Wednesday 6 november | Frosted Workshop | ||||
The Givré collective invites you to make an upcycled utilitarian object using dormant materials from old exhibitions. Throughout the year, the Givré collective is inviting you to take part in the "Faire (avec)" exhibition and make an upcycled utilitarian object out of dormant materials from old exhibitions. Do you have a vintage ski suit, paraglider canvas, bicycle inner tube, haberdashery items or fabric lying dormant in your cupboards? Come and give them a second chance and swap one of these (soft) materials for an upcycled object. Freed from a consumerist logic, these workshops are an opportunity to think about a future built on the values of exchange, co-creation and sustainability. |

Sunday 10 November | RANA BEGUM : Verbier 3-D Foundation Sculpture Park | ||||
The Verbier 3-D Foundation presents new work by London-based artist Rana Begum, who was invited for a research-led residency to immerse herself in the local alpine community and explore the environmental theme of ENERGY. Inspired by materials, technologies and ecological know-how of the surrounding natural landscape, Begum’s new work encourages spectators to contemplate their relationship with the natural environment and the all-encompassing reality of the change that defines it. In two separate locations, visitors are invited to discover Begum’s work in residence and research in the environment that has inspired them, which promotes an immediate exchange between art and the landscape. In the sculpture park of Verbier’s Fondation 3-D, visitors will discover Rana Begum’s new sculpture, ‘No.1387 Fence’. The second location is a 5 km walk between the ski lift stations Croix-de-Coeur and Les Ruinettes. This exhibition presents panels and cabins that give an overview of the artist’s creative process that inspired the piece in the sculpture park. This visual journey presents personal photographs shot by the artist during her residence, intertwined with new colour studies that explore the energy, geometry and materiality that she encountered in Verbier and the surrounding valley. During her residence, Rana Begum was moved by the way in which the austere landscape transforms according to the seasons and changes in the weather. The location is exposed to extreme conditions that reveal the essential flow of nature, the mountains vanishing when the fog descends or changing colour when the snow falls or melts. The sudden presence of the sculpture, its interaction with the public and its ultimate absence reflect the temporality of its environment, appearing and disappearing without leaving a lasting impact. The power of this landscape invites us to become aware of our place within it, which led Begum and her collaborator Steve Webb to use ephemeral materials that absorb their dramatic backdrop instead of competing with it, emphasising its inherent change. The interplay of shadow and light on the fencing panels creates changing layers of colour that transform as the spectator finds their way through the sculpture, creating moments of density. |
