On 17 June 2026 we presented Conical Helix of Time, an exhibition and performance at the Kirche Kleinhüningen on Dorfstrasse in Basel.

The tranquil church grounds where Carl Jung spent his formative years, while his father was the church’s pastor, were an antidote to the fair.

Thank you to all who came and contributed.

Pascal Renaud-Bovy (Switzerland) aka Troubadour21, is a countertenor, conductor, and composer, who trained in early Western music and passionate about written polyphony. Coinciding with the exhibition, Troubadour21 performed music referencing a range of Archaic, Medieval, Baroque, and contemporary references at 5pm Wednesday 17 June at Kirche Kleinhüningen.

Renaud-Bovy studied medieval singing at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis, where he obtained a Master’s in Early Music Theory. He holds a double Bachelor in choral conducting, from the Musikhochschule in Karlsruhe, and in Fine Arts, Jazz Saxophone, from the New School University in New York City. taken in Dorfkirche Kleinhüningen by @chezarasera

This day in 2022 I was dancing into a new role as Curator to help establish @shoreditchartsclub_ which opened March 2023 in London.

It was the beginning of my journey back to Europe as I never wanted to stay in London, but I didn’t know how or where I’d land.

I’ve finally moved to Zurich to start an MA: Cultural Critique, Curating at ZHdK this week! So far it’s everything I could have hoped for it’s been a rollercoaster to get here and I’m grateful to everyone who helped on this meandering journey.

In 2023 @winder.ton and I collaborated on a Pride party where @barbs.co.uk rendition of Philip Glass’ Metamorphosis on a grand piano was the gem of the ball.

It remains a highlight of my time at @shoreditchartsclub_ a glimmer of elegance amongst the subsumption of Pride into the ugly continuation of patriarchal capitalism. taken in Shoreditch Arts Club by @chezarasera

Inspired by @ora_art_reviews highlights from the opening week of @galleryhouse.zurich …

1, 2. Rita Sigfried presented by @suns.works – Rita’s paintings are rare exquisite gems, capturing both the enchantment of Dutch masters craft – clever lighting and framing within the picture draws one into the moment – while managing to remain sharply contemporary with uncanny elements and bright colour palates.

3. Wendy Cabrera Rubio @wendy_cabrera_rubio with French designer Fabien Cappello presented by General Expenses @generalexpenses – Wendy’s work “Replacing, on a day not far distant, uncertain agriculture with plasmogenic organic chemistry” is revisiting historic Mexican arts and crafts as they collided with nationalist futurism, nested between works by Marek Wolfryd @marek_wolfryd and Michele Lorusso @michelelorusso.

4, 5, 6, 7. Jürgen Baumann @juergen_baumann, Sebastian Kommer @sebastian.kommer, Guy Meldem @guymeldem and others presented by Second Nature @secondnature_design_projects – Giovanna
has made a really nice presentation across several rooms on the 2nd floor.

8, 9, 10. Sabina Mirri, Genesis P-Orridge and other secondary works presented by @ora_art_reviews – curated by Marco Antonini @ars_et_labor to capture the New York state of mind, from 70s, 80s and early 90s on the 1st floor.

11. Christa Näher presented by Kirchgasse @kirchgassegallery – How can you not love these dogs? I didn’t know Näher’s name but this is clearly one of the best works in the building.

12. Mickael Marman @dont_add_1983 presented by Damien & The Love Guru @damien.and.the.love.guru – playful little paintings I didn’t spend much time with but would be curious to learn more about.

13. Stefan Tanaze @stefan.tanaze in his happy place.

14… 20. while we wait for professional documentation of Conical Helix of Time with Cristiano Di Martino @cristianodmartino, Emma Pidré @emmapidre, Priscilla Tea @priscilla_tea, Amalia Laurent @amalia.laurent, and Jessica Luostarinen @jessicaluost presented by @composingrooms, curated by moi! by @chezarasera

Our first feature in our first issue: Artists, lovers, outsiders

Written by @chezarasera

“It was very high, so high indeed that nineteen English counties could be seen beneath, and on clear days thirty, or forty perhaps, if the weather was very fine. Sometimes one could see the English Channel, wave reiterating upon wave.” When Virginia Woolf, the early 20th century feminist author, wrote those lines in the opening chapter of Orlando, she was likely describing Firle Beacon, a hill in East Sussex that rises above Monk’s House, where she penned several of her most famous novels.

Escaping the chaos of London for pleasure and respite, Woolf had been frequenting houses in the South Downs from the borough of Bloomsbury since at least 1911. It was around this time that a group of British artists and intellectuals were solidifying in Gordon Square. Woolf’s siblings, Vanessa Bell and Thoby Stephen, began hosting gatherings in their houses in 1905, which became the basis for the Bloomsbury Group…
