Around "die vielen welten" appear sculptural counterpoints, graphic associations, painterly artefacts, filmed counter-worlds, which in their entirety create a reflection of the uniquely meandering collection and its exhibition history: A kaleidoscope in which interpretations, hierarchies and strategies break in favour of immediate and transgressive aesthetic experience.
At the same time, the tour through the art collection is a sublime homage to the patron Heinrich Gebert (1917-2007), without whose multifaceted commitment neither the Kunstmuseum nor the Kunsthalle would have found their place, let alone be able to operate - and whose credo that art, music, literature and philosophy are not just orchids but necessary foodstuffs that must be passed on is present and effective in the everyday life of the Heinrich Gebert Kulturstiftung Appenzell.
