Stille Tafel

Sala Capauliana, Chur

The Silent Table exhibition brings together still lifes and works relating to the table from the early 20th century to the present day.

The exhibition Silent Table brings together still lifes and works around the table from the early 20th century to the present day - arrangements of flowers, fruit, crockery, books and everyday objects that address the interplay of transience, pleasure and culture in a variety of ways. The expression à table - at table - refers not only to the place of eating, but also to the social ritual, the invitation to pause, to meet and to contemplate. The exhibition moves in this field of tension: between opulent staging and meditative silence, between historical reference and contemporary questioning.

The works on display open up a dialog about what is on the table - and what resonates unspoken: memory, symbolism, consumption, but also emptiness, abundance or loss. "Stille Tafel" is therefore not only a homage to the genre of the still life, but also a polyphonic invitation à table - to see, think and reflect.

Stille Tafel refers to the annual exhibition "à table" at the Bündner Kunstmuseum, which is being held under this title to mark the 125th anniversary of the Bündner Kuntsverein.
