HT Kunstprojekt is an independent platform dedicated to curatorial practice, research, and the development of contemporary projects that integrate archiving, documentation, and artistic practices. Its work focuses on creating spaces of visibility, dialogue, and production for both emerging and established artists, with special attention to conceptual proposals and processes of cultural mediation.

Territories Alive Invitation-Only Exhibition Program
Territories Alive is a curatorial project developed by HT Kunstprojekt in collaboration with Fresa y Chocolate Gallery (Vevey, Switzerland). The exhibition proposes an expanded reading of territory as a living energy: each artwork, each gesture, and each material becomes an active space where identity, memory, and form intertwine.
This program is conceived as an ecosystem of artistic territories, where painting, photography, and sculpture engage in dialogue, tension, and mutual amplification. The gallery’s architecture —with its four distinct areas— allows each work to activate its own territory while contributing to a dynamic, evolving geography within the exhibition.
An Invitation-Only Project
Territories Alive is an exhibition exclusively for invited artists. Selection is made through direct invitation from the gallery, based on:
-
the dialogue established among the works,
-
technical mastery and solid execution,
-
the conceptual depth of each proposal,
-
and the relevance of each artist within the curatorial framework.
Some of the invited artists have previously collaborated with the gallery in fairs and exhibitions; others are new incorporations we wish to welcome into our program. All invitations are issued by HT Kunstprojekt, under the direction of Honys Torres.

FRAUENZONE VEVEY edition 2026
Is an exhibition program dedicated to making visible and activating contemporary practices developed by women artists in Switzerland and in transnational dialogues. The Vevey edition proposes a meeting space where women’s creation is articulated through the diversity of languages, generations, and territories, understanding artistic practice as a field of research, resistance, and cultural construction.
The project is structured as a zone of symbolic production, where artwork, archive, narrative, and mediation converge. Frauenzone does not seek to define a “female aesthetic,” but rather to open a territory for thinking about how women artists negotiate identity, body, memory, migration, affections, politics, and visual culture within the contemporary context.
The 2026 edition is developed in collaboration with Fresa y Chocolate Gallery (Vevey), integrating a program that combines exhibition, archive, documentation, and cultural mediation. The curatorial approach focuses on practices that expand the image—from painting, installation, and photography to hybrid processes, artist’s books, and editorial experimentation—articulating a critical reading of women’s artistic production in the present.
Frauenzone Vevey is conceived as a living archive, where each work and each artist contributes to a cartography in motion: a zone where women’s creation becomes visible, legible, and shared.
POP Expanded Vevey
Art Exhibition · 10–24 October 2026
POP Expanded is an exhibition that understands POP as a living, constantly evolving language deeply connected to contemporary visual culture. The show brings together painting, sculpture, photography, fashion, wearable art, video art, and digital media to explore how artists reinterpret their media, technological, and social environment through playfulness, irony, critique, and the visual saturation of the present.
Far from the classical iconography of Pop Art, POP Expanded proposes an ecosystem where digital immediacy, urban aesthetics, consumer culture, identity, humor, and artisanal resistance coexist. The exhibition celebrates both those who innovate through technology—AI, interfaces, animation, digital processes—and those who defend manual craftsmanship, painting, materiality, and tradition. Both positions engage without hierarchy, expanding POP in every direction.
POP Expanded invites visitors to inhabit a POP universe where images become atmosphere, garments become discourse, and objects become narrators of the present. It is a platform where art transforms into experience, gesture, memory, and noise, building a critical and aesthetic narrative of the now.
