A contemporary art center housed in a 17th-century building, La Ferme de La Chapelle alongside Villa Bernasconi, is one of two art centers managed by the city of Lancy. With five exhibitions of contemporary art each year, accompanied by various events, its mission is to support and promote culture for all.
Artist Jessica Decorvet presents an immersive installation and scenography centered on a monumental curtain that choreographs a shifting landscape. Through sculpture, textile and spatial interventions, the work stages transformations of perception and material histories, exploring entanglements between nature, cultivation and human intervention. The exhibition evolves over time with the staged unveiling of Néophytes, inviting reflection on emergence, adaptation and the politics of presence within constructed environments.
Artist Jessica Decorvet investigates the landscape as an unstable concept where seeing implicates participation and representation transforms the world. The exhibition brings together drawings, textiles, ceramics and living plants to stage tensions between intense, almost vital wonder and cultural framing that distances the living.
Playing with scale from miniature objects to a monumental curtain, Decorvet unsettles assumptions: textiles become stained glass while ceramics verge on reliquary. The works evoke and question how perception and materiality shape our relation to place.
Opening: Tuesday 28 April, 18:00
