The Verbier 3-D Foundation is proud to unveil a new in situ work by this year’s artist-in-residence, Cannupa Hanska Luger, displayed in the sculpture park. During his six-week residency in the alpine village of Verbier, Luger immersed himself in the landscape and the Bagnes community, using his multidisciplinary practice to explore the complex relationships between people and places. His time in Verbier served as a space for reflection on ecological awareness, cultural heritage, and community responsibility. Drawing on Indigenous knowledge systems and material histories, Luger’s new work engages with the region’s unique environmental heritage and the evolving relationship with the land and its resources. By weaving connections between local and global narratives, the artist invites us to imagine a future shaped by deeper connections, responsibility, and collective courage. Schedule 10:30 – Meet at Médran in Verbier (please bring your ski pass) 11:15 – Walk to the sculpture site, followed by a brief presentation by the artist 11:30 – Drinks and informal gathering 12:30 – End of event Please wear comfortable clothing, hiking shoes, and don’t forget to bring water.
