On this occasion\, the artist has kindly offered to host us with a Swiss-style breakfast in a warm and friendly atmosphere.\Séverin Guelpa’s work is rooted in fragile\, exposed\, and threatened territories—those areas of the globe where the tensions between nature\, resources\, economy\, and human survival are most intense. For several years\, he has explored deserts\, arid zones\, industrial spaces\, and transitional geographies to extract a form of physical and poetic truth. \nHis approach is based on immersion\, often through long-term residencies or expeditions\, during which he settles in\, observes\, collects\, and documents. At the intersection of artistic expression and fieldwork\, Guelpa explores the complexity of a territory through images (video and photography)\, sound recordings\, and the collection of raw materials (stone\, soil\, minerals\, water\, metal)\, which are later reused in his installations. Each piece thus becomes a direct imprint of the place—a transformation of its telluric forces into artistic language. \nPlease register before 30 October at: cfnu.unwg@bluemail.ch\nWe hope to see many of you there for this unique artistic experience! \nWarm regards\,\nAjkuna\, Carmen & Adeline URL:https://unwg.ch/unwg-event/invitation-to-visit-the-studio-of-severin-guelpa LOCATION:Studio of Séverin Guelpa\, Rue du Vélodrome 18\, atelier 421\, Geneva\, 1205\, Switzerland CATEGORIES:Special Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://unwg.ch/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/WhatsApp-Image-2025-11-10-at-11.27.02.jpeg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Paris:20251104T130000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Paris:20251104T170000 DTSTAMP:20260404T013959 CREATED:20251117T064202Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251117T072417Z UID:9070-1762261200-1762275600@unwg.ch SUMMARY:Coffee Morning - Mission of Brazil DESCRIPTION:Dear Members and Friends\, \nWe are delighted to invite you to our upcoming Coffee Morning on Tuesday\, 4 November\, from 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.\, in the Auditorium\, Building H\, Palais des Nations. \nThis special event is hosted by the Mission of Brazil and our dear friend Guadelupe Romero\, spouse of the Ambassador and Permanent Representative of Brazil.
