“Flowers for your Wedding Day”
Lecture performance by Matthias Gabi
Friday 3rd of May 2013, 7pm.
Entrance free, booking essential.
RSVP here
Matthias Gabi gathers images. His archive contains over 14 000 press illustrations organized by thematic folders. A collection of non-fiction picture books and large amounts of postcards also sit across shelves at the artist’s studio. Together with news clippings, magazines, sales catalogues, calendar imagery and accumulated .jpeg files, this pictorial reserve is the raw material of Gabi’s art practice.
His lecture performances consist in a speech accompanied by the real-time projection of a video documenting the artist’s gestures, as he browses through a selection of items from his visual supplies. Gabi addresses his idiosyncratic aesthetic concerns as well as wider issues around the circulation of images in today’s hypertextual environment. Focusing on vernacular photographs, Flowers for your Wedding Day is an occasion to encounter a singular way of thinking about images, and to consider new questions about that ubiquitous medium, photography.
Curated by Lucile Dupraz. With the support of ECAL/Ecole cantonale d’art de Lausanne.

PROTOCOL #1: “Participant Observation”
Yann Gross [CH]
Bronwen Parker-Rhodes [UK]
28 June — 23 July 2011
Opening Party + discussion with the artists
Tuesday 28 June, 7pm
PROTOCOL aims to explore some shifts of the visual regime through a series of exhibitions and talks dedicated to photography. Each event will show the work of emerging talents from the United Kingdom and Switzerland. Following a recurrent procedure, the goal is to offer a laboratory that facilitates exchanges between different fields and audiences. For this PROTOCOL #1 session we chose to work around the notion of Participant Observation; the works of Yann Gross and Bronwen Parker-Rhodes trace the nexus between photographic aesthetics and ethnographic investigation.

Talk series: "Sousveillance"
Guest speaker: Adnan Hadzi (Deptford.tv)
Saturday 16 July, 8pm
Adnan Hadzi's talk will focus on the nature of CCTV images through the notion of sousveillance, that is to say the recording of an activity from the perspective of a participant in the activity. By making visible CCTV images which normally remain hidden, sousveillance is a "surveillance from above" that provide documents to create subjectives narratives of the city.
PROTOCOL #1 takes place within CREATE, a unique cultural festival that's all about taking part.

Fellow Swiss
artists Frederic Cordier and Simon Deppierraz collaborate for this
exhibition with London-based print designer Richard Rhys, exploring the
emptiness and the fullness of a space, from floor to the ceiling, from
wall to wall, where art installation meets wall paper. Their shared
interest for structures, patterns, in two and three dimensional spaces
will evolve on site, according to the exhibition space, where they
develop a further step towards a vocabulary of space.
