Human Rights and freedom on the internet

The IG Halle im Kunst(Zeug)Haus in Rapperswil currently hosts the exhibibition «Frei». This september a sepcial event took place with RFK Human Rights Switzerland and Hernani Marques of the Chaos Computer Club Schweiz discussing the freedom on the internet.

The conversation addressed the situation of human rights - not far away but in our society in Switzerland, in Europe. Questions that were discussed were: What is the state of freedom here? And what does freedom mean in the digital space?

«Frei» is the conclusion of the exhibition trilogy «weit - wild - frei» which began in 2020. While Marlis Spielmann addresses the freedom of women in society with large-format, extremely delicate silhouettes, Erwin Schatzmann creates a colorful and boundless image of life in his object-picture compositions. Susanne Lyner not only frees color from its carrier, but also goes to the limit of formlessness. The changeability of forms under different perspectives occupies Sandra Capaul in her objects and installations. The medium of photography is represented by Patrik Fuchs, who collects objects and their human stories in several serial works.
