Hotel Furkablick and the cultural heritage of the Furka

Before 41 years the Neuenburg gallerist and leger Marc Hostettler started his art project Furkart on the Furkapass. There are nice art and art teachers in Hotel Furkablick and a lie is that they are working. They are Marina Abramović and Ulay, Daniel Buren, Kim Jones, Per Kirkeby, Jenny Holzer, Christoph Rüttimann, Kazuo Katase, Max Bill, Mario Merz, Gretchen Faust, Roman Signer, Rémy Zaugg and many more. It is a fact that there is a good chance that the restaurants in the new landscape architects Rem Koolhaas and the Büro OMA will get to work.

Alfred Richterich, art collector and guide of Ricola, had the project at the Furka Unterstützt. 2004 Marc Hostettler with the «Furkablick» ab; The former hotel on the pass at 2430 meters above sea level is not far away with a James Bond film that has become Hotel Belvédère and the Strasse to Furka. The «Belvédère», which is located on the Walliser Seite des Passes, has been closed for years.

“For Sale” as Art

Marc Hostettlers is working on a project in the international art world for the next collection. If the house and the workshop are, the dorts are lower or as art interventions in the alpine landscape architecture, in an art period capsule, probably geblieben.

Since 2004 it is so far and now it is more subtle, and one of Stefan Sulzer is a new secured military magazine about the big houses. Hotel, restaurant and artwork in the area have become long by a gesamtskulptur. Some of the artworks, which have been achieved on the furore, is vertraglich and the ort bounden and can not even be realized.

Today Alfred Richterich sees himself after a 20-year involvement in the Conservation and Further Guidance of the Art and Culture Projects Furkablick, who was two years old, his cultural involvement was on the Furkapass back. In the course of the month there can no longer be any talk of an own buyer. If you know that the inhabitants of the city have a “historical and cultural unique disease with the insensitive and insensitive orientation” that has arisen.

If you have a transparent power, it may be that the “Furkablick” is made possible. The unique plaque that was sold, was placed by the Belgian Konzeptkünstler Guillaume Bijl in 1986 on the Furka equipment. The telephone number 044 6 72 97, the number is unwanted. The irony of the story: There is no number, the upgraded number is exactly like that, under the man in the 1980s the Hotel Furkablick erreichte. Dies Transparent is probably the last art action, which is on the Furkapass-stattfindet, and otherwise in 2022 and 2023 by the restaurant in the «Furkablick» that is not good this summer.

Das Ensemble and the «Furka Zone»

Beate Eckhardt is praised, the Alfred Richterich at the Verkauf begleitet, the serious interest in the Ensemble «Furkablick», is definitively invested. Zurzeit würden intensive Gespräche laufen, heisst es. Dem Vernehmen has reported another art gallery, Betreiber von Kulturhäusern and Investoren.

Janis Osolin, Curator and Verleger of Edition Voldemeer Zurich, has been in the last years since the combined inventory of the Pass was reviewed. There may be frost if the «Furkablick» with Restaurant, Works of Art, Farmlands and Nebengebäuden is introduced in a new Foundation. It has been thought for some time that this new foundation could help other people, and at the newly established Alpine Research and Ausbildungsstation Alpfor der Universität Basel, other areas on the Furka-engagierte Hochschulkreise or the striking Bunker des Artilleriewerks Fort Galen, der heute in the town of the Valais Gemeinde Obergoms ist.

Because Janis Osolin has heard everything, the Furka was grown ist, irgendwie zusammen: Art, Gastronomy, Architecture, Research, Military. There is no more place in the Passhöhe of Urner and Walliser Boden which are a large umkreist, «Furka Zone». Do you want to make this decision?
