The house “Taurus” on Chilegass 11 and 13 in Beromünster, Lucerne has been used by marytwo as a guest house for artists and curators since summer 2022. This interim use will last until summer 2023, then the listed building will be carefully restored and made habitable again. By hosting our national and international guests, we have spent a lot of time in the area and find “Taurus” to be a patchwork of different times, located on the Flecken, the historic village centre of Beromünster. The works in this group exhibition deal with the house from near and far, without taking away its mystique.

Also A Complicated Burrow (Chilegass 13), 2023
Window glass and wasps’ nests from the attic, stones from the garden, a coin that the neighbour Ruth must have taken home from one of her trips and forgot in the linen bag that still hangs on a beam, a tree nut that was lying out to dry in the mezzanine, metal, plastic, fleece
