Raumfahrt VI – Badel/Sarbach, Val Minnig, Joaquim Cantor Miranda More
In the cellar of the Langmatt, young Swiss artists are once again given a platform for their current work. For the sixth time, «Raumfahrt» (Space Travel) takes the pulse of the young generation and provides surprising insights into new developments. At first glance, museums and insects would not appear to have a great deal in common. Spiders and woodlice are frequent but unwelcome guests in (in particular) the Langmatt’s cellar spaces, where exhibitions in the «Raumfahrt» series take place. The next instalment of «Raumfahrt» will take a look at these uninvited guests from an artistic perspective. We generally do not anthropomorphise insects, spiders and lice or show them affection, instead reacting to them with distaste and revulsion.
