Pierre Vadi

Attila Menesi

Last autumn, we were invited to Budapest by the Hungarian association Young Artists Studio. Following numerous encounters resulting from that trip, we designed an exhibition programme including Swiss and Hungarian artists, i.e. Pierre Vadi (CH), Jérémie Gindre (CH), Tibor Gyenis (HU), Endre Koronczi (HU) and Attila Menesi (HU). As a first step, the exhibitions will take place in our space in Geneva. Then, next autumn, they will transfer to Budapest in the spaces of the Young Artists Studio and of Trafó - House of Contemporary Arts. It is, in fact, a two step project, since each artist will present different works in each place. Moreover, for the first time we managed to arrange an exchange of residences, with Tibor Gyenis as guest in our Geneva studio, while Jérémie Gindre will follow as guest in Budapest.

Under the title Sky Blue, Pierre Vadi has designed a vast environment by veiling the angles and volumes of the major hall of attitudes (160 m2) behind thin, light blue plastic curtains. This creates a kind of fragile grotto whose walls ripple when a body walks by. That strange and fairy world, where low spots spread a warm light, is guarded by impressive exotic snakes that seem ready to strike at any moment. Elsewhere, one of the cavities reveals a mysterious lunar landscape; further on, a ground painting based on a geographic map evokes a camouflage piece of cloth. As the winner of the Manor Prize 2001, Pierre Vadi presents simultaneously another selection of his work at the Mamco (Geneva Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art).

Opening March 26 from 6 pm
