The 2024 edition of the Klöntal Art Triennial took place in Diesbach, in the Hinterland of Kanton Glarus, Switzerland on a former industrial site. The site – a weaving mill founded in the mid-19th century and operated until 2002 – is the starting point for a multi-layered examination of the history and future of the region’s industrial and post-industrial society. The site exemplarily represents the overarching socio-economic changes with which the Swiss Pre-Alpine valleys are confronted in the transition to the information age.
We developed an online platform, contribution archive, digital exhibition-space and an accompanying publication with contributions from various disciplines (artists, journalists, authors, historians, anthropologists, urban planners, etc).
