Viewing High culture in Verbier

Take a spin around the Verbier 3-D Foundation’s sculpture park, where artists in residence create works in response to the environment. It offers a journey full of surprises, including “Sisyphean energies”, a solar-powered piece by Haroon Mirza that invites you to contemplate the interplay between natural elements and human intervention; a “refuge for inevitable change” built from sandbags by Tarik Hayward; and a tribute to life and death by foundation co-founder Kiki Thompson, among other installations.

This year’s resident artist is London-based artist Rana Begum, known for her geometric forms that play with colour, light and space. We can’t wait to see her high altitude installation take shape.

Viewing A tribute to the radical sculptures of Anu Põder

On your way up the mountain, be sure to stop off at Muzeum Susch in the Lower Engadin valley to see the radical assemblages of Estonian artist Anu Põder (1947-2013), curated by Cecilia Alemani. The exhibition reflects the museum’s founding mission to champion avant-garde women artists who have been overlooked by the international art world.

Põder was a sculptor who charted her own path. While her counterparts were using precious materials like bronze and granite to portray the Soviet society’s ideals and icons, Põder employed textiles, wax, plaster, soap, plastic and wood to create sculptures that depicted the human form from within. Poignant, sensual and sometimes violent, her tangles of limbs and body parts highlight the transience of life and the frailty of the body. Take heed before you tear down the pistes.

Doing London Made Me Shop

The London Made Me shop is a retail store and a creative incubator rolled into one delightful Christmas package. Makers, artists and creatives from the Mayor of London’s Creative Enterprise Zones were tasked with learning the ropes of high street retail before building and trading in this collective space on Carnaby Street throughout December.

You can snap up the fruits of their labours, including limited-edition artworks, homewares, clothing, ceramics and gifts. Plus, visitors are encouraged to get in on the action via the store’s programme of workshops and events, including in-store live art murals, artist portrait sessions and more.
