Japanese Contemporary Art

In the context of the exhibition We Cannot Be Say As part of the exhibition We Cannot Be Say, bringing together Japanese artists Yoichiro Otani and Yasui Chisato, Galerie AIFA in Verbier will host a Japanese whisky tasting on Saturday, March 28. Conceived as an extension of the exhibition, this event creates a meeting point between different expressions of Japanese culture. Within the gallery space, visitors will be invited to discover a selection of Japanese whiskies in a subtle dialogue with the artworks on view. For this occasion, Figee , a Zurich-based company, will guide the tasting and share its expertise, offering insight into the history and craftsmanship behind this tradition. Echoing the spirit of We Cannot Be Say, the event proposes a moment that is both aesthetic and sensory, where contemporary art meets the culture of taste. Saturday, March 28 Galerie AIFA, 6 Rue de la Poste, 1936 Verbier Free entry – tasting offered Registration recommended: info@aifa.art

AIFA Gallery, in collaboration with Ms Mooser, a specialist in traditional Kintsugi, invites you to explore one of the fascinating aspects of Japanese culture. More than just a technique for repairing ceramics, Kintsugi embodies a philosophy: Wabi-Sabi, a celebration of imperfection, transience and the beauty of the traces of time. A true immersion in contemporary Japanese culture. Guided by Ms Mooser's expertise, each participant will have the opportunity to enhance a piece of ceramics, transforming fragility into brilliance. It is also an opportunity to experience a moment of slowness and contemplation while discovering the depth of Japanese art through the various works on display in the gallery. Since 2018, AIFA's mission has been to promote Japanese art beyond its borders, particularly in Switzerland. The art of Kintsugi is a unique example of this: it is not just a technique, but a philosophical approach that invites serenity and reflection. Surrounded by contemporary creations, you will be at the heart of a dialogue between tradition and modernity, where each piece reflects today's Japanese sensibility and aesthetics.
