Motteli

2016

Alpine Series

traditional cheese dairy tools from maple wood, steel, felt
H 299 × W 23 × D 23 cm
edition of 3 + 1 AP

‘Motteli’ was made from native Swiss maple wood by a historic, traditional Swiss carpenter, a Weissküfer, who usually produces equipment for dairy and alpine farming.

This piece forms part of the alpine 2 exhibition, where Sachs reflects on alpine history, culture, and craftsmanship and  was shown alongside some iconic pieces at the Vieux Chalet in Gstaad (Switzerland) in collaboration with Hauser & Wirth. The exhibition featured sculptures, portraiture and a large-scale site-specific installation on the exterior.
