Fall Opening / Christopher Varady-Szabo + Shanie Tomassini

Fonderie Darling is launching its fall program with a festive evening and opening the exhibitions Après la pluie, la boue by Christopher Varady-Szabo and Solar Lamentation by Shanie Tomassini.

In the Main Hall, Christopher Varady-Szabo presents Après la pluie, la boue, a monumental installation where wood, earth, branches, water, and straw intermingle, inspired by the pioneers of earthen architecture, highlighting the hybridity of forms, the precariousness of our ecosystems, and the poetry of living matter in constant transformation.

Presented in the Small Gallery, Shanie Tomassini’s exhibition Solar Lamentation immerses the audience in a world suspended between myth and matter, where her sculptures and installations—crafted from ever-changing materials and inspired by the cycles of the sun—bring to life a personal mythology populated by mystical beings, celebrating the alchemy of time and the cycles of life.
