For several decades, women were virtually compelled to occupy themselves primarily with themes relating to their own situation in art and the world, and thus to create a (feminist) expression in contemporary art. This was the only way, through intensive self-reflection and power analysis, that they stood a chance of being noticed. This is why the women's art of the past 30 to 40 years is so intensively bound up with the concepts of identity and gender. Representative of this are artists such as Valie Export, Cindy Sherman and Rosemarie Trockel. The exhibition "Towards a New Ease - Set 4 from the Collection of the Fotomuseum Winterthur" wants gently to ring in a new everyday life. It introduces work by a series of women in a joint exhibition, thus creating once again a communal rhetoric framework, whereby generations, formats, attitudes and approaches are mixed up together, and the exhibited works no longer revolve exclusively around the areas mentioned but demonstrate new, different ways that are now embarked upon by women in a natural way.
The exhibition is accompanied by the collection publication "Set 4" The exhibition is curated by Thomas Seelig.

Simone Nieweg is a photographer of gardens and landscapes. Her work, as it has manifested itself over the past thirty years, knows no other interest. At the same time, a certain serenity hovers over her pictures. In them, nature seems entirely focused on itself. One immediately notices that human beings are absent. The allure of colors and shapes...
« Je ne peux m’empêcher, atteste Gérard Uféras, d’associer la pratique de l’Art à la notion d’amour et de partage ». (extrait de son livre Etats de grâce, éditions du Fantom)
«Egyptian pack» evokes many associations - here are both Petersburgers favorite topic of werewolves (see the movie of E. Yufit «Corpsmen werewolves») and references to the Perm animal style.
Also we can recall British film «The Wicker Man» (1973) with its ritual procession of the man-beasts, ho...
