From 11 to 23 September 2010, the hitherto most comprehensive work display by Stephan Schmidlin in the former freight railroad station in Zurich makes it possible to experience art at close range.
Under the title of “Fascination with human being”, 100 naturalist sculptures inspire critical reflection. Carl F. Bucherer is supporting Stephan Schmidlin, who, thanks to his passionate determination, not only as a wood sculptor, but also as a comedian and gymnast was enjoying a huge success during the last years, as well as his exhibition.
The “star” of the exhibition will however be a 5-meter high group of people entitled “No Time”. Six grown-ups are either telephoning, reading the newspaper, playing golf or are busy doing something else. In the middle of the sculpture stands a small sad boy, who is totally ignored by the group. None of the adults can find the time to look after the child.
The former freight railroad station in Zurich will provide the appropriately urbane and mysterious background for the “Fascination with human being” exhibition, which will not only display the art, but also turn it into an experience.
