“To study men, we must look close by; to study man, we must learn to look afar; if we are to discover essential characteristics, we must first observe differences.”
Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Essay on the Origin of Languages (1781), chap. VIII.
Gowen gladly invites you to discover around ten Swiss and international artists, mostly born in the 1980s and 90s, who have either been invited by the gallery, or with whom it has recently started collaborating.
A multitude of universes and languages thrive through which the artists tell stories, conveying the viewer to unreal, ambiguous and dreamlike environments, both near and far. 'Next' is equally a term to express the idea of a passage, of a change, it means 'which comes after', 'the following' and also something 'which is near'. The exhibition leads us on an exploration of new dialogues and narratives in which past, present and future coalesce into a flow that comes and goes between fragments of memory and parallel temporal realities.
Works on loan from private collections are included.
Group show including works by Moufouli Bello, Agostino Iacurci, Tami Ichino, Sylvie Lambert, Sébastien Mettraux, Sofia Yeganeh.
