Images Vevey. Biennial of Visual Arts

07.09.-29.09.2024

The Biennale Images Vevey returns for three weeks, from 7 to 29 September 2024, with around 50 new projects and expects to welcome more than 60,000 visitors.

A leading figure on the art scene, Andreas Gursky is renowned for his monumental digitally edited photos depicting the globalisation of society, and its geopolitical, technological, and ecological challenges. Thirty years ago, he focused his lens on Switzerland’s Aletsch Glacier. An immense 23 km long, and over 4’000 m at its highest elevation, the largest glacier in the Alps is one of the natural monuments of Swiss national heritage. It is a focal point for scientific research and emblematic of the problem of glacial melting. The German photographer Andreas Gursky took the photo Aletsch Glacier with an analogue camera, in situ in 1993. Andreas Gursky created a breathtaking picture that, thirty years on, remains as relevant as ever. It has become an icon of the global issue of climate change.

Online charity auction in favour of the Regenbogenland children's and youth hospice

The Regenbogenland children's and young people's hospice in Düsseldorf is a special facility that cares for terminally ill children and their families - in life, in dying and beyond death. This year, Regenbogenland is celebrating its 25th anniversary. This makes it one of the oldest children's hospices in Germany.

As part of the anniversary celebrations, this charity art auction was launched, the proceeds of which will benefit the Regenbogenland children's and youth hospice and help to give affected families fulfilling moments together in the remaining time with their children and offer special support on their difficult journey.

In total, over 20 renowned and up-and-coming artists have participated in this idea and made their works available. This has resulted in an offer that is as colourful as Regenbogenland itself.

As a highlight, the works of art will be presented to the bidders at a festive evening on Saturday, 24 August 2024 on the stage of the Tonhalle Düsseldorf, in some cases by the artists themselves.
