His work has been featured in the Kochi-Muziris Biennale, India; the 12th Biennale de Lyon, France; and the 13th International Architecture Exhibition, Venice, among others. In 2013 and 2015, Charrière was awarded the Kiefer Hablitzel Award / Swiss Art Award, and in 2018 was the recipient of the GASAG Art Prize. Born in Morges, Switzerland in 1987, Charrière currently lives and works in Berlin.

The Rail has a tradition of ending our conversations with a poetry reading, and we’re fortunate to have Matt Reeck reading.
