Charlotte Schaer

Through sculpture, installation and publishing, Charlotte Schaer thinks of space as a system. Taking into account a given place leads her to reflect on and question its specific characteristics. Its history, forms and layout become data that organize and classify it. Once tamed, space is made visible, ordered and synthesized. The objects that inhabit it, whether manufactured or machined, fit into the mesh, harmonizing or breaking with the system. The object of study is probed, then reduced to its simplest plastic expression. The artist's formal work is part of an approach aimed at creating a logical process, whose combinations induce a serial aesthetic. In this way, the finished object and its elaboration are linked by the relationship between a singular element and its whole.

After graduating with a Bachelor's and Master's degree in Visual Arts from HEAD - Geneva, Charlotte Schaer also worked there as an assistant in the metalwork, publishing and printing workshops. She continued her academic career with a Master's degree in Information Science at HEG - Geneva, furthering her research into the classification, archiving and processing of information.
