Book Launch - Vom Baden Lernen  

As part of the course “Film and Geography”, which was attended by students from the Institute of Geography and the MA Transdisciplinarity (ZHdK), numerous film installations were created in Baden/Argau, which became part of the exhibition „Vom Baden lernen”. These will now be shown in a book together with the other exhibition contributions and texts.

Book Launch

Date and time: Saturday, May 25, 6-8 p.m.

Address: Bad zum Raben, Kurplatz 3b, 5400 Baden, Aargau

With the editors and a reading by the philosopher and leisure researcher Jochen Gimmel. Including aperó and possibility of bathing in the thermal water.
As part of the exhibition REALLABOR # 3: THERMAL-NORMAL – Im Rhytmus des Gewöhnlichen, you are invited to a free concert by Mara Miccichè aka IOKOI starting at 8 pm.

 

The 244-page book “Vom Baden lernen” (de/en) is a curious examination of historical, present and future bathing practices. Taking the most recent processes of change in Baden and Ennetbaden as an example, it brings together numerous ideas, artistic works and further discussions on the future of bathing, which were shown to the public during 2021-2023 and are brought together in this publication.

The publication, designed by Lea Huser and published by Distanz Verlag, brings together student works as well as artistic works by Alfredo Jaar, Bianca Kennedy, Fabian Knecht, the Arpha collective, Susanne Lorenz, Sabian Baumann and Corinn Gerber, among others, as well as a photo series created especially for the book by Georg Aerni, who captured the traces of all the thermal springs in the urban space of Baden and Ennetbaden. With an introduction by Isabelle Meiffert and Mirko Winkel and an essay by Jochen Gimmel.
