Glarus

Capital of the Swiss canton of Glarus, situated on the River Linth at the foot of the Glärnisch Massif (height 2,700 m/8,858 ft); population (1995) 5,600.

From 1506 to 1516 the religious reformer Ulrich Zwingli was the resident priest in Glarus. The town was completely destroyed by a fire fanned by a violent föhn wind in 1861.

As in some other Swiss towns, an annual occurrence in Glarus is the yearly Landsgemeinde, or regional assembly, at which the local government officials and the cantonal representatives to the Swiss Federal Assembly are elected.

A version of the project was exhibited at Kunsthaus Glarus last summer, where Bonvicini made parodic reference to the male as hunter by hanging a blue cubist Picasso in the bachelor pad-an idea she gleaned from an old Playboy that recommended single men display a Picasso or some sort of "primitive" art to reference the cave.
