The gallery shows on the one hand emerging ardsts, where their support and promodon is an essendal goal, and on the other, ardsts who already have established on the internadonal scene. Thus, one of the aspects of the program is to confront works by young ardsts with those of established names, ranging from paindng, drawing, installadon to photography. Besides this, the gallery intends to regularly invite prominent ardsts from abroad and give them the opportunity to have a solo show, most ogen for the first dme in Switzerland.Clarina Bezzola (*1970, in Zurich, lives and works in New York, USA) studied at Parsons School ofDesign, New York, undl 1995.
