DESSIN
«Ich würde gerne daran glauben, dass Kunst die Welt verändern kann.»
– Pippilotti Rist
Drawing is often held in low regard. It is sometimes thought of as painting’s less important little sister, or as its preliminary stage in the form of a sketch. The project “DESSIN – Drawings in Central Switzerland”, held at 16 art institutions, including Galerie Vitrine, shows how misleading these prejudices are. Here, at Galerie Vitrine, it’s starting on 26 November. We will be presenting 150 works, drawn by 85 women from Central Switzerland. They will be present at the opening event. As if that were not enough: Claudia Bucher will be providing performance art, the Cochlea Duo, Chelsea Czuchra and Lindsay Buffington, will be making music and the Band Rebots from Lucerne will be giving a concert. So there will be art aplenty. And who knows? Perhaps, for a brief moment, Pipilotti Rist’s hope that art can change the world will come true.
