Solo exhibition

Espace Muraille, Geneva

19.09 - 14.12.2024

‘I was delighted when Nicolas invited me to design the 10th anniversary exhibition at Espace Muraille in Geneva - it seemed like an interesting opportunity to prepare an exhibition within a private collection. The brief for the presentation was entirely up to me - I could set the rules.

After a visit to the premises and lengthy discussions with Nicolas and Caroline, I proposed that we do the exhibition together... I would draw up a short list of my works and Caroline & Eric would do the same with works from their personal collection. But I needed something to help me control the process... an editor of sorts. The editor-in-chief turned out to be the space - the rooms in the Espace Muraille have no windows, or at least none that are really visible... this strange logic helped me to organise a shortlist of works - Caroline & Eric did the same.

I created a new series of paintings based on the windows in my studio - the view from inside. The rest seemed to fall into place without too much difficulty - mostly windows with a strangely shaped door. It's funny what you can find without even looking.’
