Crossings brings together Swiss artist Maria Ceppi and Japanese artist Tami Ichino in a poetic dialogue exploring memory, transformation, and the hidden resonance of everyday forms. Through sculpture, painting, and assemblage, the artists reinterpret familiar materials and natural elements into evocative compositions that move between abstraction and recognition. Blending intuition, symbolism, and material experimentation, the exhibition creates immersive spaces where personal narratives intersect with broader reflections on nature, coexistence, perception, and the shifting relationship between humanity and the world around us. Hosted by GOWEN Contemporary, Crossings invites viewers into a contemplative journey where objects, landscapes, and emotions continuously evolve across forms, meanings, and states of being.
Since 2012, singer Rosemary Standley and cellist Dom La Nena have collaborated in Birds on a Wire, reimagining songs from rock, Baroque and Brazilian repertoires. Staged by Étienne Saglio, the duo weaves delicate vocal lines and cello textures into spare, folk-baroque arrangements that highlight emotional fragility and elegiac intimacy. Their repertoire — from Tom Waits and Bob Dylan to Barbara and Jacques Brel — is transformed into a dreamy, restrained soundscape where silence and resonance shape a haunting, poetic journey.
