The work of Luca Frei (Switzerland, 1976) explores the borders between art as an autonomous aesthetic practice and as a shared public process. It often takes the form of staged environments or structures that invite the public to participate and dialogue, while eschewing the ideological designs of grand utopian visions. Inspired by alternative pedagogical models, Frei elicits an active engagement characterized by play and associative thinking, privileging a learning process based on independent reflection and experience.
