Soucoupes volantes
The Swiss ceramics and glass museum [Ariana] presents an exhibition entitled Soucoupes volantes.
“Students from the Construction, Art and Space option of the HEAD - Geneva went to the former porcelain factory in Langenthal in the spring of 2018. They investigated the issues surrounding this now abandoned industrial site. Fascinated by history and by stories surrounding this factory, the students and their teachers shared their experiments in the form of artistic proposals that summoned, through the factory’s furniture and materials, the local anecdotes and atmosphere of this unique Swiss industrial heritage. This project led to an in situ exhibition in April 2018. It will be shown again in the Ariana Museum’s entrance hall a few months later, in October.” (HEAD - Geneva, 2018 ; translated by Tanguy Benoit)
