Project

A multidisciplinary collective of 13 young creatives is reviving the former ENIWA Werkhof in Aarau. In the last week of August, numerous site-specific works in music / installation / visual arts / photography / video will be created on the power station island. The theme of connection winds like a red thread through the area, linking different art disciplines, indoor and outdoor spaces, people, living beings and objects. The public exhibition of works will take place all day on Saturday and Sunday and invites visitors to discover and linger.

Location

Ehemaliger ENIWA Werkhof, Kraftwerkinsel Aarau
Erlinsbacherstrasse 57, 5000 Aarau.
From Aarau railway station on foot or bus no. 2 in the direction of Erlinsbach to Alte Badeanstalt. Parking spaces at the Schachen open-air swimming pool.

The former storage space of the Aarau energy supplier Eniwa has been empty since 2018 and will be demolished in the next few years in the course of the new construction of the hydroelectric power plant. The area will be renaturalised. The main building consists of a large empty high-bay warehouse with raw, concrete walls and elongated, vertical windows. On the upper floors are the former company kitchen, a workshop and various offices. The rooms are unchanged in furnishings and fittings since the 1960s/70s.
