Johannes Gachnang — New Historical Architectures
March 21 – April 27, 2024
Opening: Thursday March 21, 6-9pm
Haus Max Ernst Haefeli
Goldbacherstrasse 72, 8700 Küsnacht
The drawings and etchings by Johannes Gachnang (1939-2005) depict fantastic architectures. Gachnang, who was best known as a publisher and the former director of Kunsthalle Bern, produced them in the late 1960s and early 1970s without the knowledge of the larger public.
For this in-situ exhibition, Gachnang's spatial imaginings are set in relation to the historic building of suns.works’ new location nestled on Küsnacht’s hillside, a modernist villa designed by Max Ernst Haefeli in the 1930s.
In collaboration with ETH Zurich's Institute for the History and Theory of Architecture (gta), a special display of historical plans and drawings will accompany the exhibition. A simultaneous presentation will take place at the “Periscope” of the gta Institute on the Hönggerberg campus of ETH Zurich.
With special thanks to: Enrica Groeller-Caratti, hotz stöckli Architekten, Gabriel Müller, Fredi Fischli & Niels Olsen
