwards we will measure one of the two labyrinths and together we will build a new labyrinth in the exterior of the Kunsthaus. This workshop is aimed at children from 4-12 years and is free of charge.

An event on the occasion of the publication of the book The Glacier's Essence and at the end of the exhibition by Martin Stützle and Fridolin Walcher.

Eva Barto (*1987, lives and works in Paris) discusses together with Judith Welter her work Promesse d'endettement provisoire (2019–2022), which was acquired as part of the exhibition Just Another Story about Leaving. An amount of CHF 3'000 has been agreed with the Glarner Kunstverein to produce a work within three years that will be dedicated to the Kunstverein's collection.

On the occasion of the exhibition The Glacier's Essence we are continuing the series of conversations Collection Picks with the geologist Dr. Mark Feldmann. He will present a selection of works from the collections housed in the Schaudepot to talk about the presentation of geological phenomena in painting and the current situation of the Glarus glaciers.

Fridolin Walcher and Judith Welter guide together through the current exhibition Des Gletschers Kern. In May 2018 the two Glarus artists Martin Stützle and Fridolin Walcher travelled to Greenland as part of a research expedition. On the basis of the research carried and their impressions, the two artists created a series of works last year that can be seen for the first time in Kunsthaus Glarus. In doing so, the two artists relate their own environment – the Glarus Alpine region – to the threatened Greenlandic ice landscape and present us with the abstract phenomenon of climate change.

The SPOTNIX Filmclub is screening the French documentary film by Luc Jacquet from 2015 about the life's work of glaciologist Claude Lorius. After eight years of research in the Antarctic, Lorius was one of the first scientists to warn of the consequences of global warming in 1965. The now 88-year-old researcher traveled to the Antarctic in the mid-1950s as part of an expedition and subsequently dedicated his entire research life to the ice. He soon showed that humans are responsible for the previously proven global warming. The proof was provided by evaluating dozens of ice layers that stored the climate of the earth's history over thousands of years. Lorius came to the conclusion that the air bubbles trapped in the ice provided information about the composition of the atmosphere and thus provided a portrait of the Earth's climate.

There is a bar and snacks between the guided tour and the film.

We are continuing the series of conversations Collection Picks with Fred Jaumann. As a Glarner Kunstverein board member, he will present his own selection of works from the collections housed in the Schaudepot of the Kunsthaus Glarus.

After the public tour through the exhibitions with Judith Welter, we will show the film The Watermelon Woman (1996) by Cheryl Dunye.as part of the exhibition Just Another Story about Leaving.

In 1997, the American artist Zoe Leonard showed the Fae Richards Archive in her solo exhibition at the Kunsthaus Glarus. The photographic documentation of the exhibition can be seen in the current collection exhibition Just Another Story about Leaving. The collection of black and white photographs documents the life of the fictional actress Fae Richards, about whom the film protagonist Cheryl in Cheryl Dunye's film The Watermelon Woman wants to make her first film.

The film The Watermelon Woman was shown for the first time in 1997 at the Kunsthaus Glarus as part of the exhibition. The fictional black actress Fae Richards had an affair with a white Hollywood director in the 1930s. Parallel to her research on the actress, Cheryl also develops a relationship with a white woman and is confronted with questions of the sexualisation of lesbian women and of blackness. Fae Richard's life is constructed as a film within a film, while the Fae Richard Archive in the exhibition steps out of film fiction and develops a life of its own.

The film will be shown in Englisch. Admission to the film screening is free of charge.

Off Kunsthaus Glarus: at Güterschuppen Glarus

Caterina Barbieri (IT/DE), Gabriele Garavaglia (IT/CH), Bendik Giske (NO/DE), Lolina (EST/UK) / Visuals by Vera Karlsson, Albrecht Pischel (DE)

Osmosis is an event that brings together musicians and artists interested in various ways in the interplay between social and architectural space and sound as well as in the manipulative effects of minimalism and repetition. Presented as part of the Off Kunsthaus Glarus program, the evening at the Güterschuppen initiates an experimental format between performance, concert, and exhibition setting. Taking their respective contexts – electroacoustic composition, jazz improvisation, experimental club music, performance – as starting points, Caterina Barbieri, Gabriele Garavaglia, Bendik Giske, Lolina, and Albrecht Pischel confront in various ways the complex interrelationships between space, sound, and body.

Caterina Barbieri works primarily with analog modular synthesizers to produce her music. Her compositions examine the spatial qualities of electronically generated sound, which takes on a quasi-sculptural character. Working with minimalist structures, Barbieri creates during her sets elegant harmonies reminiscent of trance music, complex rhythmic structures, and driving atmospheres. Her new album, Ecstatic Computations, will be released in early May by Editions Mego, the prestigious independent label for experimental electronic music. Lolina is a producer and performer of electronic music. Her self-released albums and EPs - RELAXIN’ with Lolina EP (2015), Live in Paris (2016), Lolita EP (2017), The Smoke (2018) - are lo-fi digital, bedroom studio productions and repeated vocal compositions. Following the release of Live in Geneva (2019), Lolina will perform in Glarus a new live set of experimental beatbox, with visuals by Vera Karlsson. Saxophonist Bendik Giske explores queer aspects of physicality, endurance, and vulnerability. During his performances, a minimalistic repetition of sounds and gestures in space yield transcendental qualities. In Glarus he will play an entirely acoustic set. Gabriele Garavaglia’s performances are based on minimal interventions in people’s outer appearances in certain social settings, such as exhibition openings. His interventions transform such settings in incidental ways. For the Commission Roundabouts record-edition series, Albrecht Pischel invited artists to create imaginary roundabout sculptures presented on spinning vinyl records. In Glarus he shows Commission Roundabouts by Alexi Kukuljevic, Veit Laurent Kurz, Matt Mullican, Dan Peterman, Raphaela Vogel, and B. Wurtz. Here the interplay of space and sound is negotiated in an implicit and explicit way.

Organized by Jan Vorisek 

Admission: CHF 15

Alicia Frankovich, Twins and Lovers - The performance is a live encounter of 5 performers to a constantly changing collective multi-body creature. Based on concepts of gender and biopolitics, the artist pursues the idea of ​​a diversity of relationships, incarnations and possibilities of change for individuals within society. In these duplications - of twins and lovers - the differences and connections between bodies and forms are interwoven and celebrated.

Helga Wretman, In-Group Photo - Helga Wretman is an artist, fitness addict and stuntwoman. In her performance, she awakens as sense of cohesion and interdependence within the audience by rehearsing physical exercises with the participants. These exercises are typically used to build up and strengthen group dynamics in companies. By creating a sense of community and sympathy within the group the exercises are intended to foster individual identity as well as emotional affiliation with the group. In business contexts, this is also supposed to increase productivity. At the end of the performance, a group photo is taken in order to document this transformation. Comfortable clothes recommended! At the end of the performance, a group photo is taken and spread by social media in order to document this transformation and communicate it.

Emma Haugh, Reading Troupe Manual 02 Emma Haugh has collaged materials together from Adrian Piper’s ‘Notes on Funk‘ (1984), a collaborative performance and lecture on Funk music (it’s history, relation to race and class, and the learning of funk dance moves) for the cover of her own Reading Troupe Manual 02. The manual contains instructions for a performative and theatrical reading technique. In RT sessions readers are invited to participate in an active embodiment of knowledge dissemination and production. This collaborative practice is an attempt to collectively enter the body of a chosen text through improvisation and amateur dramatics rather than analytic and academic language.

Selina Grüter & Michèle Graf (born 1991 and 1987 in Zurich, live and work in Zurich) make their friendship or the wider community generated by it both the subject and material basis of their work. Their performance practice, ever reflective of the aspect of performing, is based on the involvement of individuals from their immediate surroundings and examines the role of the individual within different communities and relationships. On Friday evening the second part of their performance, which was concipated for the exhbition, will be shown at the Kunsthaus Glarus. The resulting subjective video documentation by Ramaya Tegegne will subsequently be shown as part of their installation until the end of the exhibition. Cyber and Victory - An Incorporation for 5 Characters and Voice is performed by Niria Frey, Michèle Graf, Selina Grüter, Daniel Keller and Elena Nyffeler.

Ramaya Tegegne (born 1985 in Geneva, lives and works in Geneva) explores the intangible factors of art production in her work often based on text and art historical references. She examines, for instance, the function of gossip and the role of friendships in artistic networks. With Version #18: Adrian Piper (2016) Ramaya Tegegne continues her series of bootlegs of performances by other artists. It is based on the documentation Shiva Dances with the Art Institute of Chicago (2004) of a lecture by Adrian Piper. For her it is imperative that our opinions, discourses, and analyses be refined, many-sided and subtle. She thus invites us to experience the complexity and particularity of any one thing, any one person, any one experience through bodily sensations.

Was erzählt ein Bild und umgekehrt: Was kann ich über ein Bild erzählen? Ausgehend von Werken aus der Sammlung des Glarner Kunstvereins werden Themen der aktuellen Ausstellung aufgenommen. In einem gemeinsamen Gespräch bringen wir unterschiedliche Sichtweisen und Perspektiven zusammen und denken über die Bedeutung und Geschichten der ausgewählten Werke nach. Auf Wunsch wird ein gemeinsamer Rundgang durch die Ausstellung in das Gespräch integriert.

Der Kunstdialog für Familien und Erwachsene findet einmal pro Ausstellung an einem Sonntagnachmittag von 14 bis 15.30 Uhr statt. Es ist keine Anmeldung notwendig.
