Lea Fröhlicher and Olivia Hegetschweiler

"Let's go here. At the traffic circle."

The artist duo Lea Fröhlicher and Olivia Hegetschweiler prefer to work site-specifically, from small, subtle interventions to large-scale installations. They are interested in places, their immediate surroundings and their peculiarities, in part their past and possible visions of the future.
For the exhibition in the satellite, they are reviving the spirit of the former kiosk and putting together an engaging and participatory summer program. Lea Fröhlicher and Olivia Hegetschweiler process various impressions they have gathered in Thun in and around the Satellit. They use the satellite as a vantage point and invite the public and passers-by to enter into a dialog with them, to join in and discover. The artists themselves and their process are exhibited.
In the exhibition space, they create a setting that is a repository, warehouse, vacation spot and studio. From the beginning of July to the end of September, the two local residents are regularly present as tourists in the art space - their so-called summer residence. Whenever they are on site, the glass panes will be invitingly open and contributors will be welcomed. Protected from the wind and weather, they can not only enjoy the view, but also work. True to the motto "We are lost in the satellite and you can do the same!" This exhibition is intended to become a meeting place and enliven the space around the satellite. Fröhlicher and Hegetschweiler also want to take walks to explore the surrounding area and spread out spatially.
