After its initial establishment as a non-profit off-space in Vienna, Galerie Mezzanin transitioned into a commercial gallery before relocating in Geneva in 2015, finding its place in the vibrant Quartier des Bains. The gallery curates approximately five exhibitions annually, with a dedicated emphasis on showcasing the works of international emerging artists and fostering the growth of their careers
Scottish artist Karla Black presents her first solo exhibition at Galerie Mezzanin, exploring the tension between material experience and self-perception. Through sculptural works that engage with mirrors, paint, and physical presence, Black challenges the historical evolution of self-consciousness—from the reflective surfaces of the past to today’s omnipresent digital screens. Drawing on philosophical and historical references, her work seeks to disrupt the “spell” of modern self-awareness, inviting a return to a more tactile, unmediated engagement with the world.
