We can feel Andrea smiling down on us, her spirit woven into every corner 🕊️
We still have work ahead before we feel fully settled, but for now, thank you to all the team members who worked so hard to bring this space to life, and to the skilled tradespeople who helped shape it.

Travel Postcards: Vivian Suter at Palais de Tokyo, Paris
Tucked within the soaring halls of , we recently stepped into Disco, an immersive and untamed world created by Argentinian born artist Vivian Suter. The title does not refer to music, but to one of her beloved dogs. Based in Panajachel, Guatemala, a lakeside village surrounded by volcanoes, Suter has spent the last four decades living and working immersed in nature, away from the traditional art world.
Her 493 unstretched, untitled, and weather worn paintings span twenty years and are suspended throughout the space in a loose choreography that shifts with air, light, and movement. Many bear traces of her open air studio: mud, leaves, paw prints, even the memory of a 2005 mudslide that buried her workspace. That event marked a turning point in her embrace of chance and the natural world as creative collaborators.
For this show, the museum opened its glass ceiling to the elements, allowing the works to move and breathe with the weather, echoing the conditions in which they were made. Curated in collaboration with , Disco offers a quiet disruption of traditional display and a moving tribute to resilience, adaptation, and the beauty of being exposed.
A refreshingly stripped down curatorial and exhibition design approach, honest, raw, and free from excess framing. The kind of spirit Andrea would have deeply appreciated 🕊️
