Curated by Deli Projects (Jenny Baumat, Philippe Karrer and Benedikt Wyss)

Cherry-Go-Round was Deli Projects‘ inaugural exhibition. «We wanted to offer you a strange and wonderful spatial experience, so we invited Swiss artist Simon Deppierraz to create a brand new piece of work in situ here at Ecke Güterstrasse/Laufenstrasse. Deppierraz explores his environment through the interplay of gravity, tension and balance. We have invited a selection of other artists to frame and comment on his work. Deli Projects is a curatorial collective founded by Jenny Baumat, Benedikt Wyss and Philippe Karrer. Named both for the colourful neighbourhood shops found on every street corner in New York City, and for the sensitivity and caution implied by delicacy, we aim to offer our visitors not only a carefully chosen programme of work, but also to extend an invitation to artists, performers, musicians, dancers, theorists and creative people of every kind to meet in the exhibition space.»
