24. April – 27. April 2025 · étage 19, Nidau
The 2025 season exhibition at étage 19 brings together four very different approaches to visual art: F & D Cartier present collaborative works that straddle the line between figuration and abstraction; Luo Mingjun explores a painterly practice at the intersection of Chinese and European visual culture; Verena Lafargue Rimann presents a distinctive approach to painting developed through many years of practice; and Marc Zaugg exhibits works in printmaking and drawing. For the closing event on 27 April 2025, Suzanne Castelberg will present a musical intervention entitled “Stimmwerk”.
Programme
Artists
F and D Cartier are an artist duo based in Switzerland. Their collaborative practice combines painterly and conceptual approaches to create distinctive visual worlds that straddle the line between figuration and abstraction.
At étage 19, F and D Cartier are exhibiting collaborative works in which two distinct artistic styles come together to create a visual space characterised by dialogue.
Luo Mingjun lives and works as an artist in Switzerland. Her practice combines painting and drawing techniques with biographical and intercultural experiences spanning China and Switzerland. She is recognised internationally, particularly within the context of contemporary Asian art.
At étage 19, Luo Mingjun presents a painterly approach that translates cultural interstices and processes of transformation into colour and form.
Verena Lafargue Rimann is an artist and a member of the SGBK (Swiss Society of Visual Artists). She lives and works in the Biel/Bienne region and creates works in painting, drawing and related media.
At etage, Verena Lafargue Rimann is exhibiting 19 works from her long-standing practice of painting, in which observation, form and colour become independent visual statements.

Marc Zaugg is a print artist who specialises in depictions of images found in nature. His works are based on his own photographs, which are first processed digitally and then finished by hand. The result is a series of works that appear both highly naturalistic and graphically rendered.
Marc Zaugg is exhibiting prints at étage 19 2026. The subjects of the works mostly revolve around natural phenomena, which Zaugg captures with his camera, processes digitally and prints in small editions of 4–6 copies on Japanese paper using analogue techniques.
Concert
Suzanne Castelberg is a vocal artist and interdisciplinary artist based in the Biel/Bienne region. She develops vocal and sound projects at the intersection of music, performance and the visual arts, and is a member of the SGBK.
To mark the closing of the exhibition, Suzanne Castelberg is presenting ‘Stimmwerk’, a musical intervention in which the human voice is used as a medium of sound and space.
