Das szenografische Konzept für Budweis ist eine Weiterentwicklung der früheren Ausstellung in Boltshausers Ofenturm für das Ziegeleimuseum in Cham. Dort haben wir, inspiriert von der eisernen Falttür des Gebäudes, hohe, gekippte Elemente entwickelt, die jeweils aus drei übereinander montierten Bildtafeln bestehen. In der Ausstellung in Budweis sind diese Tafeln gewachsen, sie erstrecken sich über die Decke, setzen sich durch Türöffnungen zwischen den Räumen fort oder stehen wie vertikale Klappbücher im Raum. Die Szenografie entwickelt sich zu einer Architektur, die in den Raum eingreift und neue Sichtweisen und Bildräume ermöglicht. Neben eindrucksvollen Schwarz-Weiß-Bildern des Fotografen Luca Ferrario und Fotografien aus den Bildserien früherer Ausstellungen werden Renderings aktueller Projekte gezeigt. Im Gegensatz zur raumgreifenden Szenografie werden Boltshausers Arbeiten klassisch an den Wänden der Galerie präsentiert, die Werke in ihren strengen, einheitlichen Rahmen sind dicht an dicht gehängt. Die Modelle stehen wie Skulpturen auf einzelnen Podesten und suggerieren eine subtile Verbindung zwischen der künstlerischen und der architektonischen Arbeit. Im Sinne der Wiederverwendung und des Wiederaufbaus sind die Grundelemente wie Regale für Materialproben, Bildtafeln und Podeste vollständig aus unbehandeltem Wabenkarton gefertigt.

The scenographic concept for Budweis is a development of the earlier exhibition in Boltshauser’s kiln tower for the Brickwork Museum in Cham. There, inspired by the building’s folding iron door, we developed tall, tilted elements, each consisting of three picture panels mounted one above the other. In the exhibition in Budweis these panels have grown, they extend across the ceiling, continue through doorways between the rooms or stand in space like vertical folding books. The scenography develops into an architecture that intervenes in space, allowing entirely new ways of seeing and new kinds of picture space. Renderings of current projects are shown alongside impressive black and white pictures by photographer Luca Ferrario and photographs from the series of images in earlier exhibitions. In contrast to the scenography that engages space, Boltshauser’s artwork is presented in the classic way on the walls of the gallery, the pieces in their severe, uniform frames are hung close together. The models stand like sculptures on individual pedestals,
suggesting a subtle link between the artistic and architectural work. In the spirit of re-use and re-build the basic elements such as shelving for material samples, picture panels and podiums are made entirely from untreated honeycomb cardboard.
