Paul Boesch Stiftung Postfach 634 CH-3018 Bern [email protected] paulboesch.ch 1 / 1 Press release Vaclav Pozarek is Awarded the Paul Boesch Prize 2017 The Paul Boesch Foundation awards the eponymous prize endowed with CHF 50 000 to Vaclav Pozarek, thus honoring the conceptually and medially diverse oeuvre of the Bern-based artist. Vaclav Pozarek has presented his works since the 1980s in numer- ous museums and institutions and enjoys international recognition. His art has been extensively presented in solo shows in Berlin, Bratislava, Zurich, Basel, Winterthur, Aarau, Chur, and Bern. Significant stations of the artist include the retrospective at the Kunstmuseum Winterthur in 2004 and the presentation of the work in progress Library Of Sculpture at the Bündner Kunstmuseum Chur. His most recent show was in 2015 at the Kunstmuseum Solothurn, where Pozarek arranged older and newer works to a spatial Gesamtkunstwerk. The award ceremony of the Paul Boesch Prize will take place on March 23, 2017, at the Kunsthalle Bern. Vaclav Pozarek was born in C�eské Budeˇjovice (CS) in 1940. From 1965 to 1966 he studied at the Prague Film Academy and in 1968 moved to Switzerland. From 1969 to 1971 he studied at the Hochschule für Bildende Künste in Hamburg and in 1973 at the St. Martin’s School of Art in London under Anthony Caro. His oeuvre includes sculptures, photographs, drawings, collages, and architectural interventions. All media are part of his artistic strategy that starts with the spatial situation and creates a system of conceptual references: literature, cultural history, and everyday life are interwoven in Pozarek’s exhibition architectures to form complex spaces of knowledge and thought. The Paul Boesch Stiftung was founded in 2014 and bears the name of the Swiss painter and graphic artist (1889 – 1969). In commemoration of her father and his influential art, Liselotte Boesch initiated the foundation in 2011. The non-commercial institution awards one artist each year for his or her outstanding work. In addition, four Advance- ment Awards, each endowed with CHF 5 000, are granted to the Schule für Gestal tung Bern + Biel (SFGBB). The members of the foundation’s Board of Trustees are: Rolf Grädel, President Robert Wenger, Zunftgesellschaft zu Metzgern Stefan Gelzer, Schule für Gestaltung Bern + Biel Valérie Knoll, Kunsthalle Bern Claudia Engler, Burgergemeinde Bern Matthias Frehner, Kunstmuseum Bern Nina Zimmer, Kunstmuseum Bern / Zentrum Paul Klee.

Media Release 2020 Manor Art Award Aarau
Media Release Aarau, April 2019 Denise Bertschi 2020 Manor Art Award Aarau Denise Bertschi (b. 1983 in Aarau) is the recipient of the 2020 Manor Art Award Aarau which is presented every two years to promote young Swiss art. The award comes with a solo exhibition at the Aargauer Kunsthaus, which opens on Friday, 24 January 2020. In her artistic practice, Denise Bertschi uses events of recent history to critically question Switzerland’s relationship to the rest of the world. She addresses, for example, Switzerland’s colonial involvement or reflects on the concept of neutrality, which forms both the internal and external perception of Switzerland, yet also raises many questions. For her research, Bertschi repeatedly visits the regions she examines in her works. She drove into the de-militarised zone between North and South Korea where Swiss military observers have been stationed for years; she spent time in Brazil where, in the northeast of the country, one of the largest coffee plantations of the nineteenth century had been run by Swiss. Recently, the artist was in South Africa where she looked into Switzerland’s relations to the apartheid state. Denise Bertschi talks to the local people, to people who witnessed the period, to decision makers and/or their descendants. She documents the places she visits, the nature and architecture, in photographs and video footage. She is just as much interested in visual details, in the beautiful, the striking and the bizarre. Prior to and during her travels, Bertschi visits archives, reads, collects and records correspondences, images, newspaper clippings, etc.. In the process, the accessibility of the archives and the archive work itself also become subjects.

Basel, Friday, 13.8.2021 PRESS RELEASE
1/ 2 Basel, Friday, 13.8.2021 PRESS RELEASE Kantonsspital Aarau: Groundbreaking ceremony for hospital new-build The groundbreaking ceremony for the new building of Aarau Cantonal Hospital took place yesterday, Thursday, 12 August 2021. With that, everything is in place for construction to go ahead. The “Dreiklang” project was developed by an architectural partnership of Burckhardt+Partner and wörner traxler richter and emerged as the winner of a two-stage overall- performance competition. In their planning design, Burckhardt+Partner and wörner traxler richter ideally implemented the client’s specification of uniting 23 buildings in a single central replacement building: The new building is divided into three areas of use – outpatient clinics, functional areas and wards (“Triad”) – and comprises a total of around 470 inpatient beds, 130 day-clinic places and 18 operating theaters. As the largest non-university hospital in Switzerland, Aarau Cantonal Hospital will now be in a position to guarantee modern health care. The new central building will provide Aarau Cantonal Hospital with a modern, future-oriented main building that unites all clinical areas under one roof in a coordinated manner. The architects’ solution provides for short distances for staff and patients, thus offering ideal conditions for harnessing synergies and streamlining operational processes: Inpatient and outpatient areas are systematically separated from one another by a central boulevard. This is the heart of the building and connects all areas with each other, helping patients, visitors and members of staff to find their way around the entire building. Open connecting stairways and atria further enhance the mesh of connections between the individual departments.
