Exhibition - Fluss(ab)Fluss

Water, change and transformation appear as guiding motifs in the exhibition Fluss(ab)Fluss, which is interpreted by established artists from Central Switzerland. Their works reflect movement and change as constant forces of life. At the same time, they thematize the element of water, which is omnipresent in the region: inspiring and life-giving, but also threatening. The works show cycles, interventions and breaks and make visible what often goes unnoticed: Transformations of water and the consequences of human control. The result is a multi-layered view of an element that makes life possible and at the same time remains fragile.

The exhibition is closely linked to the book The Unexpected, which will be published in 2026 and focuses on both the 2005 floods and a key infrastructure project: the six-kilometre-long flood relief tunnel between Sachseln and Alpnach. However, the publication not only presents facts, but also seeks a cultural and artistic approach to natural events through various contributions. In Fluss(ab) Fluss, artists who have worked intensively on the topic for the book present mostly new works - as a spatial and sensual translation of the book's content.

In the historical rooms of the museum and in the garden, Fluss(ab)Fluss presents works by Judith Albert, Donato Amstutz, Sandra Boeschenstein, Roman Britschgi, Jul Dillier and Arthur Fussy, Barbara Gut, Moritz Hossli, Christian Kathriner, Marie-Cathérine Lienert and Kurt Sigrist.
