Starting in the 1960s, a decade when the politicalization of a part of the art world went up against the institutional art authorities, many demands were put forward regarding the status and working conditions of artists. From the first contract including a clause protecting artists’ resale rights conceptualized by Seth Siegelaub with the help of Bob Projansky to the more recent campaigns…

For Videobox, Rosa Brux chose to invite the artist Laurent Güdel to present his film Action directe, discours indirect, first screened in 2019 at the LUFF (Lausanne Underground Film & Music Festival). This movie, where we hear people talking but never see them, is based on recorded interviews with veteran trade unionists active in Geneva during the 1920s and ’30s.

To confront the segregation perpetrated and perpetuated in the 1980s by American cultural authorities, the collective Group Material chose to temporarily convert the exhibition format into another cognitive model. Notably through a timeline, their exhibitions, both complex and inclusive, brought together a variety of styles, ethnic groups, genders or sexual orientations, attempting to break down…

The group show Almagestes brings together artists, designers, theoreticians, and art critics who were invited to exhibit a list of works from their personal library. While avoiding the possible pitfall of anthologies made up of favorite books, each of the lists explores various forms of declaration and utterance, running from the obvious gesture to the monomaniacal collection, not to mention…

“Sugar, like the end of the world was waiting for us over by the fireside. Mornings I’m more of a coffee person. It wouldn’t change nothing, you know, if there’s liquid, I go all weak in the knees…” Rosa Brux, Rue de l’Autonomie 9, 1070 Bruxelles.

Opening of the show at Le Commun. Le Commun, Rue des Bains 28, 1205 Genève.

Katrin Gattinger has carried out a number of actions, including working the area where the fields of drawing and performance meet. One has to do with the spatialization of a form and the other with granting that spatialization its capacity to be an event, and in this their meeting point becomes the point of political commitment by way of the graphic gesture. At Rosa Brux Gattinger is showing a…

Here it’s a question of survival. At the foot of the wall of determinisms of an American society that was its dream ever more aggressively, a wave of artists unfurled and broke with unprecedented energy. Between superhuman verbosity, raw demands, resigned resilience, and reappropriation of the myth of the self-made man, American rappers have shot up in recent decades as a multitude of independent…

Greatest Hits is the name of Price’s debut pop album and performance concert (2015). This work deals with the nostalgic feelings sparked by existing lyrics and melodies embodied in the mechanisms of mainstream pop while attempting to explore the potential of musical and performative formats. The forms of his work are mutating as they appear in exhibition spaces, galleries and clubs, and are…

The feeling of deception appears like a form of nostalgia for reality. Literature is full of examples, from the genre known as uchronia to the science fiction that predicts the future. Maxime Bondu (Tournan-en-Brie/F, *1985) examines the forms and themes of our relationship to history and our projection into the future, both of these as mediators of the contemporary age, more than the opposite…

Protection Room is an exhibition wherein five artists will inhabit « Rosa Brux », which originally functioned as a flat. Protection Room explores nuances of transparency and opacity and the thin line between the private and the public – questioning if this line still exists. During a week five artists respond to different aspects and tactics of ‘hiding’ and ‘covering over’ (« protection ») –…

Une exposition (An Exhibition) is a group exhibition of exhibitions of images exhibiting their condition of being images even though they could be archetypes of artworks. In other words, the exhibition is the image of the image that is projected of a work of art being but an image, an exhibition (hi)story. That is, there is in the projected images of the exhibition a story/history of artworks…

Paul Hendrikse’s The Particular Unity of the Same and Other (an Amplitude) at Rosa Brux is the Swiss iteration of the eponymous exhibition currently running at Heden in The Hague, Netherlands. Both shows take shape around a recent trip Hendrikse made to Indonesia and reflect on the image that either precedes the foreigner, the outsider, or remains after they have left. The position of the…

From the book as an exhibition space to the form that escapes from books and takes over the space. The publisher Théophile’s Papers brings together at Rosa Brux the work of four artists published under the venue name for this show, which resonates like an unknown transcription on paper. Taking as their starting point the very core of their publications, Christian Aschman, Baptiste Caccia,…

At a time when the extent of sexual violence is finally coming to light, when the victims, often vulnerable and in pain, still struggle for their voices to be heard – amid a climate of loneliness, doubts, lack of self-esteem, shame and fear of speaking out – how should we respond? Just grin and bear it, as some of our grandmothers used to say? How can we help ourselves? What kind of support,…

Vi Indigaïa is a storyteller who transmits traditional narratives, creation myths and lived experiences. She combines this art with the art of dance, because the body has its own language. Her performence also includes singing and rhythmic chanting. Her poetic fantasies are political and her identities are multiple – woman, Black and queer. LIYH, Head - Genève, Bd James-Fazy 15, 1203 Genève.

If the history of art has long accustomed us to ridding ourselves of our expectations when it comes to exhibitions – the emblematic examples of the 1960s conceptual art scene immediately spring to mind – the art show as catalogue makes it possible to renew the genre in this instance. Taking van Leijsen’s attempt to put together a show that only exists as a publication literally, a “guided tour”…
