Art Bärtschi & Cie

General information

Present on the Geneva art scene since 1990, the Galerie Guy Bärtschi has, throughout the years, developed a unique and well defined exhibition program, confirming its particular focus on art from the 80's until today. In 2010, it celebrates his 20 years of activity with an exhibition with all the artists that participate on the development of this programme.

The gallery is located, since September 2010, in the La Praille district, a former industrial area which is undergoing a major redevelopment project. This district is destined to become a very dynamic area of economic, social and cultural activity and will provide a model of contemporary urban planning in the Geneva Canton. This redevelopment project allowed the creation of Quartier de l'Etoile, an association that brings together eleven art spaces in this industrial area which aims to promote art and culture in Geneva through a dynamic program of exhibitions and international events.

With an exhibition floor space of over 250m2, the gallery's mission is to promote the work of both, established and young artists, such as:

Marina Abarmovic, Cory Arcangel, Omar Ba, Per Barclay, Alighiero Boetti, Daniel Canogar, Wim Delvoye, Jan Fabre, Philippe Favier, Vidya Gastaldon, Nan Goldin, Fabrice Gygi, Myung-Ok Han, Kenneth Tin-Kin Huang, Paul Lee, Rafael Lozano-Hemmer, Jennifer & Kevin McCoy, Fabien Mérelle, Cornelia Parker, Giuseppe Penone, Javier Perez, Carmen Perrin, Antoine Roegiers, Georges Rousse, Samuel Rousseau, Not Vital.

The gallery also plans the exhibitions of artists like Jim Shaw, Santiago Sierra, Kelley Walker and Wade Guyton from which the gallery has collected some works over the years.
