Curated by Gaïa Jacquet-Matisse, "Through the Looking Glass" invites viewers to explore the concept of perceiving reality from alternate viewpoints, delving beyond the surface of things. The exhibition pays tribute to Lewis Carroll's novel "Alice in Wonderland," as well as the Olsen Kundig–designed Glass House that serves as the exhibition's venue.

As Alice embarked on a journey through the looking glass into a surreal and fantastical world, the artworks on display offer an unconventional and unique perspective on reality, urging viewers to go beyond what meets the eye. Art has the power to subvert our expectations and challenge our preconceptions, inviting us to embrace the unexpected.

By peering through the looking glass, we can unlock new dimensions of understanding and develop a greater appreciation for the beauty and complexity of the world we inhabit.
