LA Becque at Artgenève 2022
02-06.03.2022
The 2022 edition of art fair artgenève took place from March 2 to 6, 2022. La Becque was honored to be an institutional guest at the fair for the first time, and our booth presented the work of our former residents Elise Rasmussen (2019), Florence Peake (2020), and Ignacio Acosta (2020). Through painting and film, the works all three artists drew from their residency are intensely connected to La Becque and its surroundings, and as such provide a beautiful introduction to what drives us.
One of the great moments of this fair was the music program, artgenève / musique, directed by Augustin Maurs and co-curated by Catherine Othenin-Girard, and taking place at Geneva’s Grand Théâtre. This year, the Geneva-based percussion ensemble Eklekto, directed by our Principal Residency Program juror Alexandre Babel, performed pieces by Ryoji Ikeda and by Félicia Atkinson. The latter’s “Ghost Ranch”, premiered in December 2021, draws from a composer’s residency that was one of the many happy outcomes of Félicia’s 2020 residency at La Becque.
