Stäfner Sur­re­al­ism (27.03.–27.04.2025)
Open­ing: 26.03.2025, 7 p.m.
As school­child­ren in tran­quil Stäfa on Lake Zurich at the end of the 1970s, Alex Macart­ney and Chris­t­ian Pfluger asserted a “Stäfner Sur­re­al­ism” with col­lages and zines. Macart­ney later became a comic artist and Pfluger cre­ated a musi­cal-artis­tic-lit­er­ary uni­verse as the Welt­traum­forscher, to which the Kun­sthaus Lan­gen­thal ded­i­cated a ret­ro­spec­tive in 2013. Now his early work can be discovered.
