Sylvain Gelewski

Sylvain Gelewski is an artist and curator who graduated in Contemporary Art Practices from HEAD–Geneva, Switzerland, in 2019. His work encompasses painting, installation, writing, performance, and curating. He is interested in lists, colours, political events, neurodivergence, and the value of work, through a play between norms and their most superfluous details. From 2019 to 2022, he fought in groups for artists’ rights. From 2020 to 2023, he curated exhibitions at the Soul2Soul space. From 2021 to 2023, he co-founded a transdisciplinary project called Doppelganger Collective. From 2023 to 2025, he co-curated the Spielact festival. In short, if his various practices were to be arranged into one single form, it would probably be a Bento.
