About the event
As part of Aude de Nexon’s exhibition at Aarlo u Viggo Gallery, Clara Barry has arranged Charlie Haden’s Silence for a vocal quartet.

Alongside an “exquisite corpse” of selected texts curated by Aude, the piece will be performed and recorded to accompany the exhibition.

To share the recordings, a series of screen-printed postcards will be created by Lorenz Boegli.

About
Silence, by Charlie Haden

"In 1977, Charlie Haden recorded Silence for the first time — a slow procession of measured chords unfolding into a vast stillness. With this piece, the bassist invented a kind of musical quiet in jazz — a refusal to be swept away by noise, a way to give weight to every inflection. The melody, unmistakably rooted in folk tradition, serves as a guiding thread — a distant echo of the radio show where, as a child, Haden would sing American folk songs with his family. He wasn’t yet ten. It was the late 1940s." (Le Temps)
 

For this project, Clara Barry revisits Silence through a new arrangement for vocal quartet. Her interpretation is interwoven with a line from Shakespeare — “If music be the food of love, play on” — drawn from Twelfth Night. The resulting piece takes on a baroque quality, shaped by the harmony, the instrumentation, and the poetic weight of the text.

Clara Barry

Clara Barry is a vocalist of American and Swedish origin.

Trained as a classical violinist from an early age, she later earned a degree from the Conservatoire à Rayonnement Régional in Paris. She holds a Master’s in Vocal Performance from the Haute École de Musique de Lausanne and a Master’s in Music Pedagogy from the Musik Akademie in Basel.

 

Her debut album, Clara Barry Sings Bartók (Claves Records), is a bold reimagining of Béla Bartók’s folk songs, blending tradition with innovation and infusing them with elements of jazz.

 

She has performed widely across Europe, with appearances at venues and festivals such as Sunset-Sunside, Bal Blomet, Puplinge Classique Festival, Zermatt Music Festival, and on Swiss National Radio (RTS).

 

Clara Barry also composes music for film, particularly short features, and develops multidisciplinary projects in collaboration with visual artists.

Aude de Nexon

Born in 1978 in Lille, Aude de Nexon lives and works between Lausanne, Paris, and Nouvelle-Aquitaine.
 

 

A multidisciplinary artist, her practice unfolds through gesture, movement, and voice, creating a deeply tactile and intuitive world. She studied applied arts at ESAAT in Roubaix, then trained in drama with Jean Périmony in Paris. Early in her career, she was directed by Niels Arestrup, Édouard Molinaro, and Alexandre Astier, and shared the stage with François Rollin and Édouard Baer, performing at venues including the Théâtre du Rond-Point and the Festival d’Avignon.

Alongside her work in performance, she spent over a decade in cinema as a set decorator and location manager, collaborating with leading production designers on films by Bertrand Tavernier, Catherine Corsini, and Tonie Marshall. Immersed in cinematic storytelling and visual language, she developed a refined sensitivity to space and material.
 

Since settling in Lausanne in 2019, Aude de Nexon has returned to the studio and embraced a painting practice grounded in traditional media — oil, charcoal, watercolor, and pastel. Her work investigates the imprint of the body, the breath of movement, and the memory of gesture, drawing from her background in theater and contemporary dance to inform a deep spatial awareness.
 

 

Her exhibition at Aarlo u Viggo marks her first collaboration with a gallery, following a solo show and participation in a group exhibition at two independent art spaces in Lausanne.

Aarlo u Viggo

“Born into a family deeply rooted in the arts,

Camille Eléonore Tellenbach-Montandon made a long-held dream come true by opening a gallery in a former family apartment.
 

 

The granddaughter of a gallerist, journalist, and art critic, and the daughter of an architect and a painter, Camille has always been immersed in the art world. The idea of opening her own gallery had been on her mind ever since her grandparents' closed theirs. When an apartment in the family home unexpectedly became available last autumn, she seized the opportunity.
 

 

Located on the first floor of a historic house in the heart of Buchillon, the new gallery, Aarlo u Viggo, stands out for its warm and intimate atmosphere — old walls, polished wooden floors, and a view of the lake. The former apartment’s rooms naturally lend themselves to small-scale exhibitions, each space hosting works by a different artist — all friends of the gallerist. “Seeing artworks on these smaller walls makes it easier to imagine them in your own living space,” Camille notes with a keen sense for curation and presentation.

 

In this intimate setting, it’s not unusual to come across artists like Ondine Jung and Jean-Marie Reynier deep in conversation about upcoming projects — in what used to be a bedroom, now transformed into a meeting and exhibition room. The couple, who also run the gallery’s communications through their studio, L’Agence du Lion d’Or, add another creative layer to this collaborative and welcoming environment."

Lorenz Boegli

Lorenz Boegli is internationally renowned as an innovative screen-printing artist. With passion, experience and technical excellence he has pushed the limits of what screen-printing can do, for example through his development of the additive four colour RGB print.
 

 

In general, “screen-printing offers great opportunities to express and integrate your personality into your work,” he says. “I work very emotionally, since putting a lot of emotion into it differentiates my work.” Since 1981, Lorenz has explored the possibilities of screen-printing in its various forms, helping artists and designers worldwide realise their visions in pigment and paper.
