Exhibition: Our Work at VSBS
Overview
Intro
"Art in Craftsmanship"—Reflections by the Professional Association of Sculptors and Stonemasons of the Swiss Association of Sculptors and Stonemasons (VSBS) showcase their diverse body of work
Traditional Crafts in Unterseen
Every summer, members of the Association of Swiss Sculptors and Stonemasons (VSBS) gather to exchange professional insights. This year, the meeting will take place at the Bödeli. The organizers—Gabriele Stähli, president of the VSBS Aare Regional Association, and her fellow board members—have come up with something special for the occasion. Through an exhibition at the Unterseen Art Collection, they are showcasing the diverse craftsmanship and artistic work of the “stone artisans.” Works by twenty-three colleagues will be on display: restoration projects on public buildings, monuments, and fountains, as well as sculptures and gravestones and memorials. This demonstrates that sculptors work not only in stone but also in materials such as bronze, wood, steel, and glass. They are true specialists in 3D design and are constantly exploring new avenues through the combination of materials.
Be inspired and visit the Unterseen Art Collection. Be captivated by the richness of contemporary stone art and the technical diversity of the works.
The opening reception for the exhibition “Our Work” will take place on August 29, 2026, at 5:00 p.m.; the exhibition runs through September 13.
Hours:
Friday and Saturday, 3:00–8:00 p.m.; Sunday, 11:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m.
Unterseen Art Collection, Stadthaus, Untere Gasse 2, 3800 Unterseen
At the same time, a second exhibition featuring large-format works by retired sculptors from the RV Aare VSBS will take place in the garden of the Mattenhof Resort, Hauptstrasse 36, in Matten.
The sculptures are open to the public and will remain on display there indefinitely.
