FRONTROOM
A SEQUEL SEEPING NEARBY: Leolie Greet
Prix Anderfuhren 2024

In an installation combining videos, sculptures, and repurposed office elements, Leolie Greet interrogates a world in constant transformation — a world that seeps through its pores, mutates, and overflows. The artist proposes narratives for the living and the inanimate, revealing a fluid, animist reality where emotions and matter become one.
Since 1976, the Anderfuhren Foundation has been awarding emerging artists under the age of 40 from the Biel region. The Prix Anderfuhren comes with a prize of 15,000 CHF and is accompanied with a solo exhibition the following year. fondation-anderfuhren.ch/de

SOMA6: Soraya Lutangu Bonaventure

Soraya Lutangu Bonaventure is a performance, sound, and video maker whose practice materialises the fugitive points of friction between ecstasy and mourning, stillness and haunting. In addressing the degrees of legibility, the diasporic imaginary, and the complexities of representation, SLB builds expressive systems of repair that speculate on the poetic notions of singularity.
Conceived as a vibrating listening platform and fruit of curator Kristina Grigorjeva’s research, SOMA explores the emancipatory potential of sound and listening as a transformative social practice. SOMA invites to listen, linger, vibrate and hear collectively; from the somatic, interceptive to the social body.

ENTRE NOUS: Laura Veenemans
with works from the City of Biel collection

In “entre nous”, the artist Laura Veenemans enters into dialogue with works by Ise Schwartz from the City of Biel collection. While delving into the collection, Laura Veenemans came across the work of Ise Schwartz (*1942, lives and works in Biel/Bienne), inviting it into a conversation with her own practice — around image fragments, recurring patterns, and notions of in-betweenness.
