ART AT KLAUSEN
This fall, the artists' town of Klausen presents three unique exhibitions that show the interplay between art and craft, the celebration of a long career as an artist and the creative use of regional materials. Each exhibition invites you to experience and enjoy art from different perspectives.


ART THAT WALKS
When craft and art walk together

It all began with a flash of inspiration, a brilliant idea that brought light into the dark times of Covid. Arnold Delmonego, together with his daughter Nora, who is the fifth generation to run the family business in Klausen, wanted to build bridges.
The two master craftsmen, in whose workshop the shoes are still made by hand, suggested that artists and creative minds paint the shoes they had created. A challenge that was met with enthusiasm.
For the artists, it was an incentive to get involved, to break new ground, based on the premise of artistically designing an unusual medium in order to achieve surprising results. Craft and art go hand in hand in this exhibition, with the shoes also being flanked by various works by the artists.


LOTHAR DELLAGO
70 years of sculpture

The ‘Art in the Old Town’ project, which brings the works of well-known artists into the old town of Klausen, is growing steadily and will be displayed in 29 shop windows in the upper and lower town this autumn. The exhibition is a tribute to the sculptor Lothar Dellago and his 70 years of creative work.
Dellago's sculptures - imbued with music - are dancers who sway their bodies to inaudible sounds and express an irrepressible joy in life, movement and mutual encounters. The players, on the other hand, appear almost static, portraying well-known figures from the world of music. Art arises from the imagination, but

Dellago's work is above all mental labour: ‘I try to get to the heart of the matter with just a few strokes.’ His art is the condensation of the line on a smooth surface, the reduction of the narrative to the essentials: the essence of the line.
