CCS Centre Culturel Suisse, Paris
Carol Bove, Vidya Gastaldon, Amy O'Neill and Mai-Thu Perret, all of them born in the 1970s and either living in or coming from Geneva. Although the collective proposal embodies no theoretical or formal link between the works, one can nevertheless distinguish similarities in their investigations, which feature references to manual skills or precise moments of 20th century history.
EVENEMENT #1/07
After devoting all of 2006 to the Aller-Retour cycle, the Centre culturel suisse now proposes
a program without a specific theme. Always decidedly pluridisciplinary, the #1/07 event presents budding young artists and more established ones who renew themselves.
Exhibitions
WORKER, DRONE, QUEEN
In the main exhibition space, we present, a group show by four artists: CAROL BOVE, VIDYA GASTALDON, AMY O'NEILL and MAI-THU PERRET. Under this title, chosen like the program visual by the artists themselves, this exhibition brings together four young women who were born in the 1970s. All four live in or come from Geneva, and most of them know each other well. Although this collective proposal embodies no theoretical or formal link between the works, one can nevertheless distinguish similarities in their investigations which feature specific references to manual skills or the crafts, or to elements relating to precise moments of 20th century history.
