Swiss artist Reto Boller was invited to take part in one of three long-term process-based art projects as part of the two-year overall renovation of the Langmatt.

Reto Boller (*1966 in Zurich, lives there) is one of the most inventive Swiss artists. He probes the boundaries between painting, architecture and object and goes beyond traditional expectations. His work has attracted international attention for many years. Since 2007, Reto Boller has held a professorship for painting at the State Academy of Fine Arts in Stuttgart.

As part of the overall renovation of Langmatt, Reto Boller – alongside the artist duo Bigler/Weibel and cartoonist Silvan Wegmann – was invited to participate in one of three process-based long-term art projects. Three different perspectives and artistic media accompany and document the structural changes during the approximately two-year overall renovation. During this time, snapshots will repeatedly be visible on the website and in the museum's newsletters as well as on social media. The projects will culminate in three cabinet exhibitions for the reopening of the Langmatt in spring/summer 2026.

Reto Boller's multifaceted spatial and material explorations are a perfect match for the Langmatt's renovation process. During this time, the listed building offered rare opportunities for the artist's distinct sensorium in dealing with space and material. Reto Boller followed the conversion process during the closure period and was on site again and again to collect impressions and images. Another part of the artistic interventions will be on display in a cabinet exhibition for the reopening of the Langmatt in May 2026.
