Location

Exhibition
The exhibition features more than 40 works of art surrounding a silver birch symbolizing the new beginning of spring. Just like the silver birch, which marks the beginning of something, the frontofbicycle Gallery is also starting again, namely in its fifth year, in which it is allowed to celebrate its 14th pop-up exhibition. And continues to make new collaborations and friendships, make new experiences and present new collections of artworks.
The exhibitions of frontofbicycle are both warm and inviting. Whether you’re looking to buy art or would just like to learn more about it, this gallery exhibition allows you to do just that. Set in a relaxed, inclusive atmosphere, talks will be held within the multicultural community that frontofbicycle has accompanied since the beginning. In addition, the artists are on site and are happy to answer guests' questions with a gin & tonic and to reveal the ideas behind the works shown.
What to expect?
For the majority of artists, the use of color is important and often explosive. Therefore, anyone looking for an alternative to the gray of winter this spring should not miss this exhibition. Among other things, Kate Bauen shows her structured, abstract works, which are highly recognizable and in great demand because she only produces two of them per year. Equally colorful is Patrick Charmillot's series of rhythmic images depicting balance and harmony. On a different note, frontofbicycle is very pleased to welcome the popular Italian ceramics artist Monica Vaccari, whose pieces have been exhibited around Europe with a number having sold in Basel. On the occasion of the vernissage, Greek photographer Sofia Georgakopoulou will also show how she succeeds in capturing images in which the obvious is changed by the influence of a special mood.
Exhibiting Artist
In total frontofbicycle presents the works of the following 14 exceptional contemporary artists from around the world: Kate Bauen - Scotland, Miki Buckland - Japan, Patrick Charmillot - Switzerland, Natalie Corman - Canada, David Drain - Scotland, Bettina Egli Sennhauser - Switzerland, Dana Gasser - Germany, Sofia Georgakopoulou - Greece, Irene Gordon - Scotland, Insa Hoffmann - Germany, Janet Jaffke - USA, Antonie Josefa Latscha - Czech Republic, Gudrun Sallaberger Plakolb - Austria and Monica Vaccari - Italy.

This exhibition is organized by Nicolette Youdim, Gudrun Sallaberger-Plakolb, Bettina Egli Sennhauser and Andreas Sallaberger.

And none of these exhibitions is ever identical to those before.
