La 13e édition d’Art Genève investit Palexpo dès jeudi
Original
New Swiss institutions at Art Genève include Kunst Museum Winterthur, MASI Lugano, Musée des Beaux-Arts Le Locle (MBAL), Fondation Plaza, Fondation Gandur pour l’Art, Fondation Opale and Centre d’Art de Bienne. These institutions are presenting projects echoing their respective programs.
Geneva is represented at the show by the MAMCO and the Centre d’Art Contemporain Genève. The Musée d’art et d’histoire (MAH) will be presenting a major exhibition dedicated to the artist Carole Bove. Cantonal and municipal art funds will also be exhibiting various works.
A giant ladle
The organisers are also emphasising the international scope of the programme. London’s Cranford Collection will present an exhibition entitled “Crash”. The CAB Foundation in Brussels and Saint-Paul-de-Vence will be presenting works by its artist-in-residence Nicolas Chardon, while the Scharf-Gerstenberg Collection in Berlin will be showing a projection on the work of Goya.
Launched in 2024, this year’s solo section brings together fourteen galleries. Art Genève also unveils the second edition of “Sur-mesure”, a platform dedicated to large-format works. Food has been chosen as the main theme. Six video works projected on a loop and a giant sculpture of a ladle and spoon are on view.
Immersive music
Art Genève also includes a musical component. The Orchestre de la Suisse romande (OSR) will be presenting the first mobile virtual reality application for the general public, enabling visitors to immerse themselves in the heart of a symphony orchestra.
As for the tone of the show, musical performances entitled “WOLFTONES” will take place at Geneva’s Grand Théâtre. The aim is to explore the so-called “wolf” phenomenon, an acoustic parasite present in certain string instruments.
