Kunstfest Zuger Säge - Finissage
4 September 2025 from 2 to 5 p.m.
In the heart of the Zug Valley, surrounded by forests, mountains and the rushing waters of the Weißbach stream, lies a special place: the over 100-year-old Zug sawmill. In the summer of 2025, it became a venue for living art through the Rote Wand Artist-in-Residence programme – international artists worked here with wood from the Zug forests, inspired by nature and with the freedom to create something new.
Over the summer, Albrecht Zauner, Bildstein/Glatz, Sandra Holzer, Janine Rogen, Remo Meier, Ronja Svaneborg, Roland Adlassnig, May-Britt Nyberg and Victor Mangeng filled the sawmill with their artistic creations. The result is monumental sculptures, fine woodcuts, performative installations and surprising material experiments – works that reflect the unique atmosphere of the sawmill.
The entire artist-in-residence programme was curated and organised by Wolfgang Schwarzmann. With his experience and flair for artistic processes, he has transformed the Zug sawmill into a lively place of encounter and inspiration.
On Thursday, 4 September 2025, we will celebrate the grand finale together: The Kunst Säge finissage invites you to discover the works that have been created, talk to the artists and experience the venue in a festive atmosphere. Many of the works will also be available for purchase on this day – a piece of Zuger Säge for your home.
The afternoon will be accompanied by live music from the Lech traditional band, fine snacks and drinks.
Location: Zuger Säge – a place of tranquillity, encounter and inspiration.
