In Concepts of the All-Over, Museum Haus Konstruktiv brings together a remarkable group show that celebrates the merging of colors, shapes, light, and architecture. As the final exhibition held in the ewz Unterwerk Selnau building before the museum’s move to the Löwenbräukunst site in spring 2025, it serves as a homage to the historical industrial structure that has been its home for over two decades. The exhibition features large-scale works by Carlos Bunga, Carlos Cruz-Diez, Fritz Glarner, Ana Montiel, Reto Pulfer, Esther Stocker, and Christine Streuli.

Ana Montiel’s The Cortical Columns is an immersive installation inspired by the neuronal structures that shape consciousness. Using her signature entoptic technique, Montiel’s paintings blur the lines between perception and reality through multiple layers of sprayed acrylic. The works shift from soft atmospheres to precise details when observed closely, evoking the complexity of how the brain transforms sensory inputs into subjective experiences. This effect resonates with the ideas of philosopher Thomas Metzinger, who suggests that consciousness is a form of brain simulation, constantly shaping our experience of reality.
