Engelberg in central Switzerland is best known as an Eldorado for adventurers and outdoor enthusiasts. But this summer, the 900-year-old monastery village is revealing new facets by opening its doors to an international exhibition of contemporary art: Backstage Engelberg.
Paintings, photographs, objects, sculptures, drawings, installations, sound pieces, and videos—53 artists from 17 countries show their work at 21 locations in Engelberg. Their artworks powerfully reflect on our world today. They address highly topical issues such as climate change, sustainability, and explosive socio-political developments, sparking conversations and connections to our shared reality. Many of these thought-provoking pieces were conceived especially for the exhibition.
