SPECIFIC OBJECTS

“The objects Aldo Bakker designs can be categorized as sculpture, furniture, and pouring vessels. For the last category Bakker uses the Dutch neologism schenkers. The verb „schenken“ in Dutch, is an ambiguous word, as it means to pour („aus-schenken“ in German), but also to give. The German noun „Schenker“, however, only refers to a person who gives, but not to a vessel that pours. But pouring is giving. That suggests that Bakker’s neologism „Schenker„ does not refer to run-of-the-mill vessels that pour water, oil, vinegar, or salt, but also to objects that give new forms to the world. Subsequently, also his sculptures and furniture are examples of new forms given to the world.

„In Bakker’s universe fascinating forms are never complex. But their lack of complexity does not mean that his forms are simple.“

THE YURT

Yurt, Season VI

Things are happening in Lech. When Zayad Shah's Kyrgyz nomad tent visits Lech – this year for the sixt time starting December 5th – Arlberg guests have a different idea of what a living room should offer.

So far at The Yurt: Sometimes guests feel so comfortable in the handcrafted, Kyrgyz yurt that they come not just for one evening of their vacation week, but several times. However, it can also happen that music-loving guests – wisely after the host releases the speakers – link up and play their private playlist. This is clearly the exception, but the English guest DJ, who recently did this on two consecutive days, called The Yurt his favorite living room in the world for good reason.

Just don't call a yurt an igloo.

It might have something to do with the fact that "there's an igloo like no other in the entire Arlberg region," as was recommended to a German couple. They open the wooden door, tilt their heads slightly to enter the brightly varnished willow dome, which is larger than it appears from the outside, and see people in T-shirts. It's pleasantly warm, the Japanese Roku Gin mixes with the excellent tonic from Le Tribute. Before you know it, and the other spirits from the Japanese "House of Suntory" have been awakened (Toki Whiskey or Haku Vodka), the time spent is a good one. The German couple felt the same way when they returned with the rest of their family, from their 20-year-old grandchildren to their 80-year-old grandparents.

Kunstvolle Winterimpulse in der Raiffeisenbank Lech

18.12.2025

Raiffeisenbank Lech invites you to a special vernissage on Thursday, 18 December 2025, combining regional identity and poetic paper art.

Under the title ‘Ein Stück Heimat’ (A Piece of Home), Bregenzerwald artist Ulrike Maria Kleber presents powerful portraits of women that are deeply rooted in the tradition of ‘Juppo’ folk costumes. Her works tell of female strength, cultural continuity and the beauty of customs – realised in techniques such as acrylic, watercolour and printmaking. Kleber, trained as a photoengraving artist and artistically influenced by studies with renowned artists, knows how to condense the history and present of the Bregenzerwald into expressive images. Her female figures are silent heroines who embody life in the region and at the same time enable a modern view of tradition.

The exhibition is complemented by the poetic paper works of Hohenems-based graphic designer and artist Daniela Peter, who transforms texts into artistic formats under the label PAPIER&ICH. Her works – leporellos, text umbrellas, hanging texts and more – are produced in small series on recycled cardboard or textured paper with a honeycomb pattern. The texts are condensed thoughts, often in question form, sometimes rhyming, always with depth and a fine sense of language.

Peter designs, prints and produces all pieces himself in Hohenems and has been working freelance since 2012. His works invite you to pause, to give gifts and to live your own shining life – a purist textual pleasure for everyday life and special occasions.
