Rolf Sachs's Multidisciplinary Show in a St Moritz Stable

Rolf Sachs presents a multidisciplinary exhibition at Stalla Madulain gallery, housed in a renovated former stable on Lake St Moritz in Engadina, Switzerland. The show, open until March 17, 2024, features paintings, photographs, and elusive artifacts that reflect contemporary malaise with extreme languages. The gallery, opened in 2014 by cousins G. Appenzeller and C. Schmidlin, includes a permanent steel staircase by Not Vital. Sachs uses locally sourced, zero-kilometer materials tied to his youth in Engadina, such as a pink-painted motorbike balanced on a roof beam and an installation titled Mist, Wolle, Hey and Ross (2023) made from hay, manure, wool, cotton, and river mud. The exhibition also includes a large blue neon work, Ewiger Lauf (2016), and crumpled paper or canvas pieces (Défroissages) sealed with resin. Sachs's practice celebrates imperfection, transforming humble objects into poetic works, as seen in upside-down milk buckets forming perforated lamps.
