Vertigo | Julian Charrière and Katie Paterson
Galleri Tschudi, Zuoz, Switzerland, 18 December 2021 – 26 March 2022 


“To have the work of Katie Paterson and Julian Charrière in the same space is a festival for the senses and imagination. Their work expands our minds and brings our thoughts into the most extreme dimensions. They work on the scale of geology, eternity, using elements from ancient fossils to radioactive measurements to astronomical observations.” Andri Snær Magnason

“Katie Paterson and Julian Charrière are currently exhibiting in parallel. In both of their oeuvres, human existence itself is not shown, but is instead resituated in its cosmic or geological position, represented in the general context of the biomass. And both, in their respective works, implement temporalities of great amplitude. Their works could thus belong to a neo-metaphysical movement in contemporary art, which will undoubtedly remain associated with the beginning of the twenty-first century in future accounts of the history of art. Because the essential question for the artists of our time is the meaning of their work in a world in danger.” Nicolas Bourriaud
