Surréalisme. Le Grand Jeu
2024 marks the centenary of the publication of André Breton’s Surrealist Manifesto, and thus the birth of the Surrealist movement. This French-language book celebrates 100 years of Surrealism, combining historical retrospection, interpretation, and the perspective of contemporary artists who explore Surrealist themes and forms in their work. It is based on the Surrealist literary magazine Le Grand Jeu, which was published between 1928 and 1930. Games to which the Surrealists referred are a core theme of the volume: chess and the “Jeu de Marseille,” a special set of tarot cards created by the Surrealists in the south of France, where many had to flee from German occupation between 1940 and 1944. Alongside, the essays investigate topics such as identity, metamorphosis, esotericism, kabbalah, and magic, as well as speculation, abstraction, and automatism. Moreover, new light is shed on the female members and affiliates of the Surrealist movement, including Claude Cahun, Leonora Carrington, Suzanne Duchamp, Leonor Fini, Gladys Hynes, Meret Oppenheim, Dorothea Tanning, and others. The book is also an homage to the never-published fourth issue of Le Grand Jeu, which has been preserved as a maquette and is reproduced here in facsimile images. Juri Steiner is the director of the MCBA, Plateforme 10 in Lausanne and a leading scholar of the history of Dada, Surrealism, and Situationism. Pierre-Henri Foulon is chief curator of contemporary art at the MCBA, Plateforme 10 in Lausanne.

Stranger in the Village
Rassismus im Spiegel von James Baldwin
Le racisme au miroir de James Baldwin
Aargauer Kunsthaus
Scheidegger & Spiess 28
Die roten Geranien, die in der Schweiz quasi als Nationalblumen gelten, prägen im Sommer unser Stadtbild und sind beliebte Postkartensujets. Wenige wissen, dass sie erst im 17. Jahrhundert von der Niederländischen Ostindien-Kompanie aus Südafrika nach Europa eingeführt wurden und eigentlich gar keine Geranien sind, sondern falsch identifizierte Pelargonien. Le géranium rouge, quasiment considéré comme une fleur nationale en Suisse, est un élément central de la physionomie estivale de nos villes et un sujet de carte postale très apprécié. Peu de gens savent que le géranium n’est arrivé en Europe qu’au XVII e siècle, importé d’Afrique du Sud par la Compagnie néerlandaise des Indes orientales, et qu’il ne s’agit en réalité pas d’un géranium mais d’un pélargonium faussement identifié.

Vorwort
Katharina Ammann
James Baldwins wegweisender Essay «Stranger in the Village» («Fremder im Dorf») ist 1953 in der renommierten amerikanischen Zeitschrift Harper’s Magazine erschienen. Ausgangslage war seine Erfahrung als Schwarzer Mann in der Schweiz. Genau 70 Jahre später nehmen wir im Aargauer Kunsthaus diesen Text als Grundlage für eine Ausstellung und zeigen, wie sehr Kunstschaffende dieses oft tabuisierte Thema beschäftigt. Als Institution nennen wir das Thema beim Namen mit einem gewissen Risiko, Kritik von ganz unterschiedlichen Seiten zu erfahren. Warum machen wir das? Wir verstehen uns als Ort, an dem das Publikum seine Kritikfähigkeit und Meinungsbildung weiterentwickeln kann. Hier finden die unterschiedlichen Mitglieder der Gesellschaft ihre eigenen Interessen und Meinungen einmal bestätigt, und ein andermal erleben sie Kontroverses oder Überraschendes. Unsere Vision ist es, den Blick für unsere Zeit zu schärfen und über die experimentierfreudige Auseinandersetzung mit Kunst und Kunstschaffenden eine offene, diverse und inklusive Gesellschaft mitzugestalten. Sind wir der richtige Ort dafür? Das Aargauer Kunsthaus wird nicht selten als Nationalgalerie bezeichnet. Obwohl wir uns zunehmend als Ort der Vermittlung und weniger als Ort der Repräsentanz positionieren, werden wir weiterhin als Referenzinstitution für die Kunst in und aus der Schweiz wahrgenommen. Wir machen uns umso bewusster, dass der Entscheid, was wir zeigen und wen wir sammeln, auch eine politische Dimension hat, die wir nutzen wollen. Haben wir die nötige Erfahrung? Eigene Rassismuserfahrung haben die wenigsten unserer Mitarbeitenden. Von Beginn der Ausstellungsplanung an setzten wir deshalb auf die Unterstützung durch ein Advisory Board, auf eine Vielstimmigkeit auch in der Publikation sowie auf die Weiterbildung für das ganze Museumsteam und für Entscheidungsträgerinnen und Entscheidungsträger aus unserem Umfeld. Die Lernkurve ist steil, die Sensibilisierung ist spürbar und beeinflusst unser Handeln. Wir haben uns auf den Weg gemacht, um die teils unsichtbaren Mechanismen des strukturellen Rassismus zu erkennen und anzuerkennen. Der Weg ist noch lang. Für diesen Prozess, diese Ausstellung und dieses Buch geht mein grosser Dank an Céline Eidenbenz, Sarah Mühlebach, Laura Arminda Kingsley vom Aargauer Kunsthaus sowie an Mandy Abou Shoak, Joshua Amissah, Rich Blint, Estefania Cuero, Melanie Grauer, Sasha Huber, Bill Kouélany, Nayansaku Mufwankolo, 30

Die Arbeit der schweizerisch-guineischen Fotografin befasst sich damit, wie die afrikanische Identität (hier die Zulu-Gemeinschaften) durch das westliche Auge repräsentiert wird. Diese Serie zeigt eine neue Generation, die ihre Zukunft aufbaut und ihren Platz in der Gesellschaft zu finden versucht. Le travail de la photographe helvético-guinéenne s’intéresse à la manière dont l’identité africaine (ici les communautés zoulou) est représentée à travers le regard occidental. Cette série présente une nouvelle génération qui se construit un avenir et se cherche une place dans la société. Namsa Leuba (La Grande Béroche *1982 .

Stranger in the Village Le racisme au miroir de James Baldwin
James Baldwin (1924–87) penned his famous essay “Stranger in the Village” in the early 1950s during a stay in the Swiss Alpine village of Loèches-les-Bains. It is the starting point for an artistic examination of the subject of racism in Switzerland, and in the art and culture industries in particular, that is documented in this multilingual French-German book. Works by international contemporary artists—including Igshaan Adams, Kader Attia, Omar Ba, James Bantone, Marlene Dumas, Melanie Grauer, Jonathan Horo witz, Sasha Huber, Pierre Koralnik, Glenn Ligon, Martine Syms, and others—reflect and react to Baldwin’s literary-political treatise. Essays contributed by distinguished authors supplement the artistic debate and highlight the consequences of the prevailing structural racism. The book is an invitation to break taboos. It holds a mirror up to us, raising questions that concern us all, and reveals the topicality of everyday racism to every one of us through the artworks it features. Céline Eidenbenz is a curator and head of the program group at the Aargauer Kunsthaus in Aarau, Switzerland, where Sarah Mühlebach works as a research assistant.

Aldo Mozzini è un outsider e come tale è naturale che una delle sue più grandi abilità consista nel tenersi in equilibrio, lontano dalle facili classificazioni e in un certo senso anche fuori dal tempo. Le sue opere, come personaggi e relitti, accompagnano il suo mood notturno e dimesso, come i membri di un coro sgangherato. Aldo ama chiamare le costruzioni e gli abitacoli che costellano la sua opera installativa “le mie casette”. Da questi oggetti abitabili – un po’ autoritratti e un po’ materializzazioni di una stratificazione della memoria urbana collettiva – siamo partiti nel concepire questa insolita monografia, che pretende di mostrare l’opera dell’artista in una prospettiva storica e allo stesso tempo ne celebra l’attitudine ostinata, in perpetua opposizione al senso comune e al clamore dello spettacolo. L’opera di Mozzini dà voce a un’idea di resilienza che vuole rimanere opaca, accessibile solo fino a un certo punto. Trasmette calore e immanenza, spesso incute in noi un sentimento di tenerezza o di compassione, salvo poi farci accorgere di essere stati facili prede di sentimenti meccanici che non per forza siamo in grado di controllare. Le cose, le forme, i ritmi e persino i colori, prima di essere isolati e resi riconoscibili da una qualche forma di cultura fluiscono indisturbati. Utilizzando i resti e i materiali di scarto come mezzo di ispirazione per concepire le sue installazioni ambientali, Mozzini rende semplicemente visibile uno stato delle cose che tutti noi percepiamo ma che spesso ci dimentichiamo di osservare. Nel suo lavoro c’è spazio per l’introspezione, ma anche per quei sentimenti che l’estetica mainstream evita accuratamente di contemplare: la gelosia, la cattiveria, l’ottusità, l’ostilità, l’insidia, il capriccio e il partito preso. Mi sono permesso di ribattezzare questi ritratti architettonici vernacolari con il termine di “casematte”, mettendo in evidenza la natura bellica che le contraddistingue, il loro essere nate con lo scopo di stimolare l’incertezza e lo spaesamento riconnettendoci a un universo archetipo che non siamo abituati a stimolare in modo analogico. Le casematte di Aldo Mozzini sono dotate di personalità e si sanno adattare agli ambienti più disparati. Fatte di rifiuti, di resti edili, di pezzi di legno e di cartone si esprimono al meglio in luoghi imperfetti o trasandati; si sviluppano e proliferano nelle zone d’ombra. E spesso sono autoilluminate, quasi a reclamare il diritto di esprimere la loro diversa natura.

des geselligen Beisammenseins, unbequem und wackelig, wie sie sind. Gemein ist ihnen, dass sie alle bereits ein Leben hinter sich haben. Gleichberechtigt und ihres Daseins bewusst, leicht lädiert, sind sie in der Gegenwart angekommen, um nach Ausstellungsende im künstlerischen Lager in Einzelteile zerlegt ein zweites und später drittes Leben zu leben. Ihre zeitbasierte, anthropomorphe Figürlichkeit mutet humorvoll und gleichzeitig melancholisch an, stehen ihnen doch die Vergänglichkeit und die Spuren des Lebens sozusagen ins Gesicht oder in die Gliedmassen geschrieben. Wie gelingt es Aldo Mozzini, diese Aura des Ungeschliffenen und Ursprünglichen immer wieder mit solcher Präzision zu erreichen? Er selber betont auf diese Frage hin den Moment des Anspruchslosen als Basis jeglichen künstlerischen Erzeugnisses. Dabei gilt es immer und immer wieder, das perfektionierte Handwerk zu vergessen und an den Ursprung zurückzukehren — und weil dies nicht wirklich möglich ist, diesen ersten und puren Moment immer und immer wieder in Erinnerung zu rufen.
Grottino (III), 2023
Aldo Mozzinis zeichnerisches Werk ist in seiner Entstehung durchaus den Skulpturen verwandt und hat einen genauso narrativen Charakter. Wenige Sätze, Wortkombinationen wechseln sich ab mit Zeichnungen, die sich auf den ersten Blick aus einer ununterbrochenen, schnellen Linie herausschälen. Simple Umrisse von Objekten, Labyrinthen, Situationen, geometrische Formeln reihen sich aneinander und erzählen nur vermeintlich eine Geschichte. In Wirklichkeit funktionieren sie assoziativ und lassen, vergleichbar mit Mozzinis dreidimensionalen, zusammengebauten Charakteren, viel Spielraum für die Lesart seitens der Betrachtenden. Das zeichnerische Werk findet seinen Niederschlag in Booklets, Notizbüchern und erinnert an Tagebücher, in denen alltägliche Ideen, Erlebtes und Erfahrenes oder Erdachtes zusammengefasst werden und eine Präsenz des Existenziellen verbreiten. An dieser Stelle will ich innehalten und eine der eingangs erwähnten Brücken in die Kunstgeschichte schlagen. Wir finden uns im Herzen der Innerschweiz wieder, meiner Geburts- und aktuellen Wirkungsstätte, nur mindestens 55 Jahre früher, als das Wirken von Jean-Christoph Ammann seit den späten 1960er-Jahren im Kunstmuseum Luzern bei einer jungen Künstlergeneration – Aldo Walker, Urs Lüthi, Martin Disler oder Hugo Suter – tiefe Spuren hinterliess.

Aldo Mozzini. Casematte
Aldo Mozzini. Casematte is the first major book on the work of Swiss artist Aldo Mozzini. It features his energetic art through more than 200 illustrations along with texts by distinguished Swiss curators. A conversation with the artist rounds off the volume, which highlights Mozzini’s contribution to the contemporary art scene in Switzerland. Born in Locarno in 1956, Aldo Mozzini has lived and worked in Zurich since the 1980s. Galleries and museums in Switzerland, Italy, and France have shown his works in solo and group exhibitions, and he has won the Swiss Art Award twice, in 2012 and 2019. His oeuvre comprises drawing, painting, objects, photography, sculpture, and installation, moving restlessly from one form of expression to another. The book reviews 40 years of Mozzini’s career and explores various aspects of his humorous and poetic art. The impressive body of his paintings and graphic works is closely linked to the sculptures and installations that remain Aldo Mozzini’s preferred media. Noah Stolz, born 1976, is a Geneva-based freelance curator, critic, and editor. He also directs the interdisciplinary archive project Stella Maris (stellamaris-atlas.net).

Hans Pieler Architectures of Time
For thousands of years, people have built so-called calendar buildings: structures that served as sundials for measuring time or were used for astronomical calculations. The most famous examples include the Pyramids of Giza, the Megalithic Temples of Malta, the Solarium Augusti on Rome’s Campus Martius, as well as ancient observatories in Korea, Baghdad, Cairo, or Samarkand. The oldest known archeo-astronomical device dates back to around 6000 BCE and was only discovered some twenty years ago at Nabta Playa in Egypt. The German photographer Hans Pieler (1951–2012) dedicated himself and his work of many years to these calendar buildings. In a wide-ranging photographic project spanning fifteen years, Pieler travelled the world in search of such sites, studied them, and recorded many of them in striking photographs. His interest was focused both on the architecture and its particular coding through the respective culture as well as on the theory of photography as an allegorical image of time. Pieler’s premature passing in 2012 led to the fascinating project remaining unfinished and unpublished. This book now for the first time features a selection of some 100 of the best images from the artist’s estate. Supplemented by illuminating essays, they form a unique photographic study of these architectures and their meaning and purpose as a reflection of time set in stone. Hubertus von Amelunxen is an art historian, editor, curator, photography critic, and professor for the philosophy of photography and cultural studies. He served as president of Braunschweig University of Art and of the European Graduate School, based in Saas-Fee, Switzerland, and Valletta, Malta. Ali Ghandtschi is a Berlin-based photographer and keeper of the estate of Hans Pieler.

Circle! Square! Progress! Zurich’s Concrete Avant-garde. Max Bill, Camille Graeser, Verena Loewensberg, Richard Paul Lohse and Their Times The Zurich Concretists—along with Dada—are the most important art movement originating from Switzerland. Rooted in the Bauhaus, Soviet Constructivism, and De Stjil, it helped to shape European post-war modernity and Latin American art. The Concretists aimed to change society through typography, design, and architecture, and they played a key role in the development of Swiss Graphic Style. This book tells their story in the context of their times.

For centuries, the Alps were an almost insurmountable barrier on the way from Europe’s north to the south, and vice versa. Today, highways and high-capacity railroad lines serve as indispensable transit routes. Richard von Tscharner’s striking photographs demonstrate the boldness of Switzerland’s modern Alpine crossings and their beautiful landscapes. Supplementary essays trace their history, explain their military importance, and describe the vision that resulted in the construction of new base tunnels for train lines opened in 2007 and 2016.

Alfredo Häberli Verbal Doodling. 30 Years, Questions, Answers. Alfredo Häberli is one of the world’s most widely acclaimed product designers. Major international brands such as BMW, Camper, Georg Jensen, Iittala, or Vitra can be found among his clients. In the first of these two volumes, Häberli looks back at the people, places, and objects that have influenced him and shaped his ideas and creative process. For the second volume, he has invited 30 personalities from his circle to ask him one question each, which he answers frankly and in good humor.
Ernst Scheidegger Photographer Ernst Scheidegger (1923–2016) ranks among Switzerland’s most distinguished photographers of the 20th century. His portraits of artists made his name internationally. Scheidegger’s photographs of Alberto Giacometti at his Paris studio or in his native Val Bregaglia in Switzerland continue to shape the public image of this celebrated artist today. Ernst Scheidegger: Photographer offers a fresh and contemporary look at his multi-faceted body of work. In particular, it enables an encounter with Scheidegger’s hitherto little-published early work and thus undertakes a reass essment of his entire oeuvre. The images are supplemented by essays that trace his career and self-concept as a photographer and bring his personality to life.

Hannah Höch Assembled Worlds In the 1920s, Hannah Höch (1889–1978) broke with the traditions of representation and vision. Her works dissected a world marked by the catastrophe of the Great War and an intense consumer culture, and reassembled it in revolutionary, poetic, and often ironic ways. Höch kept to her artistic means and her poetic-radical imagination, oscillating between social observation and a dream world, even in the post-WWII period. Scissors and glue were the weapons of her art of montage, of which she was a co-inventor. Richly illustrated and expertly annotated, Hannah Höch: Assembled Worlds for the first time explores this extraordinary artist’s fascination with film and the visual culture of the modern industrial age. The book demonstrates how the technique of montage evolved in the interplay between artistic experimentation, commercial exploitation, and political appropriation.
