  • Reichenbach and Beyond - the Final Problem Revisited
    1 A new conference organised by The Reichenbach Irregulars of Switzerland in September 2017 Reichenbach and Beyond - The Final Problem revisited Das Hotel Panorama, Hasliberg-Reuti / Meiringen, Switzerland Thursday, 31st August 2017 to Sunday, 3rd September 2017 Following the successful conference Alpine Adventures – Arthur Conan Doyle and Switzerland, held at the Schatzalp, Davos, in September 20141, The Reichenbach Irregulars of Switzerland venture to take a fresh look at one of the most iconic Holmes adventures: The Final Problem. And where else could this take place than in the heart of the Berner Oberland, where the epic struggle between Holmes and Moriarty took place more than 125 years ago. The new conference Reichenbach and Beyond – The Final Problem revisited will take place in Hasliberg- Reuti / Meiringen from Thursday, 31st August to Sunday, 3rd September 2017. It will feature excursions into the dramatic landscape of the Berner Oberland, sights rarely explored by Sherlockians when they visit Meiringen and the Reichenbach Falls. What’s more, the conference will present insightful lectures to examine new evidence and re-visit long-accepted theories around the incident on that fateful 4th May 1891. The Final Problem revisited The starting point of this gathering is that for Sherlock Holmes the Reichenbach Falls is not a synonym for the end of his career, as he first predicted when he encountered the “somewhat sinister figure of the late Professor Moriarty standing upon the narrow pathway which led to safety.” Holmes reached safety and it was the Professor who fell that long way down into the abyss. The Great Hiatus marked a watershed in the career of Sherlock Holmes.

  • Edward Hopper» Und «Stilles Sehen – Bilder Der Ruhe » Bis 26
    Medienmitteilung, 30. April 2020 Fondation Beyeler ab Montag, 11. Mai 2020 wieder geöffnet Ausstellungen «Edward Hopper» und «Stilles Sehen – Bilder der Ruhe » bis 26. Juli verlängert, «Goya» verschoben Die Fondation Beyeler wird ab Montag, den 11. Mai wieder täglich offen sein. Zu sehen ist die Ausstellung über den grossen amerikanischen Künstler Edward Hopper sowie die Sammlungspräsentation «Stilles Sehen – Bilder der Ruhe». Beide Ausstellungen haben in der Corona- Krise unerwartet und dramatische Aktualität bekommen. Sie werden aufgrund des Besucherinteresses bis zum 26. Juli 2020 verlängert. Tickets können ab Donnerstag 7. Mai online unter www.fondationbeyeler.ch gebucht werden. Die Fondation Beyeler hat für Besuchende und Mitarbeitende ein umfassendes Schutzkonzept erarbeitet, um die Massnahmen der Covid-19- Verordnung des Bundes optimal umzusetzen. Dazu gehören die Beschränkung der Besucherzahl durch Onlinetickets mit Zeitslots ebenso wie eine neue Besucherführung im Park und im Museum mit räumlich getrenntem Ein- und Ausgang. Alle Veranstaltungen sind bis auf Weiteres abgesagt, Führungen finden in reduzierter Form ausserhalb der Öffnungszeiten statt. Die grosse Goya Ausstellung, deren Eröffnung am 15. Mai geplant war, wird verschoben. Ein neues Datum wird im Juni kommuniziert. Edward Hopper als «Maler der Stunde» in der Corona-Krise Über 100‘000 begeisterte Besucherinnen und Besucher sahen in den sieben Wochen vor der temporären Museumsschliessung aufgrund der Corona-Krise die Ausstellung «Edward Hopper». In dieser kurzen Zeit war «Edward Hopper» auf dem besten Weg zum Publikumsliebling. Der Katalog war ausverkauft und musste bereits nachgedruckt werden. Seither haben sich im Museum und in den sozialen Medien viele Menschen eine Wiedereröffnung und eine Verlängerung der Ausstellung gewünscht. Der Kooperationspartner, das Whitney Museum of American Art in New York und die anderen amerikanischen Leihgeber haben eingewilligt.
