Vernissage exhibition “spychere!”

Over the next three years, the Chüechlihus Regional Museum will be collecting knowledge from here – together with the local population. The project focuses on knowledge that is rarely found in books, but lives on in people’s heads and family stories.

The exhibition provides insights into very different “knowledge” and thus opens up new perspectives. With the opening and vernissage on March 31, 2026, we are also celebrating the start of the next step in the “spychere!” project and launching the collection among the general public.

More information about the program will follow – we are already looking forward to your visit!

ERLBENISLESUNG
with Anina Schärer

Join us for a participatory reading in the rooms of the museum! Together we let the fiction spill over into real space. Graphics and texts, song notations and signs from the book“Im ausgeschriebenen Haus” by Anina Mirjam Schärer find correspondences in the museum objects and the exhibition scenarios.

The “meticulously arranged graphics and texts” in the book are a “polyphonic view of things”. They are twisted and turned, sometimes turned upside down, placed in other contexts, picked apart, torn apart, shredded, amputated, deformed, enlarged, reduced in size, messed up, nested and – there is also this – meaningfully reassembled.” (From:“Nothing is as it seems” by Petra Brixel on literaturkritik.de) We playfully explore the agency of objects and listen to how fictional books describe them.

At the end of the evening, in the form of an aperitif, we raid the pantry (mentioned in the book). (In German)

Admission incl. 1 copy of the book & aperitif: CHF 40.- / solidarity price: CHF 30.-
Register by 15.2.2024 at: info@regionalmuseum-langnau.ch

“Im ausgeschriebenen Haus” is published by edition taberna kritika.
