Planetfall – Unfixed Ground
The opening of PLANET H with "Planetfall – Unfixed Ground" marks a first landing. The exhibition title echoes the name of the new art space and understands "planetfall" as touching down on ground that is not yet stable. The term comes from science fiction and describes the moment when a spacecraft lands on a foreign planet for the first time.
The artists Lisa Reiter, Edda Strobl, Simon Goritschnig, and Daniel Hafner approach this moment from different perspectives. Their works explore states of transition and change. They shift familiar ways of seeing and question existing structures. The materials often appear fragile or experimental, and the works suggest processes rather than finished results. The ground we stand on—both literally and metaphorically—appears not as stable, but as something constantly changing.
At a time when many things feel uncertain and new approaches are needed, planetfall – unfixed ground can be understood as an attempt to see instability as a space of possibility.
With this, PLANET H opens a place that does not aim to define fixed answers, but instead creates space for exploration, exchange, and new perspectives.

Modern People Baden

Site-specific explorations – Open, Mindful, Permeable – Radical Tenderness
Modern People is a hyperlocal, manual-algorithm-based performance series and an attempt to analyse society as an organism, and in particular its material excretions and waste, in order to gain insights into its state of health, comparable to a coprological examination.
Elke Auer und Daniel Hafner embark on a search for physical and intellectual spaces and through a playful process, place freely accessible material and immaterial resources in new social relations and make them sensually experienceable.
Performances
12.6. and 13.6.2026
Details coming soon.
The performances are part of the programme Ephemeral Forms of Presence. It unfolds as a five-part experimental exhibition. Through performance, it focuses on moments when art is not something to be displayed, but something to be lived. At its core lies the question of what happens when a work resists permanence, when art dissolves as an event — no longer visible, yet still felt: as a shared act of remembering, as a fleeting trace that exists only within the experience itself.
