Beat Breitenstein - Sculptures and Reliefs From the 2nd of May until the 30th of August For the summer exhibition, the Castle innovates and celebrates wood with 90 sculptures and reliefs made by Beat Breitenstein, a personality of the today’s Suisse art. On the esplanade, similar to Land Art, the sculptures have emerged from the trunk of ancestral oaks. Natural pillars or marks in the landscape, they trace their correspondence to the nearby forests. The vaulted room with its architectural resonance has inspired an installation on the walls and the floor. We can discover here recent compositions like the reliefs and works with glass. In the arsenal (room 1b), a selection of works illustrate patterns explored over these last five years: bonds, rings, layers. Beat Breitenstein was born in 1954 in Sissach (Basel). It is during his childhood and with his farther who was a cabinet maker that he develops his affinity with wood. From his first carrier as fashion designer that he has carried out with passion in Norway and Switzerland, he has kept an innate sense for elegance and shape. Since 1994, he is an independent sculptor, working in Switzerland and abroad. His creativity is very rich, from imposing works in the open to the varied expressions of medium to small scale sculptures. Beat Breitenstein lives and works in Ins (Anet) in the Bernese Seeland region, where he has set up an outdoor workshop in the woods. The works on display can also be purchased, please ask the staff at the Castle’s front desk as well as for any information. Website Beat Breitenstein
