The Tender Buttons exhibition offers a multidisciplinary exploration centered on buttons, delving into their identity and historical significance. Featuring over three hundred ceramic and glass buttons, the exhibition interacts with the museum’s works to highlight their role in both formal experimentation and socio-cultural narratives.

The ASL is marking its 45th anniversary with the immersive exhibition “Léman, l’éveil d’un peuple” (Léman, the Awakening of a People). This exhibition chronicles the fierce battle to rescue Lake Geneva from suffocation between the 1960s and 2000, driven by the collective efforts of associations, scientists, fishermen, journalists, and institutions. It offers a journey filled with documents and personal accounts, reminding visitors of the power of individual action in protecting the lake. The event features a variety of activities suitable for all ages, including fun missions for children, conferences, and guided tours. It also highlights the lake’s current challenges and encourages active engagement in its preservation.
Taste Contemporary is pleased to present Altered States; a two-person exhibition featuring the work of Belgian ceramic artist Anne Marie Laureys and Italian fine art photographer Costanza Gastaldi. In this exhibition, ideas within both practices are brought into dialogue with each other as each artist invites us into a space where forms are fluid, unstable, and metamorphic. Sculptures and images appear still, yet remain intensely alive, as we enter a world where matter is shifting, dissolving, and is perpetually remade. Anne Marie Laureys’ vessels are recognizable and strange at the same time. Like nocturnal visions, Costanza Gastaldi images exist in a place where the boundaries between perception, sensation and memory dissolve.
Opening: Thursday 13 November, 18:00 – 21:00
