Intro
With a contemporary program and temporary events, the director, Corinna Weiss, testifies to the fresh wind blowing in the capital of watchmaking in the Jura.
The six culture enthusiasts Corinna Weiss, Julie Houriet Salomon, Pascal Bühler, François Henry, Damien Modolo and Yvonne Tissot founded the Quartier Général (QG) association in La Chaux-de-Fonds in 2013 with the aim of enhancing cultural life in La Chaux-de-Fonds, supporting Swiss and international artistic creation and defending the principle of "art for all" through strong cultural mediation. From February 2015, the city council will rent it the historic building of the Anciens Abattoirs de la Ville de La Chaux-de-Fonds to establish a center for contemporary art of the same name.
With a contemporary program and temporary events, director Corinna Weiss is testament to the fresh wind blowing through the capital of watchmaking in the Jura. She envisions QG as an art center where experimentation is the leitmotif of every creative source. The artist Christian Gonzenbach and Marc Atallah, director of the Maison d'Ailleurs in Yverdon, are among the sponsors. QG aims to offer ambitious and varied exhibitions as well as various events inside and outside the walls, concerts, lectures, guided tours, etc.
In 2015, the Quartier Général association organized its first exhibition under the name Atomik Magik Circus. Four to eight exhibitions are organized each year. After four years as president of the QG association, Walter Tschopp handed over the reins to Jérome Baratelli in 2019. Today, the board consists of Jérôme Baratelli (president, former head of the Visual Communication course at HEAD ), Denis Roueche (secretary, artist and curator), Kalust Zorik (treasurer and marketing specialist), Nicolas Babey and Emanuelle Cottet. Around 300 people are members of the association.
