For his exhibition in the synagogue, Tobias Spichtig was initially keen to appropriate the building—just like any object he usually salvages to create a work, image or sculpture—in order to incorporate it into the whole he is presenting on this occasion. It is reused as a second-hand object, one that has already lived several lives, including that of a place of worship for a century, later converted into a cultural space in the early 1990s. The artist makes it into a theatre that stages his paintings and sculptures, those “ghosts” that will haunt and inhabit the exhibition space for three months. (...)

The CAC - la synagogue de Delme is pleased to invite to the opening of the exhibition Love and die on Friday 9th November at 6pm. 

Performance of the artist during the opening at 8pm with the partnership of Theresa Patzschke.

The exhibition Love and die receives the support from Pro Helvetia, the swiss arts Council. With the participation of Galerie Bernhard, Zurich.
