Since its foundation in the 1980s, the Centre Culturel Suisse de Paris
(CCSP) has been a focal point of Swiss culture in the French capital. It is
an important component of the local cultural scene and is recognized as
such. This book documents among others, outstanding shows such as
Swiss-Swiss Democracy by
Thomas Hirschhorn,
Guantanamo Initiative
by
Christoph Büchel and
Gianni Motti,
Architecture invisible by Philippe
Rahm, etc.
"The CCSP should be much more than just a showcase for Swiss cultural
'products'. It should be the embodiment of a particular mentality. A
mentality which is as liberal as possible, leaving room for differences
which stimulate the exchange of views and challenge debate, thus
participating in the global discourse on art today".
Michel Ritter, Artistic Director of the CCS Paris
