My bedroom floor is on fire
25.6.2022-2.7.2022
WallStreet, Freiburg/Fribourg, CH
Curated by Guillaume Baeriswyl, Margaux Huber, Remy Ugarte Vallejos, Angelina Yerly
For this year’s 39th edition of the Belluard Bollwerk festival in Fribourg, we are delighted to accompany the festival with the group exhibition “My bedroom floor is on fire” with the works of Christophe Lovasoa Kauffmann, Andrea Cindy Raemy, Philippa Schmitt and Anouk Yerly.
In “My bedroom floor is on fire” the presented sculptures, soundscapes and visual works are displayed over the two exhibition spaces as a parkour of discovery. While existing for themselves and holding their own histories and narratives, the presented works suggest in their second life playful investigations of coming of age stories. The ambiguous tension between being in a one’s comfort-zone and out jumping the unknown (or very well-known) dangers of a constructed reality forms the collective spirit of the show, referring to the children game “The floor is lava”. Whilst proposing singular artistic positions and streams of thought, the works of Christophe Lovasoa Kauffmann, Andrea Cindy Raemy, Philippa Schmitt, and Anouk Yerly eventually come together as an open cycle, vacillating between self reflections and imagined selves, conditioned identities and the breaking free from it, traditions and the exploration of possible transformations towards new imaginaries. The group show “My bedroom floor is on fire” finally reflects upon the strong relationship one develops with oneself and these implosive emotions that emerge in intimate and safe spaces, giving way to the creation of fantastic worlds and other possible realities in order to confront and challenge normative and toxic systems of a still dominantly capitalist and patriarchal reality.
Throughout the show, one might feel tempted to follow the white rabbit down the rabbit hole, to manipulate or modulate, to play and to get lost, to recall downtrodden emotions or escape into a meta world of imagery, to find your balance or to just run away, to transform and be transformed, to swing a rope or let it go, to sing along to “No Superstar” by Remady or to follow the choreography of a TikTok dance group, to step into the shoes of a video game character or to activate a giant glittery key ring that could have been extracted from a Y2K version of Alice in Wonderland.

_FR_ Immobilisme. Embourbés dans ce magma poisseux, cette sclérose collective, l’espérance et le courage s’effilochent, la frustration et l’aigreur se répandent. Des voix chuchotent déjà le douloureux « À quoi bon ? ». Les bras se baissent, les muscles se crispent ; ne restent que haine et désolation. En toute discrétion, pour ne pas perturber le dictat de la bienveillance et du tout sourire. Et pourquoi ne pas répondre à l’appel : se laisser submerger, envahir par ses sombres émotions si souvent réprimées ? Démembrer cette poupée en plastique au corps prétendu parfait, arracher les yeux de cet ourson en peluche, déverser sa bile, crier sa rage à s’en décoller les cordes vocales. S’abîmer au travers des écrans et des opiacés, céder à la tentation des paradis artificiels, se perdre, se recroqueviller dans les draps pour oublier, pour disparaître. Guidée par cette thématique, la sélection artistique de la Nef tente cette année de confronter les visiteuses et visiteurs à ces pulsions néfastes mais si humaines. Pas de beaux discours, ni de douces contemplations. La beauté demeure accessoire, l’horreur prime. De l’aversion à la noirceur, de la frayeur au chagrin. Joyeux Noël !
_DE_ Stillstand. Während Hoffnung und Mut in diesem klebrigen Magma, dieser kollektiven Sklerose stecken geblieben sind und zerfasern, breiten sich Frust und Verbitterung aus. Erste Stimmen flüstern bereits das schmerzhafte „Wozu?“. Der Mut sinkt, die Muskeln verkrampfen sich; was bleibt, sind Hass und Verzweiflung. Ganz diskret, um nicht gegen das Diktat des Wohlwollens und des immerwährenden Lächelns zu verstoßen. Und warum sollte man nicht der Aufforderung folgen: sich überwältigen, sich vereinnahmen lassen von seinen allzu oft unterdrückten, schwermütige Gefühlen? Die Plastikpuppe mit dem vermeintlich perfekten Körper zerstückeln, dem Teddybären die Augen ausreissen, Gift und Galle spucken, seine Wut hinausschreien, bis einem die Stimmbänder reissen. Sich durch Bildschirme und Opiate Schaden zufügen, sich der Versuchung der künstlichen Paradiese hingeben, sich verlieren, sich unter der Bettdecke vergraben, um zu vergessen, um zu verschwinden. Von diesem Thema geleitet versucht das la Nef in diesem Jahr mit seiner künstlerischen Auswahl die Besucher*innen mit diesen unheilvollen, und doch allzu menschlichen Trieben zu konfrontieren. Keine schönen Reden, keine lieblichen Gedankenspiele. Schönheit bleibt Nebensache, im Vordergrund steht das Entsetzen. Von Aversion bis Niedertracht, von Schrecken bis Leid. Frohe Weihnachten!

_DE_ Die Bezüge zur Natur wechseln zwischen Realismus und Fiktion, gelegentlich auch Magie oder schlicht Dekor hin und her. Lebensraum und Alltagsgegenstände bekommen eine unerwartete Bedeutung.

STITCHES : Scènes, corps, décors
17.6.2021 – 11.7.2021
Le Commun, Geneva, CH
Curated by Collectif détente: Gabrielle Boder, Tadeo Kohan, Camille Regli
Questioning the appeal of textile in contemporary art practices, as well as its subversive power, "Stitches: scènes, corps, décors", reflects on the close relationship that this material holds with the body and its spaces of representation. By contrast and affinity, the works form ties and create a temporary joint ‘community’ that nourishes a formal yet tactile and narrative dialogue between abstraction and figuration, ready-made and know-how, stages, bodies and decors. More than 35 artists from different generations, emerging and established, meet in a nodal exhibition linking intimacy and extimacy, constraint and liberation, emancipation and domestication.
