Feldenkrais Visit: Jean Tinguely Exhibition

Experience the Jean Tinguely exhibition through a kinesthetic approach that heightens awareness of body and space, guided by a Feldenkrais practitioner and a cultural mediator.

To mark the 100th anniversary of Jean Tinguely’s birth, the MAH celebrates the artist’s deep ties to the museum with a vibrant tribute. A restored kinetic sculpture—Si c’est noir, je m’appelle Jean (1960)—takes center stage, joined by a major donation of graphic works from the Niki Charitable Art Foundation. Echoing the spirit of Tinguely’s last exhibition at the Musée Rath in 1983, the show features over thirty mechanical sculptures and rarely seen works on paper, many connected to Geneva’s cultural history.

Xippas Geneva presents “Echoes and Fields”, a collective exhibition which brings together a selection of works by the gallery artists whose practices explore the porous edges between image and sensation, matter and memory. Through painting, sculpture, installation and fleeting gestures, the exhibition unfolds as a landscape of fragments—organic, intuitive, at times dissonant—where form becomes field and echo. As Geneva settles into its slowest season, the show embraces slowness as a way of seeing, and the group exhibition as a mode of resonance.

Opening on Thursday July 10, from 18:00 to 21:00 on the occasion of the Nuit des Bains.

L’Atlas, a Parisian trained in calligraphy in Morocco and Egypt, merges geometric abstraction with scriptural traditions to craft optical and enigmatic works. Rafael Sliks, hailing from São Paulo, blends graffiti and abstract style, inspired by urban chaos and nature, turning writing into a form of visual expression and escape.

The duo exhibition Memory Shelf by Gritli Faulhaber and Augusta Lardy Micheli invites viewers into a delicate dialogue between presence and absence. Their works, displayed side by side but never fully aligned, explore the edges of perception and meaning. Faulhaber’s large-scale collages evoke quiet, breath-held moments where absence speaks volumes, while Lardy’s paintings reveal sudden gestures born from long internal reflections. Together, they navigate the space between hesitation and revelation, inviting us to linger in what resists clear definition.

Opening on Thursday July 10, from 18:00 to 21:00 on the occasion of the Nuit des Bains.
