«saying water» – A Reading by Roni Horn

Tuesday, May 14 at 7.30 p.m.
Fotomuseum Winterthur

In her monologue “saying water” the artist Roni Horn offers insights into her world of thoughts. She questions her own work, her spectators and herself by enwrapping her images with a series of literary allusions. Figures like Emily Dickinson, Hank Williams or Martin Heidegger refer to the enduring, to the constants that according to the artist also define water: “Water is the master verb, an act of perpetual relation.”
This anniversary reading to celebrate 20 years of Fotomuseum Winterthur will take place at Bistro George, Grüzenstrasse 45, entrance fee CHF 18.- / 12.-

Concrete – Photography and Architecture

March 2 – May 20, 2013
Fotomuseum Winterthur (Main Gallery, Gallery, Gallery of Collections)

Architecture has always been an important platform for the frequently heated discussion of ideas and views, zeitgeist and weltanschauung, everyday life and aesthetics. Pictures speak a language of their own. They transform volume into surface; distil matter into forms and signs. Photography shapes architecture, enlarging and reducing it, heightening and shortening it, accentuating it. Photography and architecture confront us on a daily basis, often without our even noticing, and they influence how we think, act and live in subliminal and lasting ways. “Concrete – Photography and Architecture“ seeks to approach the singular and complex relationship between architecture and photography in light-hearted, narrative and dialectical ways. The exhibition is accompanied by an extensive book published by Scheidegger & Spiess. More

The Swiss photographer Georg Gerster (born 1928 in Winterthur) ranks as one of the world’s most important exponents of aerial photography. Fifty years after his first photography flight, in Sudan in 1963, the Fotostiftung Schweiz in Winterthur is devoting a monographic exhibition to him. Under the heading “The Staff of Life. Aerial Photographs by Georg Gerster” it addresses the problem of world food, a focal point of his oeuvre. In addition to a number of iconic works, the exhibition will also contain numerous hitherto unpublished photographs. More
