The Centre d’Art Contemporain Genève is pleased to announce its annual program for 2022, starting with two shows opening this Friday, March 4, during artgenève.
The Puppet Show
This group exhibition curated by Mohamed Almusibli features Jasmine Gregory, Nils Amadeus Lange, Reba Maybury, Denis Savary, Linda Semadeni, Ser Serpas, and Latefa Wiersch. Combining existing and new works, The Puppet Show explores both the puppet as an object and all its imaginary implications. A puppet show by Nils Amadeus Lange will be performed on the opening and closing dates of the exhibition.
Across the Policed World: A Transnocturnal Huayño
The Centre simultaneously presents an exhibition by multidisciplinary artist and musician Chuquimamani-Condori (who participated in the Biennale de l’Image en Mouvement in 2018 as Elysia Crampton Chuquimia). Amaru’s Tongue: Daughter, a work coproduced by Auto Italia (London), Centre d’Art Contemporain Genève, and Haus der Kunst (Munich), will be presented for the first time as part of a wider project with sound and visual installations, providing a historical foundation for the film. The artist will present a talk on the evening of the opening.
TEXT-SUPPORT
In early May, Aria Dean’s recently produced film Suite!—a work co-commissioned by the Centre d’Art Contemporain Genève and REDCAT (Los Angeles)—will be on view. The artist’s solo show in Geneva will include video, sculpture, and installation dialoguing around text components, feedback loops, and infinite regress.
Superfictional Sanctuaries
Later in the spring, Guerreiro do Divino Amor will take over the third floor with his project Superfictional World Atlas, which investigates the impact that fictions of various kinds—historical, geographical, social, media-related, political, and religious—have on the development of space and the collective imagination. On this occasion, “The Miracle of Helvetia,” the sixth chapter of a “superfictional” saga on Switzerland, will premiere in a large-scale installation.
Solo show by Will Benedict
For the last show of the year, Will Benedict—who recently took part in the 2021 edition of the Biennale de l’Image en Mouvement—will return to present both new and retrospective bodies of sculpture and video works throughout the Centre’s exhibition spaces.
