PROJECT SPACE: Alfredo Aceto – Refaire le Portrait, Acte #1
At the Project Space on the fourth floor of the Institution, artist in residence Alfredo Aceto will show some of the art works he will realize during the residency. For his exhibition and his residence at the Centre, Alfredo Aceto will specially readapt his “clocks” series. In the this series, the artist reactivated an anecdote of Walter Benjamin, holding that during the French Revolution, revolutionaries would shoot at clocks in Paris in order to break the continuum of History.
Alfredo Aceto was born in 1991 in Turin. He graduated in 2013 from the Ecole Cantonale d‘art de Lausanne (ECAL), and will be the first of the three 2015 artists-in-residence at the Centre d’Art Contemporain Genève. He will be followed by Maya Rochat (1984, CH) and Julie Sas (1991, FR) later in the year.
