Crossed Perspectives brings together a collective of artists whose diverse practices and imaginaries intersect to explore identity, belonging and intercultural dialogue. Works by Bijan Moghbel, Fabien Bruttin, Gavin Worth, Gilles Dusabe and others employ painting, sculpture, installation and mixed approaches to examine materiality, colour and narrative. Curated by Momar Seck, the exhibition weaves contrasting techniques and personal histories into a shared field of reflection, inviting viewers to consider plurality as a living, generative force.
Geneva Lux stages a luminous parcours through the city centre and Old Town of Geneva, presenting for over twelve years an evening programme of light installations and live performances. Around twenty works transform public streets and historic architecture into immersive, often poetic environments. The festival foregrounds sensory and spatial experience, exploring how light reconfigures perception of urban space and winter, and how temporary interventions reveal layers of memory, intimacy and collective circulation in the nocturnal city.
The exhibition delves into the realism, drama, and emotional intensity of 17th-century Dutch artists influenced by Caravaggio. The works of Gerrit van Honthorst and Judith Leyster exemplify the bold use of light and shadow to capture everyday life with theatrical intensity. Their contributions left a significant impact on the art of the era, paving the way for new expressions of the human condition.
