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.
