Currently in residency at the Darling Foundry, the artist duo Flurina Badeland Jérémie Sarbach (Swiss Residency) and Puerto Rican curator Marina Reyes Franco (Residency of the Americas) invite you to come discover their projects and researches through a public presentation and studio visit.
Flurina Badel and Jérémie Sarbach
The artist duo Flurina Badel and Jérémie Sarbach work with different media around two central issues: one is on landscape, mountains and the concepts of origin, and the other is on technology, communication and the interface of the analogue and digital world. Therefore, they conceive long-term projects that develop organically in places best fitted for the work.
Flurina Badel and Jérémie Sarbach have been working together since 2014. In 2015, Flurina received her Master's degree in Fine Arts and Jérémie his Bachelor's degree in Fine Arts at the Institut Kunst HGK FHNW Basel. Sarbach was previously trained as a woodcarver and Badel as a professional filmmaker
The previous academic and curatorial researches of Marina Reyes Franco have been into the work of concrete poet Esteban Valdés, the alternative circulation strategies of graphic art, post-colonial theory, feminism, museum studies, autonomous art projects, and artistic and literary manifestations in the frontier of political action that spill over into popular culture. Reyes Franco is an art historian and independent curator. She received a BA in Art History from the University of Puerto Rico and an MA in Argentine and Latin American Art History from IDAES-UNSAM, Argentina.
