The Olympic Museum
Centre Screen have recently completed the largest project we have ever undertaken. 96 people worked for 20 months to produce in excess of 60 different, dual-language exhibits for the newly renovated Olympic Museum in Lausanne, Switzerland.
With AV taking a central role in the visitor journey, the museum is a celebration of the Olympic spirit, brought to life through film, audio and multimedia. Working with Mather & Co, Metaphor and Paragon, Centre Screen’s part in designing the experience was paramount.
SONJA SCHENK : NEW MOUNTAIN
A new film by Eric Minh Swenson
The works in New Mountain explore the artist’s vision of the future landscape of Los Angeles. Positioned somewhere between dystopian and utopian, the exhibition centers on several large paintings (including the eponymous “New Mountain”) that feature white crystalline formations jutting out of pastel-hued gradients reminiscent of the smog-filtered sunsets of southern California. Often lacking a horizon line and cropped so that all identifying features of the landscape are obscured, “New Mountain” appears to depict, quite literally, the tip of an iceberg. But a closer look reveals that this is neither ice nor stone, at least not as we know it.
Schenk is “interested in figuring out how to paint time itself, to depict past, present, and future in a single painting.” Two diptychs most clearly evoke this desire. “Empire” consists of two uneven panels that appear to suggest both the distant past (the skeleton of a ship, perhaps of the Viking era) and the smoggy skies and unusual radiating lines of what might be the far-off future. It’s an interesting reminder that things that are old now may still exist in the future, older still, long after we are gone. Another diptych titled “Night for Day” hints at Hollywood and film. One panel features a sky-hued gradient and the other is a flat beige, but the focal object, a sort of mountain range made of polystyrene, spans across both panels, suggesting that it perhaps exists in two different times, at once.
The largest work, simply titled “The Mountain,” captures the landscape in the middle of explosive growth, with large white crags erupting out of what might be a “normal” granite mountain. Several smaller paintings and two sculptures round out the exhibition. Schenk explains, “These paintings and sculptures depict something akin to new landmasses or floating islands, something that might occur when the materials, diseases, and other hallmarks of the human race merge with organic elements of the earth to form new entities.” This hint of violence betrays the sublime superficiality and suggests a future world that is not quite natural, not quite serene, not quite inert.
Sonja Schenk is an LA-based multidisciplinary artist. She began with video installation work and has since turned to painting and sculpture. She was recently artist-in-residence at Cerritos College and also created a site-specific installation for the Joshua Treenial, a biennial in the Southern California desert. She has had solo exhibitions at the Museum of Art and History (MOAH) in Lancaster, California and at Prescott College Art Gallery in Arizona, and she was commissioned to build an outdoor sculpture for Porch Gallery in Ojai, California. She was artist-in-residence at Shasta Whiskeytown National Park and visiting artist at the Thomas McKeon Center for Creativity in Tulsa, Oklahoma. She has shown work at the Yokohama Triennial in Japan, the Musée du Papier-Peint in Switzerland, the Vincent Price Art Museum in Los Angeles, the Brand Library Art Center in Glendale, the San Francisco Arts Commission, and the Berkeley Art Center in Northern California. Her work has been featured in Palm Springs Life, the L.A. Times, the San Francisco Chronicle, the Eastbay Express (Oakland, CA), La Liberté (Fribourg, Switzerland), and the arts journal AEQAI. Sonja’s work is in private and public collections in the United States. She has upcoming solo and group exhibitions in Los Angeles and Tokyo.
Show Gallery is an art gallery and artist residency showcasing local and international contemporary artists located in the heart of Hollywood.

Places to see in ( Freiburg - Germany )
Places to see in ( Freiburg - Germany )
Freiburg im Breisgau, a vibrant university city in southwest Germany’s Black Forest, is known for its temperate climate and reconstructed medieval old town, crisscrossed by picturesque brooks (bächle). In the surrounding highlands, hiking destination Schlossberg hill is linked to Freiburg by a funicular. With a dramatic 116m spire, the Gothic cathedral Freiburg Minster towers over the central square Münsterplatz.
Sitting plump at the foot of the Black Forest’s wooded slopes and vineyards, Freiburg is a sunny, cheerful university town, its medieval Altstadt a storybook tableau of gabled townhouses, cobblestone lanes and cafe-rimmed plazas. Party-loving students spice up the local nightlife. Blessed with 2000 hours of annual sunshine, this is Germany’s warmest city. Indeed, while neighbouring hilltop villages are still shovelling snow, the trees in Freiburg are clouds of white blossom, and locals are already imbibing in canal-side beer gardens. This eco-trailblazer has shrewdly tapped into that natural energy to generate nearly as much solar power as the whole of Britain, making it one of the country’s greenest cities.
Freiburg im Breisgau, or more commonly Freiburg is known as the Jewel of the Black Forest. By German standards it is a major city in southwest Germany, situated on the edge of the Black Forest. When ordering train tickets and similar items online, be careful not to confuse Freiburg (im Breisgau) with Freiburg (an der Elbe) or Fribourg in Switzerland.
Lying in a secluded wine-rich corner of the German state of Baden-Württemberg, Freiburg is a laid-back, beautiful university city. Known throughout Germany for Albert Ludwig University of Freiburg, good weather, and vineyards, Freiburg is considered by Germans to be a desirable place to live.
Due to its secluded location at the border triangle of Germany, France, and Switzerland, and being fairly removed from any other larger German cities, locals will frequently go shopping in France and Switzerland for their respective native products and go to museums and theaters in Basel or Zürich. One can find a strong local patriotism, which shows itself in the anthem of Baden (a former independent state), which can be heard more often than the national anthem.
Although Freiburg itself is not a major tourist destination or a large city, it can serve as a relatively inexpensive base from which to explore much of central Europe. Thanks to its excellent connections via rail and road to the outside world, Freiburg can easily allow to travel to all of Switzerland, Germany, Austria, the Benelux countries, and France with little trouble and at good prices. If you plan on an extended stay or travel to these destinations, it can be a welcoming base to return to after each segment of your journey, with more than enough to entertain you for a few days while you stay in Freiburg.

The Ivory Throne of the Levantines
This talk will focus on an unknown aspect of the material culture of the ancient Levantines of the second millennium BCE, colloquially known as the Canaanites. In ancient Near Eastern and Levantine traditions, thrones were objects that connected the realms of the divine with monarchy on earth. Rather than being a symbolic trope, in the Levant, the act of sitting on a throne was considered performative, transforming gods and mortals into de facto kings. Being at the focal point of the royal audience, thrones were platforms for visual messages conveyed by the ruler— divine and human—to gods, court, subjects, and foreign visitors. So far, we have only known depictions of Levantine thrones of the second millennium, which were mostly carved on ivory inlays. Yet, surprisingly, we had no knowledge of full-sized thrones, creating a discrepancy in our understanding of local royal ideology and cult practices in the ancient Levant. In this talk, Naeh will present some initial results from her ongoing project, where, for the first time, she is able to identify fragments of full-sized ivory thrones used by the Levantines in varied contexts. Originating from several sites from both past and new archaeological excavations, these fragments illuminate a nuanced progression of local throne design. The talk will also explore questions regarding the semiotic nexus between ivory as raw material, and throne imagery—arguing that the symbolism of the ivory as an enlivened, powerful substance, combined with the throne’s anthropomorphic, zoomorphic, and hybrid features—were instrumental in establishing the Levantine throne as a live placeholder for its king.
Liat Naeh has just completed her doctorate at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem. She was previously an Associate Research Fellow at the W. F. Albright Institute of Archaeological Research in Jerusalem and a Visiting Scholar at Columbia University and at the University of Fribourg, Switzerland. Her area of interest is global exchange focusing on the art, archaeology, and religion of the Bronze and Iron Ages Levant and the ancient Mediterranean. Naeh has published extensively on newly excavated art and cult objects from southern Levantine sites. In 2017, her article “In Search of Identity: The Contribution of Recent Finds to Our Understanding of Iron Age Ivory Objects in the Material Culture of the Southern Levant,” which revisited the unsolved question of southern Levantine production of ivories during the Iron Age, won the Sean W. Dever Memorial Prize for best student paper in the field of Syro-Palestinian or biblical archaeology. Fostering a keen interest in ancient furniture and its ritualistic use, Naeh is the co-editor of a collection of articles on ancient thrones in the Near East titled “The Throne in Art and Archaeology: From the Dawn of the Ancient Near East until the Late Medieval Period” (with Dana Brostowsky Gilboa, to be published by the Austrian Academy of Sciences). At Bard Graduate Center, she will focus on her new project “The Ivory Throne of the Levantines.” This project will involve interpreting Levantine archaeological finds and studying comperanda at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in order to define and reconstruct a previously unknown class of Canaanite Bronze Age ivory thrones that embodied an amalgamation of local and global concepts of authority.
Aarau, Switzerland, where Albert Einstein started his career
Founded about 1240 by the Counts of Kyburg, picturesque Aarau, Switzerland, with a population of around 16,000, lies on the River Aare at the foot of the southern slopes of the Jura mountains. The town’s central location, within easy travelling distance of Basel, Bern, Lucerne and Zurich makes it an ideal meeting point and it has a variety of thriving industries. It is also known as the town of beautiful gables thanks to its colourful baroque-style buildings with painted gable roofs. Aarau is also a town of outdoor activity and culture see below), as well as hosting several traditional festivals such as the Maienzug (May Day Procession) and Rueblimärt (Carrot Festival).
The great physicist Einstein lived in Switzerland between 1895 and 1919, and his time in Aarau, though short (1895-6), is well recorded in the town. The house Einstein lived in for that year has a plaque identifying it, and there is a square named after him; both are shown in the film. He attended the Kantonschule in Aarau (also featured in the movie) because he wanted to be a teacher of Mathematics, and he had surprisingly failed the exam to get on the course at the Polytechnikum in Zürich. After a year at the Kantonsschule in Aarau he was successful and returned to Zürich for his teacher training.
Explore the old town (Altstadt). Go to the Aargauer Kunsthaus art museum, the Naturama museum of natural history, or learn about the town’s history at the Schlössli Museum.
Visit the Roggenhausen Wildlife Park to see animals in their natural habitat, and go on a Nature Trail.
Walk or cycle along the River Aare on trails provided for the purpose.
Swim and play at Freibad Schachen water park.
Visit the Vindonissa Museum to learn about the Romans.
Visit one or more of the castles in the area, such as Lenzburg Castle, Hallwyl Water Castle, and Habsburg Castle.
Seek out the house where Albert Einstein lived and the school he attended for a year, and have a coffee in Einsteinplatz.
Take the family to the bizarre Käpten Jo’s Aafähre, which is in the shape of a boat and is so much more than a restaurant!
For nightlife, go to the Jugendkulturhaus Flosserplatz.
Finding the right accommodation actually in Aarau town is not easy. If you want a four-star hotel right in Aarau, about the only option is the Best Western Plus Hotel Storchen on Oltnerstrasse, but if you are willing to travel a better idea might be to stay at Seerose Resort and Spa, 11 miles (18km) out of town. In the 3-star category, the Sorell Hotel Aarauerhof and the Sorrell Hotel Argovia are both within walking distance from the town centre. The nearest hostels are 23 miles (37km) away in Zurich, where you find Langstars Backpacker Hostel on Aussersihl, or 8 miles (12km) away at Zofingen at the Youth Hostel Zofingen.

Tibet Museum - Gruyères
Tibet Museum -
de la Fondation Alain Bordier
En avril 2009 la fondation Alain Bordier a ouvert le Tibet Museum au cœur de la cité médiévale de Gruyères dans la partie française de la Suisse.
Le Tibet Museum renferme une collection importante de sculptures, peintures et d'objets rituels. Cela représente environ trois cents objets qui ont été fabriqués dans les anciennes cultures bouddhistes qui entourent le Tibet: de rares sculptures du Népal, du Cachemire, du Swat et d'autre régions de l'Himalaya. Il y a également d'autres exemples du nord de l'Inde et de la Birmanie (Myanmar). Comme d'autres collectionneurs d'art tibétain, Alain Bordier a assemblé sa collection durant le dernier quart du 20ème siècle lorsque de nombreux objets religieux furent ramenés par les Tibétains en exiles en Inde et au Népal.
C'était le vœux d'Alain Bordier de partager sa fascination avec le plus de monde possible et de garder ensemble ces objets religieux miraculeusement conservés. C'est la raison pour laquelle il a créé la «Fondation Alain Bordier» afin de préserver la collection bouddhiste et maintenir le Tibet Museum.

마을 안쪽에는 영화 에이리언에서 기상천외한 외계인을 만들어 우리에게 놀라움을 주었던 에이리언의 창조자 HR 기거의 박물관이 있다. 박물관에 들어서자 영화에서 낯익은 그놈이 나를 반긴다. 박물관 내에는 기거의 작품이 많았지만 촬영은 허락되지 않았다. 박물관 옆에 있는 바에서 그의 작품을 만나는 것을 대신해야 했다. 1940년에 스위스에서 태어난 기거는 화가 조각가 세트 디자이너 등으로 활동하고 있다. 이 괴물들로 그는 1980년 아카데미상 시각 효과 부문을 수상했다.
