HiFlow launches Quand le vivant nous fait agir, a year-long programme that explores how living systems can inspire new ways of thinking and acting. Bringing together artists, researchers, designers, entrepreneurs and thinkers, HiFlow becomes a space for experimentation and dialogue around more sensitive and sustainable futures. The first chapter, “Hybridations fertiles”, transforms the venue into a living laboratory through a collective exhibition, off-site projects, conferences, performances and workshops at the crossroads of art, design, life sciences and hybrid technologies.
Quickkopy Conceptualism explores transatlantic links between Bay Area Dada and punk through archival and contemporary works. Drawing on the Ecart archive and postal networks, it presents fanzines, collages, and audiovisual materials that challenge meaning, authority, and institutions.
Curated with visiting scholar Branden W. Joseph, the exhibition highlights DIY and epistolary practices within avant-garde communities.
Opening: Wednesday 13 May, 18:00
Measures of Infinity brings together works by Susanna Bauer, Frankie Gao and Carol Prusa in a contemplative exhibition of drawings, installations and meticulously crafted objects. Bauer transforms fragile leaves into intricate, almost meditative compositions; Gao offers pared-back drawings and open installations that evoke cosmic structures; Prusa constructs pieces informed by scientific models and unseen phenomena. Across scale and material, the show explores perception, precision and the tension between the intimate and the vast, inviting close looking and slow attention.
Fertile Hybridations explores the many forms of encounters and interweavings between humans, non-humans, knowledge systems, and temporalities.
Visitors are invited to inhabit the space, to question, to connect with these artist-researchers and designers, and—like them—to attempt to engage in dialogue and move beyond anthropocentrism, the idea that humans are at the center of everything. Instead, the exhibition encourages recognizing forms of intelligence or agency in other species, and building new relationships and exchanges.
Through this evolving exhibition, enriched by the intersection of art, design, and science, HiFlow becomes a living laboratory—a space for fertile alliances…
Meeting: Tuesday 16 June, 9:00 – 13:00 (in French)
Swiss artist Étienne Krahenbühl presents a contemplative exhibition of sculptural and mixed-media works that explore forms in motion and the generative forces of life. From earth and world emerge cracks, shifts and breaths that shape tensions and connections, underscoring our relationship with matter, nature and the human. The works mark passages between worlds and, through resonance, invite emotional and intellectual reflection on respect, singularity and coexistence.
Opening: Thursday 7 May, 17:00
Thénie Khatchatourian presents a body of works on paper that probes memory through constructed, symbolic figures. Using earthy pigments and delicate draftsmanship, her compositions combine bodies, geometric elements and vessel-like shapes that suggest both human presence and architectural form. Rather than literal narratives, forms repeat, transform and assemble to evoke continuity and transmission. Rooted in her Armenian cultural heritage, the work draws on ornaments, profiles and ritual motifs to connect past and present through a concentrated visual language.
