POGO NEL BRODO: Rebecca Solari
In POGO NEL BRODO, Biel-based Ticino-born artist Rebecca Solari drops a moshpit in a soup-pot. In the in-situ installation at KRONE COURONNE, the figurative broth simmers, neutrality burns to bitterness; silence crusts to salt. Body, class, nationhood—all boiled, spat, and steamed under pressure. Rebecca Solari’s practice explores identity through the prism of self-staging, gender, and roles – with a deliberate delight in breaking and mixing codes, often culminating in an explosive, anti-heroic spectacle.

SOMA8: LABOUR (Farahnaz Hatam and Colin Hacklander)
LABOUR’s contribution to SOMA – “heteronomy is the condition of all things” – explores processes of sonic definition and memory through evolving alternations of electronic material. A self-synthesized “siren” sound forms the core, undergoing numerous transformations within the synthesis instrument New Pulsar Generator. Expanding into a wider listening journey, the work continues LABOUR’s investigation into how external forces shape our sense of self. LABOUR is the collaborative project of Farahnaz Hatam and Colin Hacklander, whose works centre on the transformative potential of sound.

FOYER
Madison Bycroft
Madison Bycroft blends the queer, the opaque and the divine, exploring the different forms of reading and writing, expression and refusal. The artist asks how “sense” is framed by historical contexts, biases and power structures, and navigates it through the mechanisms of subjectivity and language.
