Two Exhibitions

Centre d'Art Contemporain, Geneve

ORGANIC
Curator : Paolo Colombo
23 November 2012 - 3 February 2013

ORGANIC addresses the use of sculpture in contemporary art practices, and in particular in the work of four young to mid-career artists: Thea Djordjadze, Monika Sosnowska, Andro Wekua and Pae White. Across border lines, within different contexts, sculpture is a recurring practice, often blurring the lines of the medium and merging with installation.

This exhibition will explore how forms that are created both determine and are determined by the space in which they are sited; how distorsions can take on either architectural or narrative dimensions, all the while maintaining an organic relation with reality. In the works on show, the fine arts and the decorative arts merge, architectural space becomes mental space and the notion of mass becomes experience of spatiality.

EDY FERGUSON
Selected Works. 1990 - Present
Curator: Paolo Colombo
23 November 2012 - 3 February 2013

The Centre is hosting the first retrospective of American artist Edy Ferguson in Switzerland and her biggest in-depth solo exhibition to date. More than one hundred works have been assembled in Geneva for an installation that is tantamount to a Gesamtkunstwerk – a total art work – and that shows the extent to which the artist's work has anticipated many of the debates central to artistic creation today.
