Colours across the entire rainbow spectrum and shapes that no one expects: This year's edition of Flowers to Art showed visitors that floral interpretations can still surprise us even after ten editions, and that early spring in Aarau looks fascinatingly different every year. Our loyal visitors were once again delighted this year by the floral interpretations of works from the Aargauer Kunsthaus collection.
Ishita Chakraborty (*1989) is the recipient of the Manor Art Prize Aarau 2024, which is awarded every two years to support young artists in Switzerland. The prize comes with a solo exhibition at the Aargauer Kunsthaus as well as a publication, both scheduled for spring 2025.
Katharina Ammann joined the Board of Trustees of the Swiss Institute for Art Research (SIK-ISEA) in early December. Prior to becoming the Director of the Aargauer Kunsthaus in 2020, she served as Head of the Art History Department at SIK-ISEA for five years. There are numerous connecting factors between the profiles and strategic focus of the two institutions, making the collaboration on any project particularly close and productive.
The new corporate design of the Aargauer Kunsthaus was developed by Atlas Studio in winter 2022/2023. The typeset asterisk is transformed into a shining star and merges with the 'A' to form an instantly recognizable character in its own right. In the future, it will greet you not only in green but a variety of colors – in recognition of the diversity of our visitors and activities.
The design of the individual communication media for the exhibitions and the presentations of the collection are created in close consultation with the artists and curators and reflect the diversity of the art forms persent in the Aargauer Kunsthaus.
With sustainability in mind, we are streamlining our range of printed products and increasing the proportion of digital communication. We invite you to visit our website for more detailed information on the collection, exhibitions and mediation projects.
