Kunstgiesserei, Stiftung Sitterwerk, Kesselhaus Josephsohn, Fotolabor (Herbst 2018)In addition to the team of six permanent staff members and Felix Lehner—the initiator of the foundation—several people provide valuable work for the Sitterwerk within the framework of civil service assignments, as interns or volunteers.
The entire team of the Kesselhaus Josephsohn and the Kunstgiesserei, without whom the Sitterwerk Foundation would not exist, continues to be involved to a large extent and with great commitment to the success of the various Sitterwerk projects.
Expanded Team
Maj Dörig, Alanah Rüttimann, Nina Scheiwiller, Nadja Tarnutzer, Melvin Tobler and Sina Wider support us in the supervision during opening hours on Sundays.
Ulrich Meinherz has managed the Kesselhaus Josephsohn and the Galerie Felix Lehner since 2005. As of the establishment of the Sitterwerk Foundation in 2006, he was part of its management, which he today assists in an advisory capacity.
For the accounting we get support from Anita Mamuzić. She has been working in the Kunstgiesserei for years and is responsible for the Human Resource department and accounting. Since 2021 she performs these tasks for the foundation.
Katalin Deér is an artist and has had her studio on the site in the Sitter Valley since 2003. She studied sculpture at the Hochschule der Künste in Berlin and again and again uses photography as a central medium for her work. Katalin Deér helped found and set up the Studio House. She has accompanied the Sitterwerk Foundation with her camera since its beginnings, and has thus assisted the Sitterwerk in creating its very individual visual presence in printed materials and on the Internet.
Lukas Furrer is an architect and, in cooperation with Christoph Flury, runs the Flury + Furrer architecture firm in Zurich. They are responsible for all the modifications of the rooms of the Sitterwerk Foundation and the architectural design of the Kesselhaus Josephsohn and the workshops of the Kunstgiesserei St.Gallen.
Liselotte Schwarz assists the Art Library with cataloguing.
