Art in Public Places - Today’s Artwork: "Jürg Stäuble - In Schwingung versetzt"

Published: March 24, 2026  ·  Period: 2026-03-24

The artwork "In Schwingung versetzt" by Jürg Stäuble transforms a functional ceiling into a subtle sensory experience. Located on the terraces of a residence for adults with severe physical disabilities, the work engages with its environment through quiet, painterly means. Using faint, shimmering lines on a light yellow ground, the piece creates optical shifts that make the flat surface appear to gently arch and breathe. This effect changes with the daylight and weather, directly linking the interior architectural space to the movement of the sky and nature outside. The intervention is a profound consideration of its audience, offering a delicate, ever-changing visual field that corresponds with the rhythms of the surrounding world, making the built environment feel alive and responsive.
