At Art Monte Carlo 2025, the Sigg Art Foundation unveiled Bloom as a Gesture, a curated exhibition exploring the poetics of floraison as a symbol of material and conceptual emergence. Featuring works by Dana-Fiona Armour, Léa Collet, Salomé Chatriot, Ben Elliot, Mamali Shafahi, and Sougwen Chung, the presentation affirmed our mission to support forward-thinking artists who reimagine heritage through technological and aesthetic innovation.
Held at the Grimaldi Forum, Art Monte Carlo stands as one of Europe’s leading fairs, bringing together renowned institutions and visionary contemporary programs in an intimate setting on the Riviera. For its 2025 edition, the fair invited the Sigg Art Foundation as a special project, offering a space for experimental dialogue.
With Bloom as Gesture, the Sigg Art Foundation presents a constellation of works that speak to growth, not only botanical but also personal, technological, and collective. From cast glass to generative prints, living plants to sculpted illusions, each piece explores what it means to be in bloom today: to transform, to hybridize, to evolve.
Echoing our mission to nurture emerging creatives and to foster dialogue between craft and computation, this selection captures the fragile strength of forms in transition. These are not static flowers but unfolding processes, gestures of becoming that question how we shape beauty, memory, and identity in a world on the cusp of reinvention.
