“Tempesta” brings together seven international artists working across sculpture and installation. Conceived as a major summer exhibition, it foregrounds distinct practices that actively shape and reconfigure the space. Works unfold as spatial propositions, occasionally extending into video and object-based forms.
Developed for the Fondation Fernet-Branca’s industrial, pared-down architecture, the exhibition presents newly commissioned works alongside pieces adapted specifically to the site.
Featuring Julius von Bismarck, Josh Kline, Jos Näpflin, Tenant of Culture, Vittorio Santoro, Andreas Waldmeier, and Annie Wan Lai-kuen, “Tempesta” creates environments that shift how we look and move. Familiar readings break down. New relations emerge.
Amid increasingly fragmented media landscapes and intensified political divisions, the exhibition resists fixed positions. Instead, it asks for sustained attention: to stay with what is unstable, to question one’s footing, and to remain open to contradiction.

The Fondation Fernet-Branca, an emblematic exhibition space in the heart of Saint-Louis, is housed in a former distillery that has been renovated by architect Jean-Michel Wilmotte. Established in 2003 as part of a visionary project, it is part of an exceptional cross-border cultural landscape alongside renowned Swiss and German museums.
