This is an interdisciplinary project, the creation of a space that brings together conceptual and craft practices, inviting artists and designers who have been producing works within - or in a corner of - their framework. The project questions the notion of artistic field, the subjective value of a given object, be it art-work or product, as well as the exhibition form in itself.

On exhibit at The Corner Piece N° 2 are a series of colorful concrete stools by Max Bill; a tiny precious everyday tool by Valentin Carron; Johanna Dahm's destructive take on a Swiss icon; enhanced versions of ordinary objects by Ligia Dias; a museum piece by Max Fröhlich; a playful fork by Bruno Munari; a sugar cube as adornment by Meret Oppenheim; a wallpaper by Walter Pfeiffer; and silver clothes hangers by Bernhard Schobinger. An underlying idea of « Swiss perfection » is common to all these thinkers.
