Résidence et rencontres d’artistes / Artefact Pulse

InSitu - Residency: Loriane Buro Papilloud & Cécile Koepfli, *Artefact Pulse*, July 27–August 9, 2026. Villa Mirage welcomes Loriane Buro Papilloud and Cécile Koepfli for a creative residency centered on their project *Artefact Pulse*, a sensory exploration of the multifaceted lives of objects. Continuing their artistic collaboration, which began with *Dessins Nomades*, the two artists will take over the spaces of the former aluminum factory to explore the traces, uses, and memories embedded in the objects left behind. Through four-handed drawing, writing, and a shared creative process, they explore the poetic, emotional, and symbolic dimensions of objects, navigating the interplay between appearance, function, and attachment.This residency offers an opportunity to create a dialogue between the site, its inhabitants, and its remnants through an artistic practice rooted in observation, intuition, and exchange.Trokotruk / July 30, 2026, from 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM Bring 1 to 2 objects you wish to part with and freely exchange them with other participants. This swap takes place without monetary transactions, in a spirit of sharing, reuse, and connection.During the event, participants will be invited to present an object they’ve brought and share its story: its use, its origin, the memories associated with it, or the reasons for passing it on. These stories will inspire drawings and the creation of a catalog of “traveling objects.” Refreshments will be available on-site for a donation of your choice, with proceeds benefiting Villa Mirage.Residency Closing Event + Pasta Party / August 7, 2026, starting at 6:00 p.m. Presentation of works created by Loriane Buro Papilloud and Cécile Koepfli during their residency at Villa Mirage.A vegetarian- and gluten-free pasta party—pay-what-you-can, with proceeds benefiting Villa Mirage—hosted by Doublementon, followed by a screening of Christopher Nolan’s film “Following.” Info, press, sales, and more: info@villamirage.ch Graphic design by Jordan Espagne
