Saisons : Episode 1 - Boutons
With Pascale Bonin Nunlist, Joséphine de Weck, Romaine Wuilleret

We’re delighted to announce our new event series Saisons:

Saisons is a series of offsite events organized by the Kunsthalle Friart Fribourg. It is conceived as an invitation to audiences, artists, and cultural actors who contribute to the art scene in Fribourg from both near and far. Each episode follows a meteorological cycle (a season) and a specific artistic medium. Developed each time within and for a unique site in Fribourg, Saisons aims to create a space for temporary communities arising from the interactions between the people present, the artworks, and the space.

Episode 1: Boutons

The first episode is taking place at WallStreet, an independent art space in Fribourg, and is dedicated to the medium of both sound and language. Two readings will be presented, followed by an ambient listening session.

Pascale Bonin Nunlist has been pursuing a writing practice for many years, but has only recently begun to share her work in public and through radio formats. For Saisons, she invites the audience to follow narrative loops and imaginary wanderings, to listen to fragments which want to be heard, and to let itself be carried along by the flow of her thoughts.

Joséphine de Weck is an author, actress, and creator of stage projects. Recently, she has published the novel La petite lutte with Éditions La Veilleuse. For Saisons, she presents a text collage drawn from her collection of 1,233 quotes. A unique text form emerges from this montage, making the words of others to superimpose with her own.

Romaine Wuilleret is part of the Fribourg-based transition radio. As a DJ and under the name of e-skola, she creates sound scapes which fuse acoustic and electronic vibrations, evoking both enchanted worlds and tender nostalgia.

WallStreet is an independent art space based in Fribourg. Founded by Lauris Paulus and Nicolas Brulhart in 2013 under the name Wallriss, WallStreet is directed by Margaux Huber, Nicolas Horvath, and Léa Depestel today. Conceived as a laboratory for research, experimentation, and creation, WallStreet has committed itself to supporting emerging artists in the fields of visual arts, audiovisual media, and performance, following a non-hierarchical approach based on collaboration.

A bar will be open and drinks will be served throughout the evening.
