"Draw a map to get lost" wrote the conceptual artist Yoko Ono in one of her instructions. An apparent contradiction, as maps are there to help us find our way around the world. We trust that they depict realities, take us by the hand and provide orientation. Lose yourself in them? Not intended. If we do get lost on Google Maps or are no longer even visible as blue dots due to a lack of reception, nervousness sets in. No orientation without positioning. Or maybe there is? What if positioning is not so much about a specific place, but a feeling?
In the exhibition LANDSICHTSSACHE, the Musée Visionnaire would like to show various artists and projects whose works deal with our view of the world, with the claim to truth of maps and what they are unable to depict even in their greatest accuracy. They all question how we perceive the world in its form, how we position ourselves in it and how our existence and actions change not only our view of the map, but also the map itself.
The Musée Visionnaire also invites you to take part in the "hand-drawn maps of Switzerland" project. Inspired by the artist Shilpa Gupta, we would like to depict Switzerland as it emerges from the feelings of the people living here.
