The hidden Werkstatt: Allegra! Inner and outer landscapes

Sometimes I’ll see a light in my side vision and find myself looking for its source. Sometimes it's the first signs of a migraine. Sometimes a stray reflection off the lens of my glasses, a gleam from a mirror in a darkened room, but the ghosts remain only a glance away. Rather beautiful ghosts.

Allegra!

Set in a local ceramics workshop, for an intimate audience of alpine sports enthusiasts and friends-of-friends wandering by, 'Allegra!' explores inner and outer landscapes, with objects by Sylvie Auvray, Sylvie Fleury, Fumiko Imano, Max Lamb, Caro Niederer, Pierre Paulin and Aiko Watanabe.

The imaginative curation by Salon 94 and Fabienne Stephan runs now and until January 9, 2022. In the meantime, the artists involved react to a list of words proposed by Novembre.
