The Burgerliche Ersparniskasse Bern, the oldest bank on the square and in the canton of Bern, is still the savings and mortgage bank for Bernburgers today. To honor the founders of 1820, the Burgerliche Ersparniskasse Bern regularly engages with the guilds through various projects. For example, the 700th anniversary of the Zunftgesellschaft zum Affen was taken as an opportunity to invite Bernese artists to explore the theme of the monkey and Bern in their works.
This year, Studio Thom Pfister was once again commissioned by the Burgerliche Ersparniskasse Bern to design and implement the digital annual report. The core of the concept is an art project with exhibition "The Monkeys of Bern" and a high quality art magazine.
The exhibition was a great success and took place on May 12, 2022 in Kornhausforum Bern. The works of the 18 artists are published on the website of the digital annual report 2021 www.bek-gb.ch/kunstausstellung. The art magazine can be obtained at the counter of the Burgerliche Ersparniskasse Bern.
