Komm Glüückck

In the exhibition *Komm Glüückck*, the open art museum in St. Gallen is showcasing works from its collection in which the interplay between words and images takes centre stage.

The diverse nature of artistic practice raises fascinating questions: when is a thought expressed in language, and when does it take the form of an image in its written form? What can an image convey that a text cannot – and vice versa? Art is particularly helpful in making feelings and experiences visible when words reach their limits. The exhibition brings together thoughts, greetings, poems and stories, typographic works and picture stories, art postcards, as well as conceptual explorations of language and vocabulary. The ways in which artists relate image and text to one another are revealed in a variety of ways: the word itself becomes an image, is inscribed within it, accompanies it or comments on it. The exhibition thus offers a multifaceted exploration of the interplay between seeing and reading, between linguistic expression and visual imagination.
