Fausta Squatriti and Delphine Coindet in Dialogue at Pasquart Bienne

The Kunsthaus Pasquart in Bienne (Biel), Switzerland, presents two solo exhibitions by Italian artist Fausta Squatriti (Milan, 1941) and French artist Delphine Coindet (Albertville, 1969), alongside a third installation where their works intersect. Curated by Marjolaine Lévy, Squatriti's 'Galaxie' surveys her six-decade career, from early pastels (Urformen, 1958–1964) evoking informal and galactic imagery, through 'La passeggiata di Buster Keaton' (1964–1966) referencing Tiepolo, to 'Sculture colorate' (1964–1974) and recent found-object compositions 'Corpi celesti vaganti' (2022–2023). Coindet's 'Autofriction', curated by Pasquart director Paul Bernard, embraces transience and unfinished forms, using ready-mades like painted tires that become columns, containers, or raw materials. The dialogue between the two artists reveals shared affinities in baroque vitality and formal reduction, despite their independent trajectories. The exhibitions run until November 19, 2023.
