A celebration of Queen Coco wouldn’t be complete without a deep dive into cultural history, philanthropy, and preservation. Thank you to Colleen and her wonderful colleagues @chateauversailles for the special behind the scenes visit of the palace, for educating us on restoration efforts and sharing so many historical nuggets. 🇫🇷🇫🇷

Many photos not my own & taken instead by the talented @gabija.monika or @davidhgerson by @simmyswinder

Equinox by Harald Erath #🖤

"An equinox is a moment of perfect balance — where day and night become equal. It is also a state of transition: a delicate threshold between exhaustion and awakening, pressure and lightness, clarity and escape. In these works, the fading intensity of daylight merges with the seductive mystery of the night, creating spaces that feel both intimate and unreal.

Through Equinox, Harald Erath reflects on contemporary life in Switzerland and quietly confronts themes often left unspoken including the hidden presence of drug use within corporate environments and the art world itself. The works move between beauty and discomfort, silence and revelation."

Karoline Schreiber - Room Within.

11.06. - 28.06.2026

"The exhibition builds a bridge between Drawing Account, Schreiber’s ongoing series of large-scale pencil drawings begun in 2016, and New Series, a newer body of work, in which color enters more boldly. In the earlier figurative works, domestic spaces, furniture, faces, shadows, and hybrid forms appear as if staged inside a dream. They are precise and atmospheric, humorous and unsettling at once. In the new color series, the image moves toward the abstract and architectural: dense masses of felt-tip pen, ink, and colored pencil gather into vibrating fields, organic structures, and bodily forms. Lines accumulate until they seem almost alive, creating surfaces that pull the viewer inward.

Throughout the exhibition, openings appear. Sometimes they are literal gaps left inside a drawing; sometimes they are areas of untouched paper, pale thresholds within darker forms. Schreiber often leaves parts of her works unfinished, allowing emptiness to remain active. These spaces are not absences, but portals - small interruptions through which another reality seems to press forward. They create the sensation of being invited inside the drawing, as though one might cross the surface and enter the artist’s inner world."

"In Room Within, Schreiber invites us into an inner space where images unfold according to their own logic. Guided by subconscious gesture, her lines move instinctively across the paper, merging abstraction with realism, humans with animals, and objects with impossible companions. Worlds collide without asking permission. What appears familiar quickly becomes strange; what seems abstract begins to resemble a body, a landscape, a room, or a memory."
Maria Richner
