Don’t just like it, live it!
Claire Guanella presents a series of works titled Getting Robotic that anchors her practice in filiation and networks. Using a metaphor rich in polysemy, the works examine our real connections, sustaining living memory and an attentive regard for the always-terrestrial roots of technological transformation. The exhibition considers the interplay between inheritance, collective memory and invention, prompting reflection on how human ties and grounded origins shape our evolving relations with machines.
Studio Visits brings audiences into the workshops of a selection of Geneva-based artists, offering direct access to their production and research environments. Designed as moments of encounter and exchange, the series highlights diverse artistic approaches and methodologies while revealing the material and conceptual processes behind contemporary work. Participants gain insight into studio practices, works-in-progress and research strategies, fostering a deeper understanding of the themes and techniques shaping the local contemporary scene.

Veteran noise outfit Ramleh deliver an electric, rock-tinged set led by Gary Mundy on guitar, Stuart Dennison on drums, Anthony Di Franco on electric bass and Kevin Laska on synth. Their charged, abrasive sound blends distorted guitar, dense percussion and swirling electronics into a confrontational live experience. The evening continues with record selections by La Poya and Fuxy Lady, extending the event’s raw, underground energy.
Aldo Locatelli presents a diverse body of work spanning decades, rooted in experimentation and improvisation.
Paintings in oil, mixed-media pieces, ink drawings, sculptures, floral assemblages under plexiglas and repurposed objects converse through a tactile visual language. His practice moves between abstraction and figuration, privileging matter, color and gestural mark-making to explore observation, the living world and unexpected material affinities. The show reveals a restless creativity driven by curiosity, collage-like associations and continual recomposition.
Opening: Wednesday, 16 September, 18:00
Closing event: Sunday, 27 September, 17:00
Retsina Cola channels the raw intimacy of rebetiko, a Greek urban music born from Asia Minor exile. The young quartet, composed of Alexios Koutsourelis (bouzouki and vocals), Giorgos Goudousakis (guitar and vocals), Melina Vasiliki Paraskevopoulou (percussion and vocals) and Ioannis Christakopoulos (accordion and vocals), blends plaintive melodies, driving rhythms and close vocal interplay. Their repertoire navigates longing, thwarted love and social struggle, stirred by oriental spices and smoky textures that evoke tavern nights and collective memory.
Photographer Jörg Brockmann and ceramist Youlichka Fioramonti present a joint exhibition that transposes the human body onto porcelain through cyanotype processes. Brockmann’s images are photographed and printed onto film, then transferred onto light-sensitive porcelain plates before firing. Fioramonti’s ceramic practice engages this material translation, emphasizing the interplay of light, chemistry and fire. The works probe material transformation, the role of chance within analogue techniques and a dialogue between photographic form and crafted surface.
Students from the Centre de formation professionnelle en Arts (CFP Arts) present collective projects imagining Geneva in the second half of the twenty‑first century. Through garments, jewellery, ceramics, videos, comics, choreography, urban furniture, installations and digital or graphic works, they stage speculative scenarios—from utopian reinventions to dystopian provocations. Employing craft, performance, film and design strategies, the works probe technological, environmental and social futures, asking how everyday life, material culture and public space might be transformed.
Opening: Wednesday 9 September, 18:00.
