The 2024 festival
The Kunstlokal Festival 2024 presented ten artistic positions on the theme of "(un)productive leisure". The artists and cultural practitioners responded to the collections and locations of the participating museums and institutions and reflected on these in the field of tension between work and leisure. In addition to the work contributions, the events and workshops deepened the artistic approaches with which (un)productivity was explored.
The Kunstlokal Festival works closely with these Zurich Oberland museums, placing us at the interface of art, commerce and history. The art format supports artistic contributions that explore and reinterpret objects, materials and depicted stories in museum collections.
The museums make their knowledge and collections available to the participating artists and give them the space to present new artworks or projects. A series of events, talks and workshops accompany the works and invite visitors to participate.
The selected artworks create a reflection on the relevance of museum objects and local collections and enable the festival to create a unique connection between artistic practice, cultural heritage and the region's self-image.

Kunstlokal Visits Zurich Oberland Museums
The Zurich Oberland is home to numerous museums that offer different insights into the region's multi-layered history and significant artifacts. Their collections tell us a lot about ideas of identity, traditions, value systems and technologies that have played a role in the cultural development of the region. From sound machines and children's toys to medieval weapons and spinning mills, a story of communities and industrialization unfolds.
