Historic record covers in the Loeb shop window
The shop windows of the Loeb department store in Bern have been a creative cult for decades. The Bern University of the Arts HKB is now taking advantage of this with an exhibition on the history of record covers and short concerts for passers-by.
From October 17 to November 3, 2013, the Department of Design and Art at the HKB will be exhibiting record covers from the huge collection of Robert Hasenböhler from Bern. The significance of cover design in the context of art and commerce will be addressed in a supporting program.
In cooperation with the HKB Research Department, jazz will take center stage on October 17: Christian Steulet will show links to the SNSF research project "Growing up - The Emancipation of Jazz in Switzerland 1965-1980" in a performance entitled "Undercover", based on jazz record covers.
Accordionist Hans Hassler will also be giving short concerts in the Schaufenster as a special guest (starting at 5.30pm).
