Lucy Mackintosh

Lucy Mackintosh, Contemporary art gallery in Lausanne, Switzerland

Lucy Mackintosh was a commercial contemporary art gallery in Lausanne, open from 2004 to 2013 in premises previously occupied by the EPFL architecture department. Architects Jean-Gilles Décosterd and Philippe Rahm refurbished the exhibition space on a "white canvas" concept, running plumbing through the main room so its temperature could be adjusted to suit each function instead of using partitions.

The Lucy Mackintosh gallery opened in Lausanne in 2004 in premises previously occupied by the EPFL architecture department. Its exhibition space was refurbished by the architecture studio Jean-Gilles Décosterd & Philippe Rahm, using the concept of the "white canvas". In 2005 the space design was shown in the Can Buildings Curate exhibition by Newbetter and the Architectural Association School of Architecture. The gallery closed in 2013.

The gallery's name comes from Lucy Mackintosh, and its programme mixed solo shows of represented artists with group exhibitions and collaborations with national institutions or independent curators. Examples include News from Nowhere (2005), curated by Justin Hibbs, and Eau Sauvage (2006), curated by Juan Bolivar, Marco Costantini and Jean-Luc Manz, whose second part was shown in 2007 at the Fieldgate Gallery in London.

The gallery was a commercial space in Lausanne, not on the EPFL campus; it occupied premises previously used by the EPFL architecture department. It closed in 2013, so there is no visiting access today. The exhibition space was fitted out by Jean-Gilles Décosterd and Philippe Rahm with plumbing running through the main room, allowing its temperature to be adjusted according to the gallery's function.

The gallery's space was shown in the 2005 Can Buildings Curate exhibition by Newbetter and the Architectural Association School of Architecture, and again in a 2006 version of the project with the AA in London. Director Cyril Veillon described plumbing running through the main space, its temperature adjusted to suit the gallery's function.
