New Heads 2020 : Giulia Essyad, A Selene Blues

December 2020 to February 2021

A Selene Blues is the first solo exhibition of Giulia Essyad (*1992, Geneva) in an institution. On this occasion, the artist transforms the first floor of Fri Art into an environment dedicated to the universe of a heroic fantasy saga of which she is the author, actress and director. In an abandoned museum of cinema or at the premiere of a film that does not exist, advertising sets, merchandising and relics break down the barriers between entertainment, ecofeminist science fiction and institutional criticism.

The exhibition of Giulia Essyad, winner of New Heads 2020, is organized together with HEAD – Genève, Haute école d’art et de design.
 

Following the decision of the Federal Council, Fri Art Kunsthalle remains closed until further notice.
