Lutz & Guggisberg: Schollen aus der Vogelschau

The Bechtler Stiftung presents the exhibition Schollen aus der Vogelschau, showcasing the most recent works of the artist duo Lutz & Guggisberg who have been transforming everyday objects into art for over twenty years.

Andres Lutz and Anders Guggisberg work with materials such as wood, concrete, and found objects, which they rearrange in new contexts. Their works include sculptures, large-scale installations, painting, photography, and video. They invite viewers to engage with questions of consumer culture, sustainability, and the value of everyday materials.

The exhibition Schollen aus der Vogelschau explores the transformation of familiar, used materials into artistic objects, raising questions about the significance of resources in modern society. Used materials are repurposed, refined, and given a new purpose. For example, a kitchen blower found at the side of the road becomes a congress center, and a cubic plastic bucket turns into a sculpture. These architectural objects are placed in park-like, agglomerative settings – with tennis courts, benches, green Robydog bins, and wasteland strips that point to the modern landscape, shaped by traffic and industrialization. The model-like, sculptural table objects are complemented by integrated video elements and a musical soundscape that further deepens the play of transformation and perception.

The exhibition is curated by Lutz & Guggisberg.
