Programme
Artists
Mischa Dickerhof, born in Bern in 1962, lives and works in Biel. After attending the School of Design in Biel, he worked as a freelance photographer, spent time in Barcelona and New York, was involved in music, songwriting, recording studio work and concert organisation, and returned to photography in 2014.
At E19, Mischa Dickerhof exhibited the black-and-white image *Rear Window – Shot Again, Again and Again*.
Monika Loeffel is an artist from Kallnach. She has a professional background in the medical sector and turned to art in 1997; her work includes installations, paintings, site-specific projects and the artist duo baderloeffel, which she forms with Beatrice Bader.
Monika Loeffel presented the ‘Phoenix’ installation at E19. Her practice spans installation, painting, site-specific work and participatory art formats.
Ruedy Schwyn, born in Zurich in 1950, has lived and worked as a freelance artist in Nidau since 1989. Alongside his visual art, he works as a colour consultant and set designer and is active on cultural committees; in 2009, he was awarded the City of Biel’s Culture Prize. His practice centres on perception, the body, material, colour and the nature of existential questions.
At E19, Ruedy Schwyn presented *Tierra-X*, a series of works reflecting on the behaviour of primary planetary materials and natural forms in Cabo de Gata and the Tabernas Desert in southern Spain.
Jean-Denis Zaech is documented as an artist associated with the Atelier de Gravure Moutier. The records there mention his training as a sculptor at the Écoles des beaux-arts in Sion and Basel, with a focus on engraving and sculpture.
Jean-Denis Zaech exhibited the work *Images* at E19. This entry has been kept deliberately brief, as the sources primarily relate to his training, printmaking and exhibition context.
Concert

Brynjar Thorsson, also known as Cochon Double, is a singer-songwriter and musician based in Biel/Bienne. As a one-man band, he blends chanson, rock and ambient soundscapes with French-language lyrics that oscillate between fatalism and black humour. His releases include albums on Hummus Records (Bruxisme, En attendant de mourir, Chansons moralistes).
At the closing event on 31 May 2026, Brynjar Thorsson will perform solo as Cochon Double, accompanied only by his voice and guitar – French-language pieces ranging from quiet anger to unintentional humour, carried by a soft voice delivering fatalistic lyrics.
