2023, Collage 128 x 67 cm

Lex Vögtli (*1972) ist Künstlerin. Sie lebt und arbeitet in Basel.

During her last trip to Japan, Kristell Silva Tancun had the chance to see many inspiring places that she was able to illustrate. This creation is inspired by her discovery of Kyoto, in the heart of the Kawaramachi shopping streets and their lanterns that light up the night.

Abstractions from emotions, what we cannot explain with words but it could fill up the soul.

Hello I am Eva Maria Espejo aka Eva Mirror, a Visual Artist and Designer based since 2014 in Switzerland. I am born in Barcelona and then lived in several places as Madrid, Sevilla, Brighton, Buenos Aires, Torino and Berlin, first started to study Sociology interested in art, cultures and ethnology but soon I saw the desire of creation by means of investigation.

My paintings and Illustration are mostly animals and portraits, I listened once that my works are a mix between Pop, Surrealism, Naive Art, Psychedelic, Magic realism and Avant-garde. As Digital Artist I am working since 2010 and as Graphic Design I made experience in Editorial, Magazines and Illustration. I’ve taught Art for Primary and Secondary school as complementary activity using personal tools for the creative own knowledge and development as therapy or simply as way to start learning arts.

SKIES ist ein rauschender Fluss an Bildern und Klängen, ohne Anfang und ohne Ende. Die begehbare Videoinstallation nimmt die Besucher:innen mit auf eine Reise durch vertraute Umgebungen, die zu fernen Galaxien werden. Der 30-minütige Loop wird im Liegen betrachtet – inmitten einer Klangkomposition, die sich über sechzehn Kanäle zu einem dreidimensionalen akustischen Raum entfaltet.

Tiergut

Eine heiter - ernste Design-Betrachtung verschiedenster Alltagsgegenstände in Tierform. DesignerInnen interessieren sich nicht nur für die technischen Raffinessen von Produkten. Neben den sogenannten funktional-technischen Aspekten haben allgemein kulturelle bzw. kommunikative Aspekte im Design eine wichtige Funktion. Designobjekte in Tierform haben eine weit in die Vergangenheit reichende Geschichte. Auch die Moderne konnte dem Wunsch nach emotionaler Zeichensetzung in Form von Tieren wenig anhaben. So finden sich in unzähligen Alltagsobjekten direkte oder indirekte, abstrahierte oder kitschige Tierformen.
Und weil wir Menschen zu einer symbolischen Wahrnehmung neigen, sehen wir in vielen Gegenständen mehr als nur einen Gegenstand, so in unserem Fall z.B. Tiere auch dort wo nie einE DesignerIn an die Darstellung eines Tieres gedacht hat.

ANALOG <-> DIGITAL is a movement theater performance that explores our obedience to the digital reality, our screen addiction, and our nostalgia for the analog world. ANALOG <-> DIGITAL and its expanded universe will be part of the RENAISSANCE 2.0 exhibition at Commun (Geneva, CH) in February and March 2025.

In this world teetering between chaos and calm, a choreography of digital and analog objects emerges: books are burned while e-readers flourish, vinyl records create a new dance floor, and Polaroids become our only archives. Analog and digital sounds clash in an immersive soundscape. A scenography blending pixels and objects creates a temporary space where the micro-movements of the performers become visible: a spinning top that continues turning in a palm, an eye blinded by the glare of a screen. Inspired by our contradictory desires, perpetually balanced between analog and digital, the performers take the audience on a wild choreographic journey, one that ends with a playful wink.

K&A is a multidisciplinary duo based in Geneva, formed by Karla Isidorou and Alexandra Bellon, blending their diverse backgrounds and complex cultural roots. Since 2017, they have been presenting poetic and political concepts. Their work fluctuates across varying combinations of latitudes and longitudes: urban and rural territories appear and vanish, their ecosystems magnetizing their artistic practice. K&A creates tools to blur the distance between the two, to inhabit the void. The concepts for their projects arise from long periods of research: torrents of books, wandering images, creaking sounds, deserter writings, performative actions, poetic and socio-political contexts that converge to create a specific environment for each project. Despite the multiplicity of performances, videos, and visuals, K&A has always worked for the future, fostering collisions and encounters between people, environments, and ideas.
