19.2. – 20.12. 2026
At Studiolo
Kunsthaus Biel / Centre d’art Bienne (KBCB)

Opening 19.2. 19.00

In the shady alleyway behind the Kunsthaus Biel, moss covers the damp stones. The sun barely manages to reach a patch on the wall of the Espace Libre. A small green dot moves across this warm, fuzzy spot. An ant is carrying a piece of a leaf. A little above it, another one – no, two, three, a whole trail of ants can be seen. And a little below that, another dot, slightly larger and yellow and black striped. A snail carries its shell in the same direction, along the wall up to the passage connecting the two buildings. And there; a lizard, a grasshopper and a spider. They too are on their way up to the open window, where a blackbird is already sitting and the trail of ants disappears into the twilight of the interior. Strange noises come from there, a murmur, a harple and a whissling.

 

The Studiolo is an experimental space at the KBCB that is made available to invited artists for a whole year . The Studiolo is accessible during opening hours and events are held there regularly. In 2026, the Studiolo will be run by the exhibition and residency project La Dépendance from Saint-Imier, directed by Jan van Oordt.
