Poster for Agnes Scherer’s solo exhibition Ein seltsames Spiel on display at Kunst Halle Sankt Gallen from November 4th, 2023, to January 21st, 2024.

The museum describes the show as follows on their website:

In her comprehensive solo exhibition, Agnes Scherer condenses life-size papier-mâché figures and paintings into stage-like settings. The title of the show, referencing the song Die Liebe ist ein seltsames Spiel (“Love is a strange game”) by Connie Francis, explores the different conceptions of romantic love and the power relations that come with it. Common representations and narratives – including medieval rituals or wedding scenes – are dismantled through symbolic shifts to reflect on contemporary views of these images.
