MB&F’s M.A.D.Gallery is now open in Geneva on Rue Verdaine, a stone’s throw from their offices and atelier in the heart of the city’s old town.
Inside the gallery, not only will you find the complete range of MB&F’s Horological Machines, but you’ll also have the pleasure of discovering carefully-curated pieces – or, as MB&F like to call them, Mechanical Art Devices – from around the world, each one making your heart beat that little bit faster. There are amazing ‘Machine Lights’ from Berlin-based Frank Buchwald; beautiful hand-blown hour glasses by superstar designer Marc Newson; striking metallic sculptures by Chinese artist Xia Hang; and cheeky kinetic creations crafted by Laikingland, an artist-engineer team with a quirky sense of humour. The collection evolves continuously, with new arrivals already planned throughout the year. MB&F created the M.A.D.Gallery in order to situate their Horological Machines in an appropriate context and along the way they have discovered kindred spirits in the world of kinetic art. MB&F Founder and Creator Maximilian Büsser explains the concept behind the gallery and the common thread running through the fascinating pieces in the collection: “We saw the M.A.D.Gallery as the perfect platform to showcase our own Machines as well as other pieces of kinetic art by other creators whom we greatly admire. Thanks to the M.A.D.Gallery we are meeting like-minded artists operating in parallel worlds; people who think like us and share our passion for creating kinetic art.”
