The best Swiss press drawings 2013
"Gezeichnet", the annual review exhibition of Swiss press cartoonists, is entering the next round. From December 21, 2013 to January 5, 2014, the best caricatures and cartoons of 2013 will be on display in the Stadtsaal of the Kornhaus.
Around 200 works by 45 cartoonists on the important events and debates of 2013 will be on display. The list of participating cartoonists is a "who's who" of the Swiss scene: of course, well-known names such as Felix Schaad (Tages-Anzeiger), Max Spring (Berner Zeitung), Orlando Eisenmann (Südostschweiz, Der Bund), Peter Schrank (Baslerzeitung), Chappatte (Le Temps, NZZ am Sonntag), Ruedi Widmer (Woz) are not missing.
At the vernissage on December 21, former Federal Councillor Ruth Dreifuss and Aargau Councillor of States Christine Egerszegi will give their personal assessment of the year in conversation with "Rundschau" presenter Sandro Brotz. Many of the exhibiting artists will not only be at the Kornhausforum for the vernissage: On numerous exhibition days, the interested public will be able to look over the shoulders of the caricaturists and cartoonists at work.
"Gezeichnet 2013" is under the patronage of the satirical magazine Nebelspalter and is supported by the City of Bern, the Canton of Bern, the Burgergemeinde Bern and the coffee specialist La Semeuse. The event aims to give the interested public an understanding of the daily work of Swiss press illustrators beyond the newspaper columns.
