DISAPPEAR HERE

Built around 1860, Villa dei Cedri recounts three centuries of history, from a preindustrial society to a globalised world. In the exhibition “Disappear Here”, 16 artists question from their contemporary perspective the values to which the former residence bears witness. Through visions of decadence and critiques of a bygone way of life, the sequence of paintings, drawings, sculptures, photographs, video works and installations, highlights the concerns of a generation marked by decline, but also by a strength derived from struggle and hope.

Exhibition curated by Rolando Bassetti, Director of the Centre d’art contemporain Yverdon-les-Bains.
