Two exhibitions

CCS Centre Culturel Suisse, Paris

Olivier Mosset was invited to imagine an exhibition and the result is a show comprising works -painting, sculpture, installation, an automobile, performance, film- done in collaboration with other artists. Julian Charriere has created "We Are All Astronauts", an installation that is infused with a disturbing poetry that examines the terrestrial globe through its representation.

comunicato stampa

Olivier Mosset (born in 1944, based in Tucson) is a major figure on both the Swiss and international art scene. Although mainly known for his abstract geometrical painting, Mosset explores other areas in art as well. The Swiss Cultural Center has invited him to imagine a type of exhibition he hasn't had the opportunity to realize until now. The result is a show comprising works—painting, sculpture, installation, an automobile, performance, film—done in collaboration with other artists. Several pieces have been produced specifically for this event.

Works from John Armleder, Marie-Agnès Gillot, Amy Granat & Drew Heitzler, Madjid Hakimi, Jacob Kassay, Alix Lambert, Bertrand Lavier, Olivier Mosset, Mai-Thu Perret, Jeffrey Schad & Vincent Szarek

Olivier Mosset will join Marc-Olivier Wahler for a conference Tuesday 21 January at 8pm.

The double film T.S.O.Y.W., 2007, 200 minutes, directed by Amy Granat & Drew Heitzler, and produced by Olivier Mosset, will be shown on 8 March at 6pm, with Olivier Mosset at Centre Pompidou. This screening is part of the Nouveau Festival.

There will be a performance by John Armleder and Olivier Mosset. Date and venue to be announced.

Contemporary on view:

Julian Charrière
We Are All Astronauts

Julian Charrière (born in 1987, based in Berlin), who earned a master's degree in Olafur Eliasson's class at Berlin's Institut für Raumexperimente in 2013, takes planet Earth as the field of his inquiry. Whether collecting sand from UN-recognized countries and samples from the world's longest rivers, or realizing performances in Ethiopia and Iceland, Charrière plays with geology, science and architecture.

At the Swiss Cultural Center for his first solo show in France, the artist has created a new configuration of We Are All Astronauts Aboard a Little Spaceship Called Earth (2013), an installation that is infused with a disturbing poetry that examines the terrestrial globe through its representation, fragility and life expectancy.
