Accrochage [Vaud 2006] &
Yves Mettler, Prix du Jury 2005

The Musée Cantonal des Beaux-Arts of Lausanne presented the fourth edition of its annual exhibition dedicated to the contemporary Vaud art scene.

A showcase of recent works by artists from different generations, selected through an open call by a jury of professionals. The first three editions of this initiative, launched in 2003, highlighted the significance of this event for both the regional and national art scene. Its success—the growing number of participants, the increasing quality of the selected works, and the loyalty of visitors—demonstrates the relevance of such an exhibition, whose founding goal is to shine a light on the Vaud artistic community.

For this fourth edition, 219 artists from Vaud or working in the canton responded to the invitation, submitting 455 paintings, sculptures, prints, videos, and installations. The jury, composed of art historian Stéphanie Bédat, Philippe Pirotte (director of the Kunsthalle Bern), artist Didier Rittener, and artist Jean Scheurer, selected 78 works, which were then curated for exhibition in the museum space.

The Jury Prize for the 2006 edition was awarded to David Hominal (*1976).
