The exhibition is curated by Sarah Zürcher
Fri-Art presents two exhibitions respectively entitled Emotional Landscapes and Retracing Territories. Both highlight not only territory as an issue, but also history, via remote and close perspectives on Iran, Africa, the USA and Switzerland.
The Emotional Landscapes competition was designed by Fri-Art and the Forum for Architecture as part of Fribourg’s 850th anniversary celebrations. The organizers asked artists and architects to contribute to this adventure by submitting projects on the growth and becoming of Fribourg and its urbanity, focusing on geographic, social or economic aspects. Projects that are firmly anchored in the territory of Fribourg, but also foster human relationships in an urban context were particularly well received. Sharing, based on cultural exchange and “togetherness” or “living together”, was seen as essential in this competitive show, which aims to project a forward-looking vision of the town.
Retracing Territories presents several projects which interrogate Western and Islamic civilisations at political, moral and cultural level through the prism of imperialism, and the barbaric traits it deployed over past centuries. Combining text and image, the works here play a determining role linking politics, religious aspects and culture.
