Guided Tour OBSERVATOIRES
For this 38th edition of AVV, the Museum of Art and History is offering a tour of its new exhibition, OBSERVATOIRES. Carte blanche to John Armleder
Guided tour with Elodie Sierro, art historian
For its 6th Carte blanche, the MAH invites John M. Armleder (Geneva, 1948), an internationally renowned artist. With a collection of over 500 of his works, the museum has found in him the ideal curator to pursue a unique dialogue between heritage and contemporary creation.
Thus was born Observatories, a thematic journey where each room explores a different universe—from animals to abstract painting, from musical instruments to lighting fixtures. By juxtaposing the MAH’s monumental architecture with its vast collection, Armleder creates a unique installation in which each object fits together in a way that is as surprising as it is coherent.
Supported by ephemeral structures and layers of superimposition, the ordinary object and the aesthetic object weave a dialogue that constantly generates new possibilities; an invitation to wander so that everyone can compose their own repertoire of ideas and associations.
Saturday May 9 at 4 pm.
