Come by Swiss Institute to explore our latest exhibitions: Ozoned Station by Guillaume Dénervaud, Humble and quiet and soothing as mud by Ali Cherri, and Spora. These exhibitions showcase artwork and architectural interventions that explore fantastical futures born from organic matter, memories latent in mud, and our roles as individuals, communities and institutions in our environments.
Join us at 3PM for a special hands-on art workshop designed for adults. Inspired by Spora, Ozoned Station, an exhibition by Guillaume Dénervaud, and the Swiss Institute building, visitors can explore ideas of sustainable architecture and design. With an artist, participants will create their own structures of the future that utilize the unique abilities of local plants and animals in their construction. Please note that this workshop has limited space.
