Things are happening here, too. One of them was the Museum Night last Friday/Saturday. Some friends and I went to see a few exhibits, one of them being a video by a client/friend of mine, Stefanie Klemm of
A kaleidoscope of interviews with young second-generation immigrant women tells of their current situation, their hopes and views. Fascinating! Hugely successful -- the little projection room at the City Archives was packed every half hour. I was delighted to see that Stefanie used an art installation of Eveline Feldmann, one of my great artist friends, to focus her views.
Sometimes life feels like beyond coincidence, because that same evening, ArtCanal (Kunstkanal) celebrated their 20th anniversary at 'Progr', Bern's progressive centre for art and culture in the heart of the city, formerly an upper secondary school or Progymnasium (hence the name 'Progr'). Eveline happened to be in town from New York City to put up one of her gorgeous installations. See also http://www.progr.ch -> Progr_amm -> Archiv

Our colleagues and friends at Hallerstrasse and of Halle 58, the architects, collected most of the ones used for this piece! Eveline painstakingly picked them apart and sewed them together again to create this sculptural, architectural piece.
