SNOW DANCING IM KALTEN POLAR
4.2.–2.4.2023
KRONE COURONNE, lieu secret, Lokal-int au

«Snow Dancing» is the name of an early-90s exhibition and book by artist Philippe Parreno. «… im kalten Polar» is a reference to the song «Eisbär» by the legendary Bernese band Grauzone. Under this enigmatic title, three art spaces from the Bieler scene have been given a carte blanche to conceive a project within the building’s grandiose Salle Poma.

Rather than inviting artists and presenting works as we usually do in our respective spaces, we elaborated 8 gestures that point to the differences between us (the off-spaces) and the institution (the Kunsthaus). Hence, we infiltrated Kunsthaus Pasquart with what defines us - free entry, creation of a social circle through events, a reduced space size, conviviality and spontaneity, free drinks, the absence of hierarchy, participation, humour, and open discussions.
