This exhibition is part of the series FRISCH Visarte.
Starting the new year strong! With a selection of works on paper, and a live-drawing session, I gathered in Madrid some of my favorite people among colors, lines, and food. In the kitchen, literally.
The showroom of Kitchen for Life generously hosted my open studio. The colorful stories of the series “Liquid Moments”, “Periscope”, and “Body Parts” were boldly fitting the themes of nutritious art and social togetherness.
Visarte Zurich is once again organizing a major exhibition at the Photobastei at the end of the year. Entitled "Insights 2023: Visarte Zürich & Friends", the exhibition brings together over 200 artists and works that provide an insight into Zurich's diverse art scene. It is curated by Nicolas Bischof, Tanja Breu, Clare Goodwin, Lorenzo E. Metzler, Sandi Paucic, Len Schaller.
I participate with a ceramic sculpture from the project-in-progress “Unsere Zeit” (Our Time).
The exhibition is part of the tradition of annual exhibitions that Visarte Zurich has initiated and successfully organized for several years. The exhibition brings a presentation of works by Visarte Zürich members, and additional guests, exhibition spaces and individual positions who have been invited to present their own curatorial program.
I am participating with a ceramic work from the series Tongues in this exhibition celebrating works and artists from Zurich.
Organized by artist duo Huber Huber.
Between 7.07.2023 and 21.08.2023 an available selection drawings from the ritualistic series “Periscope” are on view in a dedicated page: Little Absurdities collection.
“Little Absurdities” is based on the myriad of tiny details always present in the drawings of the series. Dreamy characters, absurd objects, body parts, and omnipresent cultural symbols are some of the stories inside each of these universes depicted on paper.
All drawings of the collection “Little Absurdities” are available for purchase at a special price.
Curated by 6-1/2.

About BANG BANG (source: Museum Tinguely) :
All summer long, Museum Tinguely will be celebrating performance art in the show BANG BANG - translocal hi:stories of performance art. At the heart of this process-oriented exhibition is the Swiss performance scene, its players, and its networks, although the programme will be international in character.

Once the exhibition closed, and the series of performative exchanges “What is Our Dream?” therefore finished, something had to be done to release the 76 dreams that had been shared, invented and produced during those 17 performance sessions.
Upon conversations with some of the “dreamers”, as well as with curator and museum director Simon Maurer, we made a ritual of release in three acts letting them go into the air, water and fire.
Group exhibition IN TRANSITION
September 5-29, 2020
Curated and organized by 6 1/2 in cooperation with Oxyd, Lokal 14 and us. – previously TART Zürich.
AVA presents the site-specific work Haus der Geschichten (Haus of Stories).
House of Stories invites to remember some of the stories that happened in the old factory building while it was still active. The installation shows 192 cards with the 192 names of the employees who worked in the factory at the time of the closure of the spinning mill in 2014. The artist sent each of the 147 ex-workers still living in Switzerland a personal letter asking them to send back a story about their time in the factory. Each received memory is then interpreted as a drawing.
Some of the drawn stories will be realized as a live performance during the exhibition. Performance drawing days: 5.09 (opening), 12 and 19.09, between 14-18h.
A selection of #Periscope daily drawing series is to be seen in the walls of beautiful Alpen Lofts in Sent during the winter season 2020.

"New languages, environments, cultures, ways of socializing... I have taken my body and my head to new routines over the years, in an almost schizophrenic search for, or escape from, an identity that I cannot identify. Born and raised in Madrid, I have lived in New York, Amsterdam, Barcelona, London, Shanghai, Brussels... and now in Zurich. I can't discern if I belong here or there, if I'm returning or leaving, every time I come to Madrid, or each time I return to Zurich."
In El Cuerpo de Nuestro Tiempo the artist Alicia Velázquez (Madrid, 1969) proposes to temporarily inhabit the space in which series of ritualistic works establish a dialogue with and through time. Quotidian, intimate and also unknown presences, mirrors of a foreign identity that poses questions while searching for her own.
“Nuevos idiomas, entornos, culturas, maneras de socializar… He llevado mi cuerpo y mi cabeza a nuevas rutinas a lo largo de los años, en una - casi esquizofrénica - búsqueda, o escapada, de una identidad que no consigo identificar. Nacida y crecida en Madrid, he vivido en Nueva York, Ámsterdam, Barcelona, Londres, Shanghai, Bruselas… y ahora en Zúrich. No llego a discernir si pertenezco aquí o allá, si estoy de vuelta o yéndome, cada vez que vengo a Madrid, o cada vez que regreso a Zúrich.”
En El Cuerpo de Nuestro Tiempo la artista Alicia Velázquez (Madrid, 1969) propone habitar temporalmente el espacio en el que series de trabajos ritualísticos establecen un diálogo con y a través del tiempo. Presencias cotidianas, íntimas y también desconocidas, espejos de una identidad ajena que lanza preguntas mientras se busca a sí misma.
Sips of hope, of desire, of imprecision, of imagination, of looseness, of invention, of history, of context.
Liquid Moments, a large selection of paintings made with watercolor + drinkable fluids - coffee, rum, tea, milk…) will be on display in the space NuBel by Zacapa in ARCO Madrid, opening Wednesday 27.02 till Sunday 3.03 (public entry days 1,2,3).
Gastronomy space NuBel by Zacapa is a design by Paula Rosales, estudio more&co, located in Pavilion 9 of the art fair. Looking forward to seeing you there.
Celebrating the end of this year and 6 months of daily coffee-watercolor paintings, The Coffee Machine, with a seleciton of 60 favorite paintings. They can make great Christmas or personal gifts!
