During the exhibition: presentation at the Centre of the film Images du monde visionnaire of Henri Michaux, directed by Eric Duvivier (1963).
The June 14, 1989 in the evening: Concert of New Quartet of Geneva, 5th quartet of Giacinto Scelsi dedicated to Henri Michaux and the works of H. Villa Lobos and Anton Webern

Today, it seems important to report by texts of the will of producing and experimenting of Michaux, always with the same honesty facing the sign in movement and the abstract sign, as well as its points of cinematographic view, given to see, in their profusion, like a picture book.

Photographs from 1984 to 1989.

The landscapes of Andreas Gursky are soccer fields, swimming pools, mountains, artificial lakes, play areas, intermediate areas between town and country, the Sunday walks. Man is at the center of these photographs, although the landscape is omnipresent.

The Centre genevois de gravure contemporaine, in 1985, had exposed several works of young Genevan artists from the School of Visual Arts in Geneva. Without being in the hunt for young talents, the Centre would like to show that etching is still a field of investigation for new formal and conceptual preoccupation. Shigeru Mori, was born in Japan in 1952, student of the engraving workshop of the School of Visual Arts in Geneva since 1985, he works with a traditional technique, particularly spectacular – black aquatint – he uses in a “modern” perspective with reports of abstract and minimal forms.
