IMMERSION. The Origins: 1949 - 1969

Musèe Cantonal des Beaux Arts, Lausanne

The show curated by Choghakate Kazarian, art historian, and Camille Lévêque-Claudet, curator at MCBA, invites the public to discover works that were specifically designed in fact to be immersive, a “novelty” that goes back over 70 years. With fourteen immersive environments by a range of artists, from Lucio Fontana to Judy Chicago, Immersion. The Origins: 1949-1969 is the first exhibition to look at an emerging practice that was to become one of the major forms of expression starting in the 1990s.
