Film Implosion!
Experiments in Swiss Cinema and Moving Images

Film Implosion!

21 November 2015 – 21 February 2016
Fri Art Kunsthalle, Petites-Rames 22, CH-1701 Fribourg, Swizerland

Film Implosion! Experiments in Swiss Cinema and Moving Images, curated by François Bovier and Balthazar Lovay, includes work by Robert Beavers and Gregory J. Markopoulos in an exhibition surveying the ‘fragmented history’ of Swiss film and video art over a 50-year period.

“As the first exhibition dedicated to experimental Swiss cinema, Film Implosion! sheds light on a little known aspect of art history in Switzerland. It presents a wide panorama of genre practices within the medium of cinema more specifically, but also video work, from the 1960s to today. Through formal interventions directly on the celluloid, various in-situ installations, unconventional documentaries, political, feminist, animated, and fiction films, all these artists challenged the traditional codes of cinema.”
