We meander. We find mushrooms in the undergrowth, stones and snake sticks. We climb over fences, cross brooks and gaze into the water. We arrive at the Chastenloch, this mystical meeting point of trails, and we drink cider. Then we go our separate ways, taking the explorations and findings of the day to the next stage (…) From: Moving Palatti by Ursula Badrutt The artist network Palatti proudly presents a new publication - a follow-up project to the 2013 residency at the Birli. From May-October Palatti was working in East Switzerland at the house of Dr. René und Renia Schlesinger Foundation in Wald, Appenzell in the framework of the 500 years anniversary festivities and the culture project Ledi - The Traveling Stage. The artists took the experience and their individual project as starting points for the artist booklets that have been developed for this publication. Edition: 720. Design, Editors: Aurelio Kopainig, Betty Ras Published by Moving Multiples, Amsterdam & Palatti, 2015. ISBN/EAN 9789078020004 With the support of: Ledi - The Traveling Stage of AR?AI 500, Stiftung Kunstfonds, Innerrhoder Kunststiftung, Hof Weissbad, GOBA AG

Photo: Cat Tuong Nguyen KUNSTBULLETIN 09.2013 The ‘Birli' project is being organised by Aurelio Kopainig, who lives in Berlin, but grew up in Gais, and who has invited the artists there. The current occasion is the ‘AR-AI 500' anniversary. This year the cantons Appenzell Innerrhoden and Appenzell Ausserrhoden celebrate 500 years as part of the Swiss federation. In this setting the culture project ‘Ledi - the Travelling Theatre' is taking place. It is a stage built by the architect Ueli Frischknecht, which contains a Sefar bar and a kiosk and offers an abundance of events. Ledi has been on tour since May, and is stopping in Herisau, Appenzell, Urnäsch, Gais, Teufen and Oberegg. The nomadic artists' collective Palatti is presenting a chamber of wonder, the ‘Palatti-Schopf'. This informal network of fine artists who work in different media, research and collect things locally and produce site specific exhibitions. Earlier projects took place in China, Argentina and Kosovo. For this planned performance, other artists are realising their own projects, for example the installation artist Julia Mensch, who has already been engaged with Appenzell traditions for a few years. This time she is inviting Appenzell ladies on to the travelling stage for coffee and cake in order to reflect on Appenzell women's right to vote, and think about possibilities for change. She interviews people, collects stories, visits places and makes notes of her experiences. This is how the form of her art work which closes the project is being developed. On visiting picturesque Birli in sweltering summer heat, one is welcomed warmly. The vegetable patch which Aurelio Kopainig has started fits in with his long-standing preoccupation with growing processes, changes in handling commercial crops in the new bio-technological age. This place is also a return to the time of his childhood. He is consciously using the agricultural surroundings and isolation in order to spend more time on daily life-sustaining things and, quite often, to take a break from the Internet. Behind the house, two pink piglets (Vleckie and Speckie!) are still happily jumping around. Paul Steenberghe will auction them off four times within this rural situation. The eight new owners have to at any one time find a solution for what to do with the pigs. Through this the artists are trying get into a dialogue with their neighbours on different levels. From these people they also get their milk and eggs for everyday use, and they receive valuable ideas for their current work. The reaction to the artists has been consistently positive, the local population is very interested and friendly. The remote location makes it a bit more difficult to get certain materials, remarks the installation artist Mako Ishizuka. She lives in Paris and goes for long walks through her Appenzell surroundings, trying to find local specialities and similarities to her own background. Also the photographer Betty Ras is often outside, collecting stones and minerals for objects. Meanwhile she bakes bread for everyone, and everyone bakes with her. Country life stimulates new routines, which also Julia Mensch, who for the first time is living in the countryside, experiences positively. Nicolas Novali, who decorates eggs with drawings, and afterwards allows them to hatch underneath a warming lamp in the attic, is astonished by the hilly landscape, which is very different to the Argentinian pampas. Mirya Gerardu, who wants to include objects from Schlesinger's folk art collection in her work, and who is co-curating the Schopf exhibition, draws attention to the different art audience in Birli. These are not art people who one usually meets at art events, and as such there are other topics being discussed. The artists meet daily for shared meals, (left-overs are for Vleckie und Speckie). Unlike in former projects, they all live in the same house, which by itself leads to an intensive exchange. The Palatti group organises lectures and every once in a while an open house event, which encourages encounters with other artists and guests. Additionally they have visited cultural institutions such as the Zeughaus Teufen, the Grubenmann Museum, the Sitterwerk, and also an Appenzell cheese maker's.
