Exhibition Overview
"«Ausbruch & Rausch» at Strauhof" is a group show featuring artists such as Heidi Bucher, Klaudia Schifferle, Urs Lüthi, Peter Fischli, David Weiss, Martin Disler, and more. The exhibition delves into the cultural movement that emerged in Zurich around 1980, showcasing original works, archive materials, and film footage that highlight the impulses behind this artistic period.Artistic Exploration
The exhibition explores the intersection between art and non-art, presenting outrageous exhibitions that are both popular and feminist. It serves as a collective experiment in culture, challenging traditional notions of what culture is and could be. The artworks on display reveal a language that is candid and captivating, emphasizing a claim for liveliness in the artistic realm.Women Artists Collective
Inspired by Heidi Bucher's stories about the Womanhouse in Los Angeles, the exhibition features the work of a 35-person creative feminist collective known as "Frauen sehen Frauen" ("Women See Women"). This collective organized provocative works and stimulating discussions, oscillating between theatrical installation, "cabinet of intimacy," and educational parkour to examine gender roles and everyday lives of women.Impact of the Exhibition
The exhibition "Saus und Braus" in 1980, organized by Bice Curiger, had a significant influence on the cultural landscape of the time. It showcased a new self-image fueled by urban pop culture experiences, punk, and new wave music. The exhibition, along with a "monster concert" and publication, shaped the cultural awakening of the 80s movement, leaving a lasting impact on the art scene.Publication and Catalogue
A detailed catalogue titled "Ausbruch & Rausch" published by Edition Patrick Frey accompanies the exhibition, featuring interview transcripts, essays, and comprehensive documentation. Additionally, a reprint of the original "Saus und Braus" catalogue will be released by Strauhof, providing further insights into the cultural movement of the time.
