A game of correspondences, crossings and interactions. Dedicated to the obvious links between art and design, "Intersections" is an exhibition that invites us to reinvent the aesthetics of our environment, at the crossroads of two distinct universes that have in common a passion for contemporary creation.
The "Intersections" exhibition is a proposal where the influences of two personalities from the French-speaking part of Switzerland with a passion for art meet:
Willem Speerstra, gallery owner and collector, a leading figure in the post-graffiti artistic movement that he has been defending for over thirty years.
Hérard, editor and collector, a key player in the Swiss design collection, which he has helped to define and establish by supporting emerging artists with his Mobilab Gallery.

Dedicated to the obvious links between art and design, "Intersections" is an exhibition that invites us to reinvent the aesthetics of our environment, at the crossroads of two distinct universes that have in common a passion for contemporary creation. The works of each artist, selected by Speerstra Gallery and Mobilab Gallery, are unique or in numbered edition. The installation proposes a dialogue of counter-intuitive combinations that allow us to enter straight into a conceptual space, where a harmonious feeling of balance and evidence reigns.

Stimulated by inspirations, materials and techniques, bridges emerge, as if born from a common matrix, inscribing themselves in the same contemporary moment.
"Intersections" presents eight artists from the Swiss scene and four artists from the European scene:
