Finissage: Rochus Lussi «between here and there»

Description

Rochus Lussi has been known for decades as an artist, exhibition maker, art mediator, and performer. Galleries, exhibition houses, and churches in Switzerland and abroad display his works. But also during studio residencies in Berlin and New York or at the Swiss embassies in Berlin and Havana, he appeared as an artist, and time and again Rochus Lussi wins competitions for art and construction. In all these projects, he succeeds in opening up very different spaces and attracting a new audience for art. Risk and urgency, courage for beauty as well as ugliness, the creation of relationships between the works and the audience are just some of the characteristics that define the artist Rochus Lussi. The rooms of Galerie Stans are perfectly suited for Lussi's diverse work. New work groups
The exhibition «between here and there» shows the latest work groups of the sculptor. Various animal beings populate Rochus Lussi's «Belle Île». These are animals by the wayside that he encounters on his tours. Lussi combines them with shells and supports that provide humans with stability and recovery. «Belle Île» is an endless project on which the artist has been working since 2022. The «Vessels» are a work group that he has been continuously expanding since 2025. They contain surprising contents and stand or hang indoors or in the garden of Galerie Stans. Technically, Lussi is a master of fine work with the chainsaw. He stains the wood with dye, but he also draws on the daily sheets in A3 format, which form a red thread in the exhibition in Stans. Finally, the latest works, «Word Rods» titled «Talking is Gold», refer to the indispensability of debating and active listening, as practiced by the indigenous peoples of North America with talking sticks. In a handy format, Lussi's «Word Rods» also form the affordable «Edition 11» of Galerie am Dorfplatz 11.
