FURTHER AFIELD
Set in the prestigious ski resort of Gstaad, this boutique winter salon brings together a curated selection of leading international galleries and creators across modern and contemporary art, historical masterpieces, collectible design, and high jewelry.
For its third edition, the salon will return to the Festival-Zelt, right in the center of the village. Its scale allows for a focused presentation and meaningful encounters between exhibitors, collectors, and visitors.
This exhibition pays tribute to Clifford Possum Tjapaltjarri, a seminal figure of Australian Aboriginal art and a pioneer of the Western Desert painting movement. Drawing on Dreaming stories and the ancestral landscapes of his Anmatyerre heritage, Possum translated traditional sand and body painting motifs into monumental canvases that intertwine myth, geography and memory. His richly patterned, large-scale works balance Indigenous cosmology with a striking sense of modern abstraction, affirming his lasting influence on global contemporary art.
Opening during the Nuit des Bains, Thursday 22 January, from 18:00.
Glazed Realities is a group exhibition curated by Vasilis Zografos that examines contemporary ceramic practices as instruments of storytelling, experimentation and transformation. Featuring works by Nacoca Ko, Fernando de la Rocque, Jan Steenman, Heberth Sobral and Irene Venetsanou, the show foregrounds ceramic surfaces as carriers of memory, social narrative and perceptual ambiguity. Through glazing, texture and material manipulation the artists deploy sculpture and object-based installations to probe materiality, luminosity, fragility and the interplay between form and human experience.
Opening during La Nuit des Bains, Thursday 22 January, from 18:00.
