Nici Jost: Land of Peach Blossom

Former artist-in-residence Nici Jost from Switzerland is presenting works created during her stay at the Swatch Art Peace Hotel in the solo exhibition '桃花源 Land of Peach Blossom'.

In her exhibition “桃花源 Land of Peach Blossom” the artist has focused on the role of the colour pink in China. During her six-month residency in 2018 at the Swatch Art Peace Hotel in Shanghai, Nici Jost had the opportunity to discover how pink is perceived in the Chinese culture.

The focus on the colour pink in China has proven enormously productive. As a way to orient oneself in an overwhelming flood of impressions, but surprisingly also as a tool that allows deeper insights into the social and cultural complexity of China. The exhibition is a multimedia installation presented like a Chinese market with photographs, videos, audio and actual everyday objects the artist brought back from China.

Venue: Kunstraum Baden, Haselstrasse 15, 5400 Baden (Switzerland)

Opening hours (free admission): Wed to Fri 2-5 pm, Sat & Sun 12-5 pm
