Artist Olaf Holzapfel and Bernard Vienat, director of art-werk, artistic director of the Biennale, and guest curator of the exhibition, will discuss the development and context of the work Schwarm. The conversation will be moderated by Julie Portier, director of Villa du Parc.

Produced for the Biennale and initially installed near Geneva’s Eaux-Vives railway station, the sculpture has been relocated to Villa du Parc, where it will remain on view over the coming months. The conversation will also explore Olaf Holzapfel’s broader practice and his engagement with natural materials, traditional craftsmanship, landscape, and the relationships between nature and architecture.
