Sammlungspräsentation: We Care!

Preserving the artistic heritage of the canton of Solothurn and promoting regional artistic creation is one of the core tasks of the cantonal Office for Culture and Sport (AKS), which it shares with the three major exhibition venues for art in the canton: the art museums of Olten and Solothurn and the Kunsthaus Grenchen. Together, they are dedicated to maintaining and communicating the region's visual arts and keeping cultural memory alive with their collections.

The four institutions have now joined forces to make their joint commitment visible in various exhibition projects and events under the title We Care! The aim is to celebrate the quality and diversity of artistic creation in the canton and to emphasize the bridging function of the museums for their location in a supra-regional context.

The contributions, which are very diverse in terms of content, concept and scope, open a window to view the collections together. The individual sub-projects are exemplary of the various ways in which the mediation, promotion and care of art in the canton can be addressed. However, they also point to a larger, extremely colorful cantonal art kaleidoscope, which owes its richness to the work of many other institutions, associations, foundations, private individuals and committees, which for their part have helped shape and continue to shape the respective collections. They are all included as participants and partners in the project title We Care! Because cultural "care work" is - as the "We" emphasizes - always teamwork.

The exhibitions and guided tours invite visitors to explore familiar and newly discovered works of art, social realities, design ideas and worlds of thought from different eras. As a look at the treasures from the four art collections makes clear, this is also a valuable generational work that needs to be further developed and nurtured.

The title We Care! describes the basic conditions for dealing with collections and cultural assets: care, expertise, commitment, curiosity and foresight. The exclamation mark emphasizes the passion with which the actors involved are at work and want to pass on their enthusiasm, because - last but not least - the title also implies the question "Do You Care Too?".

We Care! is an invitation to (re)discover many a "special guest" in the museum as part of the new collection presentation at the Kunstmuseum Solothurn under the aegis of Francisco Sierra!
