Jean-Luc Mylayne - The Autumn of Paradise

-
The exhibition gives insight into the work of the extraordinary international artist Jean-Luc Mylayne (b. 1946). At first glance, his photographs appear like casually taken everyday images. Ever since his first picture in 1976, his oeuvre revolves exclusively around the encounter with birds. The bird is the protagonist of his constructed scenes but also a conceptual partner on an equal footing.

Stefan Gritsch - Bones n` Roses

-
The work of Stefan Gritsch (b. 1951) is, in the broadest sense, grounded in painting: he takes its conditions and expands them in many different directions. After various institutional presentations in Switzerland and abroad, the Aargauer Kunsthaus is devoting a comprehensive solo exhibition to the Lenzburg-based artist in his home canton of Aargau.
