A Bit of School, A Bit of Snow, And It Derails... claims that art is more than just another subject taught at school. The exhibition deliberately breaks with spatial balance, avoiding a central theme or linear path. With no clear beginning or end, it invites movement, wandering, and uncertain navigation. Unlike immersive formats, the layout creates an unstable space — one that encourages reflection.
Through a selection of diverse works and approaches — from artists of different generations, ECAL graduates, Swiss and international — the exhibition offers landmarks within a timeless process. These artistic positions spark doubt, raise questions, and create disorientation. Our stance? Affirming negation. Can one say “I love art” or “I hate art” — especially as an artist? And within the very context of an art school?
Coincidence??? Fate!!!
We’ll let you decide.
