All about art and the Heart of Switzerland.
And like Lucerne, the concept is to
welcome the world in connection with our
location, our mindset.

Konzeptkunst Atelier

One of our goals is focused in particular in the context of our immediate environment and our culture. We encourage works that emphasize the broadening of perception of our society and our understanding in general.

Pius Müller

The patron behind this Concept is a well-traveled, multilingual world loving individual that has watched and observed cultures and art expressions on all continents. He has tried to accept the facets of the world, tasted the spices of the world and is always in search of new perceptions, mind-boggling discoveries.

Projects
We encourage works that emphasize the broadening of perception of our society and our understanding in general.

Be it the “Stadtschreiber” holding up a mirror, a composition of sounds, creating in us mental pictures, or the expression of powerful feelings through painting, sculpture and any other form of artistic expression.

Current Project
Lion on the Cross – Sculpture Exhibition
Artist: Ivan Klapez

We are thrilled to announce that Ivan Klapez is the next artist to develop an exhibition within the ART1a Konzeptkunst Atelier!
Ivan Klapez (b. 1961, Sinj, Croatia) is a London-based figurative sculptor known for exploring the expressive power of materials and the architecture of form. His work reflects the human will to exist and create—capturing both struggle and dignity through figures, metaphors, and monumental structures.
