Guest: Christoph Gossweiler Fiona Tan30 January - 18 April 2010The solo exhibition Rise and Fall brings together recent photographic and video works by Fiona Tan (born 1966, NL/ Indonesia). The artist creates moving portraits of people, captured in fascinating images, while subtly relating personal sentiments to their social and cultural context. Her works revolve around issues of identity and belonging as well as remembering and forgetting. Opening: Friday, 29 January 2010, 6 pm Hugo Suter30 January – 18 April 2010When looking at the entire oeuvre of Hugo Suter (born 1943, CH), one cannot fail to notice that, even though the artist employs a wide variety of media and techniques, photography is the golden thread that runs through it. At a time of incessant explorations, reflections and relativisations of the world, perception and art, the camera, for Suter, came to be an indispensable working tool. This exhibition highlights the importance of photography in his work, thus focusing on a hitherto neglected aspect of his art. Opening: Friday, 29 January 2010, 6 pm CARAVAN 1/2010: Nathalie Bissig30 January – 18 April 2010CARAVAN – Series of exhibitions of young art: This series of exhibitions enables the public to become familiar with the young Swiss art scene, introducing artists who are not yet established. These “mobile interventions” enter into a dialogue with the building and the collection of the Kunsthaus. CARAVAN is consequently set up each time at a different site in the Aargauer Kunsthaus. Opening: Friday, 29 January 2010, 6 pm Abstractions II30 January - 1 August 2010In the past decades the Aargauer Kunsthaus has examined the broad range of constructive, concrete and radical art from different angles. At the same time it has seen its collection expand through acquisitions and generous donations. The museum’s rich holdings allow for evernew dialogues to be set up between works. The current presentation focuses on the play with forms between rigid structure and free-flowing form. Opening: Friday, 29 January 2010, 6 pm Ugo Rondinone13 May – 1 August 2010Ugo Rondinone (born 1963, CH) is one of the foremost Swiss art practitioners of his generation. The New Yorkbased artist combines objects, video, performance, painting and photography with literature and sound into atmospheric installations, each time creating a beguiling universe. In this show, his most comprehensive solo exhibition in Switzerland to date, Rondinone presents numerous new works in addition to existing works. The exhibition is organised in cooperation with the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Castilla y León (MUSAC) in Spain. Opening: Wednesday, 12 May 2010, 6 pm CARAVAN 2/2010: Markus Uhr13 May - 1 August 2010CARAVAN – Series of exhibitions of young art: This series of exhibitions enables the public to become familiar with the young Swiss art scene, introducing artists who are not yet established. These “mobile interventions” enter into a dialogue with the building and the collection of the Kunsthaus. CARAVAN is consequently set up each time at a different site in the Aargauer Kunsthaus. Opening: Wednesday, 12 May 2010, 6 pm Yesterday Will Be Better21 August – 7 November 2010To mark its anniversary, the Aargauer Kunsthaus will mount a large group exhibition including national and international artists and revolving around the subject of memory as a precondition for the future. The impossible prediction that “Yesterday Will Be Better” gives a paradox twist to the old platitude claiming that “everything was better in the past.” The assumption that past and future are mutually dependent on one another raises several questions: How flexible is our memory? How do memories change or become distorted? Why do we remember and what purpose does forgetting serve? What wishes and ideas for the future will emerge? Opening: Friday, 20 August 2010, 7 pm Kunsthaus-Fest: Friday, 20 August - Sunday, 22 August 2010 tempi passati21 August - 7 November 2010The Aargau Art Collection is among the finest public collections of Swiss art of the modern era. Its exhibitions and activities have earned the Aargauer Kunsthaus a reputation which by now has spread throughout Europe and beyond. Many people and many things have contributed to this. In our anniversary year we can look back together on an eventful history: The 150 years old history will be presented in terms of a “Musée Sentimental,” using works of visual art, documents, photographs, books, posters, objects and various memorabilia. The exhibition is a joint project with the artist Christoph Gossweiler and the “Freistilmuseum.” Opening: Friday, 20 August 2010, 7 pm Kunsthaus-Fest: Friday, 20 August - Sunday, 22 August 2010 CARAVAN 3/201021 August - 7 November 2010CARAVAN – Series of exhibitions of young art: This series of exhibitions enables the public to become familiar with the young Swiss art scene, introducing artists who are not yet established.
