Road to Nowhere: Tashi Brauen & Chris Bünter

,

The Artists’ Journey

The creative partnership between Tashi Brauen and Chris Bünter began spontaneously in 2020, rooted in friendship and artistic curiosity. What started as an impromptu studio visit evolved into a dynamic collaboration that embraces chance and experimentation.

A Fusion of Print and Collage

Brauen initiated the project by repurposing pages from the Swiss art and culture magazine Du, experimenting with rudimentary print techniques to create abstract, monochromatic compositions. Bünter then intervened, applying his signature cut-out technique, rotating, offsetting, and replacing elements to introduce unexpected visual tensions.

Surrealist Influences and Unpredictable Outcomes

Their approach recalls the Surrealist game “Exquisite Corpse,” in which artists build upon each other’s work in an unstructured, free-flowing manner. This method allows deconstruction and spontaneity to guide the final compositions, balancing control and intuition.

The Berlin Exhibition

Following successful exhibitions in Basel, Bern, and Zurich—where the city of Zurich acquired a selection of their works—Road to Nowhere presents 14 new pieces in Berlin. The exhibition marks another step in their evolving dialogue and artistic exchange.

Event Details

The opening reception takes place on April 24, 2025, from 18:00 to 21:00 at Ronewa Art Projects, with both artists in attendance. The event also serves as the Berlin launch of Tashi Brauen’s book Hold On, a retrospective of his artistic career over the past 15 years.
