PAPILLARYA
How Language Flows
The exhibition was dedicated to the diverse integration of language in art and the expression of language through artistic means. In addition to presenting a variety of works, from photography to video art, the exhibition also offered a range of events, including tattoo afternoons, a poetry jam evening and lectures.
Papillary Fields
Papillary Fields took place in a medical center in Zurich Witikon. This location was undergoing its own transformation, from a COVID testing site to a practice for autologous blood therapy, tattoo removal, and Botox treatments.
We invited four young emerging artists from the cantons of Basel, Lucerne, and Valais to showcase their work or create new pieces. We had the shared task of engaging with the space and environment. As a result, new artworks and installations emerged, addressing themes of skin, identity, alienation, and addiction.
yesterday was the day before today
The first exhibition was held in collaboration with Planet 5. Through an open call, we sought works that addressed beginnings, endings, and changes. It was the first multimedia exhibition at Planet 5. We utilized spaces that served as a concert hall, kitchen, and bar. The exhibition was organized jointly with social workers from the city of Zurich. Nine artists from Zurich participated. In order to pay the artists a fee, we requested five francs entrance and sold food.
