The Swiss artist is showing current works on paper in the cabinet of the Museum Franz Gertsch.
Esther Ernst is a draughtswoman. She is particularly interested in cartographic drawings and travel drawings as well as long-term projects and collections, such as her drawn diaries or her index card archive. However, she also creates thematic series of drawings. Other areas of activity include text, mural painting, video and art in architecture.
The Swiss artist is showing current works on paper in the Museum Franz Gertsch's cabinet, including a drawing with text from her scholarship in Istanbul in 2023 and a large-format cartographic drawing of the city of Frankfurt am Main. The artist explores such areas on foot and maps them "en plein air". She then weaves the collection of her sketches into large-format "story maps" in her studio, which leave room for fear, love, memories and enthusiasm. Another large-format drawing takes up the coronavirus pandemic years, with the artist exploring the devastating effects of the infectious disease worldwide. Since 2004, she has been archiving personal notes and photos of exhibitions, concerts, lectures, theater performances and the like in the exhibited collection of index cards "where I was".
Esther Ernst was born in Basel in 1977. From 1997 to 2006, she studied art and stage design at the Zurich and Basel Schools of Design, the Basel Theater, the Hamburg University of Fine Arts and the Berlin University of the Arts (as a master student). Her work is supported by regular prizes, work and travel grants, and her works are purchased for public and private collections. Since the 2000s, she has held regular exhibitions in Germany and abroad as well as lectures and teaching events. The artist lives and works in Berlin and Solothurn.
The exhibition was curated by Anna Wesle in collaboration with the artist. The exhibition catalog is published by modo Verlag, Freiburg i. Br.
