The 22,000 square meter cultural district, west of Lausanne’s train station, will unite three major institutions focusing on complementary disciplines in the same place. The self-defined “original, dynamic and multidisciplinary” cultural hub, welcomes new galleries, shops and lecture halls and opens around the clock, aiming to create a dialogue between the three institutions and will also host new artist and curator residencies.
Applications are open to Swiss and foreign artists until October 14. All artists — or artist collectives — wishing to take part in the competition must have previously designed an artistic work conceived for a public space. Plateforme 10’s director Chantal Prod’hom has also added that the “the artistic intervention will therefore have to be incorporated on the site itself, within a broad and ever-changing context, as work will be taking place on the museum and Lausanne station sites until 2025”.
Construction works for the new Musée cantonal des Beaux-Arts are to begin this fall, whilst the inauguration of the building is scheduled for September 2019. The project for the Musée de l’Elysée-mudac, on the other hand, will be developed between 2020 and 2022.
Members of the jury include: art historian, art critic and curator Catherine Otehnin-Girard, Chantal Prod’Hom, director of mudac, Tatyana Franck, director of the Cantonal Museum of Photography and Bernard Fibicher, director of the Cantonal Museum of Fine Arts.
