Bloch ready for Chile
After a long process of clarification and negotiation, today Bloch got picked up from the transportation company in its storage place in Rawsonville/South Africa. After fumigation in the port of Cape Town, Bloch will be packed in a container and will leave the African continent next week on the vessel “Santa Barbara”. After stopovers in Gibraltar and Panama, Bloch is expected to arrive in Antofagasta/Chile End of May, where Bloch is an official part of the Festival de arte contemporaneo SACO8 this summer.

Historic Bloch photography
This year Com&Com decided to visit the original custom in Urnäsch, where everything began eight years ago. We brought the talented photo artist Ueli Alder with us who took some pictures of us with the Bloch Society with his old 5x7inch black and white plate camera. We are happy to present a first preview:
Bloch is going to Chile!
Good news: Bloch is soon back on the road (or better: boat). Next destination: CHILE.
We got invited to be part of the Festival de arte contemporaneo SACO8 in Antofagasta/Chile this Summer.
Currently Bloch is prepared by Roger Gentinetta and his son for the shipping to South America. Bloch was stored almost a year in Rawsonville outside Cape Town with the Le Roux-Family. – Thank you all for taking good care of our Bloch!
– Chile, estamos aquí pronto!
