The Bernese artist Bernhard Luginbühl is not only the producer of his artworks but also their seller. As the curator of his exhibitions, Luginbühl recognizes the significance of event culture long before the term even exists. The lofty seriousness of art is interrupted in his works in favor of the joy of entertaining the audience: For children, he creates play sculptures with slides, while for adults, the rolling and noisy balls of his kinetic sculptures evoke a carnival atmosphere, and the crackling combustion actions captivate everyone. In his sculpture park in Mötschwil, where chaos battles with intentional excess, he showcases his staging talent. The self-promoter with his unembellished, robust style always maintains interpretive authority over his own creations through his publications. Jochen Hesse, the author of the catalog of the artist's sculptures, explains in this book why Luginbühl became popular and why his fame endures to this day. For the first time, the oeuvre and the artist's personality are critically examined in an independent publication.
