Starting the new year with deep gratitude for the opportunities of 2024, especially for the strangers I met, the workshops I had the chance to explore, the general support I received and the resonance I felt.🩶
A heartfelt thanks to
@kunstmuseumluzern , especially
@wurzeltod , for making the 'Solo' exhibition possible, as well as to
@sic_elephanthouse and the amazing team of artists behind it, for bringing 'Finezia Direzia' to life, peculiarly
@sabrinanegroni_ and
@mirebo as well as
@noel.oppliger for the graphic design.
I’m grateful to
@kunstgiesserei_sg , project manager
@sonja.schuerpf ,
@niesenglass_switzerland ,
@marbrerie_kaiser and
@bk_gelato for collaborating on new works and allowing me to use your infrastructure.
Thank you to
@kantonluzern for the research grant that has allowed me to focus on material-based research since last summer.
I’m excited to announce my first Kunst und Bau implementation, where I’ll be creating a series of wood and stone sculptures for the Steinhof school expansion in Lucerne.
@stadtluzern
Most of all, I’m grateful for the privilege of continuing my practice as an artist and being able to share atmospheres that invite moments of reflection and hope amidst ambivalent, disruptive, and heartbreaking times.
A big thank you to the foundations that supported me financially, enabling this new body of work:
@philaneo.artfund , Pentagram Stiftung, Ernst und Olga Gubler-Hablützel Stiftung,
@kantongr , Casimir Eigensatz Stiftung,
@stadtluzern ,
@prohelvetia , LuzernPlus, and Temperatio Stiftung.
Thank you also
@galeriesolca for showcasing my work among a group of amazing young artists.
