From the spring equinox to the autumn equinox, mudac invites you to soak up the sun with the second Solar Biennale.
Solar Biennale at mudac
With Soleil·s exhibition, plunge into the heart of the Plateforme 10 arts district in a joyous, transdisciplinary exhibition featuring installations, artefacts, films, innovative materials, and immersive spaces, including original creations by a wide rang of artists and designers. The Solar Biennale will also take place on the EPFL campus, with events, parties and activities to explore the many facets of the sun, a universal symbol and source of life.
Launched in 2022 in the Netherlands by designers Pauline van Dongen and Marjan van Aubel, the Solar Biennale provides a platform for reflection on the challenges of solar energy. For this second edition, mudac will broaden the theme by bringing together designers, curators, activists, and researchers to explore expanded perspectives on how to approach ecological transition. Far from limiting itself to a single, socially constructed vision, Soleil·s will address the symbolic, political, practical, and aesthetic dimensions of our relations to that star.
Solar Biennale at EPFL campus
Recognising the multifaceted nature of the sun, mudac is collaborating with several EPFL entities to foster the necessary interdisciplinary approach. Two events will take place: the Sun Shines on Architecture exhibition at Archizoom, and the exhibition of two projects from the Enter the Hyper Scientific programme at EPFL Pavilions – Pavilion A.
