Nilbar Güreş (b. 1977 in TR) works in a diverse range of media, including painting, photography, film, performance, collage and drawing. She consistently interrogates conventional gender roles and alludes to ways of empowering feminine and queer identities. Imbued with a playful irony, her artistic practice is based on subtle moments of resistance, quietly radical in their enactment on the margins of everyday life. The exhibition focuses on the last six years of Güreş’ career.

The Kunstgesellschaft of the Canton of Berne BKG offers the Louise Aeschlimann and Margareta Corti Grant every year. It is the largest private scholarship for visual artists and is linked to an exhibition that is shown in rotation in four institutions, including the Kunsthaus Pasquart. Participation is open to artists under the age of forty who reside or come from the Canton of Berne. In addition to this year's selection, the works of 2020 will also be shown in a film portrait.

The Diploma festival of the Master in Contemporary Arts Practice of the Bern University of the Arts brings together works by a young generation of ambitious artists keen to experiment. The artistic approach of the graduates is manifested in different media such as performance, video, installation, painting, literature or music and focuses on current issues.

Emilija Škarnulytė (*1987, LT) explores the psychological power that our environment exerts on us. Her videos and immersive multimedia installations, which interweave fiction with documentary films, reflect on the invisible relationships between the physical world and our social imagination - from the perception of geological time and its influence on our relationship to history to the way violent conflicts inscribe themselves on the structure of the earth.

The Biel-based duo RITZWIRTH, consisting of architect Katia Ritz (*1973, CH) and designer Florian Hauswirth (*1976, CH), has been creating installation works since 2009. The focus is on intervention in the environment, which the two surprisingly disfigure through their detached approach. In their first large solo exhibition, they present past projects as well as a new monumental installation that reinterprets the functions of the Kunsthaus building.

In Emma Talbot's (*1969, GB) multimedia work, drawing is always the starting point for her exploration of issues of our time, from the environment to gender to the way we communicate. Her luminous drawings, painted on silk, often combine words and images to express the lyricism and pain of subjectivity. The exhibition includes new work that weaves together the aftermath of our systemic collapse and interpretations of wild landscapes.

Vanessa Billy's (b. 1978, CH) sculptural practice explores ecological aspects, energy cycles, dystopian visions and transformative alchemical processes. Using a wide range of both organic and synthetic materials and waste products, including silicone, bio-resin, water, waste oil, metals, glass and plastics, she draws parallels between physical and mental constructs in the context of our relationship with the environment.
