The exhibition feeling the void and the rhone and by internationally renowned and New York-based Swiss artist Ugo Rondinone consists of, on the one hand, a floor surface covered with orange-red gravel titled feeling the void (gravel, paint, 41.3 x 41.3 cm, 2012) on display in the basement, and, on the other hand, a blue glass horse titled the rhone (glass, 17 x 26 x 6 cm, 2017) on the transparent upper floor of the museum. Be sure to visit the exhibition at Quai de l’Indépendance in Cully. It not only holds challenging, perceptual-poetic questions for the viewer, but is especially a touching visual experience.
