GALLERY GUGGING:
Exhibition: Noah’s Ark
April 7 – June 6, 2021
The gallery gugging celebrates three drawers with Basel Al-Bazzaz, Helmut Hladisch & Jürgen Tauscher, who implement their drawing talent in completely different ways, and so in the exhibition Noah’s Ark – three worlds open up that are as unique and wonderful as their creators themselves.
Girl with thick hair, Basel Al-Bazzaz (2020). Pencil, coloured pencils, 42 x 56 cm.
Courtesy gallery gugging; price: €2.000
The title of the exhibition is borrowed from the work of the same name by Jürgen Tauscher. The presentation of exceptional drawers such as Johann Hauser, Oswald Tschirtner and August Walla has a long tradition with us, and we are very pleased to be able to continue this tradition with this exhibition.
In this short video, curator Nina Katschnig & exhibition manager Irina Katnik give you an interesting preview of the Noah’s Ark exhibition, which opened on April 7, 2021.

PASC Detroit:
New US Progressive Art Studio
The Progressive Art Studio Collective (PASC) launched this January in Detroit, and is the first progressive art studio or disability centered art studio in the city of Detroit.
PASC uses a “progressive art studio” model, used by many disability programs across the United States, putting participants in control by encouraging them to guide their own experiences and education in the arts. Participants are supported by a staff of professional artists, and provided professional art materials to create artwork.
Artwork by STEP artist Stanley Brown
They have launched three in-person studios and a virtual art studio program to support participants. Learn more at stepcentral.org/pasc.
OBITUARY:
Marc Moret (1943–2021)
Marc Moret was born in the village of Vuadens, Switzerland. From 1983 onwards he painted floral motifs, characters with somewhat deformed faces and abstract figures.
In the 1990s, he devoted himself to high reliefs, made with shards and broken glass, wires, guts and bones of burnt animals, strands of recovered hair, metal fragments.

In some of his compositions, he integrated objects that belonged to members of his family, in particular haberdashery from his late mother (zips, buttons, pins and safety pins, knitting needles, lace) or his grandfathers (metal bedposts), which he considered commemorative pieces.

A group exhibition in Tokyo (at 3331 Arts Chiyoda) will present two sculptures in July – September 2021. Three Swiss museums preserve his works: the Collection de l'Art Brut in Lausanne; the Musée d'Art et d'Histoire de Fribourg and the Musée Gruérien in Bulle.
