Opening hours:

Daniel Garbade, born in Switzerland and resident in Spain for more than 30 years, fuses the mythology, history, and iconography of the countries of both countries in this project, joining ICAM's work in bringing cultures together through art and culture.
In this exhibition, Garbade clearly acknowledges his Swiss origins and takes the traditional cut-out silhouettes of paper cuttings as a reference. With this look, he is continuing the line he took two years ago and is oriented toward Spanish folk iconography to describe the context of current life. In this exhibition, the artist combines Swiss and Spanish folk iconography to describe the mosaic of his life that is the fruit of these two cultures, obtaining an evocative image, subtle and complex at the same time.
The origin of the word mosaic can be found in the Greek word μoυσειoν-oυ (mouse-ou), the temple of the muses. The Romans considered the art of making mosaics so exquisite that only muses or their favorite people could practice it. In al-Andalus, the Almoravids, Almohads, Nasrids, and at the same time the Mudejars interpreted this Roman legacy, adapting it to their own style, and the mosaic became a fundamental element of their architectural art.
In this context of intercultural mosaic, Daniel Garbade created the exhibition project for the ICAM in Geneva, in collaboration with the Spanish Gallery Vesaniart.
