Bad Ragartz 2024 opens on May the 4th

Every three years the town of Ragaz, Switzerland hosts the largest skulpture exhibit in Europe. I spent a lot of time during April 2024 watching the exhibits being installed. Here’s a video collage with my impressions.

In the park, in town and by the lake, more and more art installations were placed during the month of fools. It became harder and harder to stay away from this place, and I look forward to spending even more time surrounded by countless incredible works from an international assortment of artists.

This will be the 9th installment of this tri-annual exhibition, which draws thousands of art lovers from all corners of the solar system. The show will remain open until the fall of this year.

I cannot even describe how it feels to be buffeted by this tsunami of creativity. How will these skulpures look and feel in the rain, the sun and the wind? Which themes will connect different creations in my mind? How will my impressions change over the summer?

I’m grateful for all these opportunities to visualize the sounds of local musicians, the smells and sounds of this mountain region.

Come see this!
