edition:
3rd Sculpture Biennale

Curator
Guido Magnaguagno

The 3rd Sculpture Biennale brought together works by 26 artists who dealt with sculptural creation, i.e. sculptural bodies in space. They spanned the temporal arc from the Iron Age to the present, which is characterised by digitalisation, among other things. The Iron Age does not refer to the early days of cultural history, but to the heyday of Swiss iron sculpture in the 1960s and spans the arc into the virtual age.

The focus was on the materials and techniques used and thus on the immanent conditions they offer in terms of form and content. The exhibition course, which stretches through the idyllic landscape of the Weiertal, is an obstacle course: through artefacts created by human hands, tools and machine technology.
