Subtle Ballet of Nuances – Luis Marques

Luis Marques, artist and architect, examines his intimate relationship with water through abstract landscapes and text-infused works. Using repeated line, handwritten fragments and layered marks, he constructs an introspective journey that invites contemplative immersion.
The pieces evoke both Lake Geneva and the Atlantic glimpsed from his native Portugal, drawing on the depth of blue and the moving surface of water. By integrating adolescent texts, Marques frames a gentle choreography where line becomes migration and memory is rendered as drawing.

The exhibition invites you on a journey through anatomical models, casts, waxworks, and illustrated antique books.

This is a collaboration with the University of Geneva. Some images may not be suitable for younger or sensitive audiences.

16 January – 7 March

Beat Zoderer’s first exhibition with lange + pult in Geneva presents a new series of works inspired by the economy of haiku. In these small-format pieces, the artist translates brevity, precision, and tension into the pictorial field through grids and modular patterns. Layered, translucent colors create subtle depth and shifting perceptions, while recurring square motifs generate a restrained yet vibrant rhythm. Rooted in concrete art, the series stands out for its quiet, almost meditative quality, where meaning emerges from the balance between form, color, and visual silence.

Opening on Thursday 15 January, from 18:00.

20 January – 7 March

Association NoOps (No Planned Obsolescence Switzerland) presents a travelling display that foregrounds the materiality of our phones. Through two vitrines and a selection of recovered components, the exhibition points to the precious metals embedded in devices and to “urban mines” hiding in drawers. Combining didactic panels, curated specimens and small installations assembled from reclaimed circuitry, it examines resource extraction, waste and value in contemporary consumer electronics, asking how reuse, repair and awareness can reframe our relationship to everyday technologies.

23 January – 7 March

11 – 22 February

Véronique Déthiollaz and Guy Schibler present a dialogue between drawing and photography that confronts mortality through laughter, desire and celebration. Déthiollaz’s graphite, occasional pastel and ink drawings deploy ironic, grotesque figuration—mocking skeletons and humbled reapers—while Schibler’s photographic series documents funerary sculpture and cemetery vistas that reveal provocative sensuality. Together the works probe how humour, eroticism and festivity resist oblivion, refusing pain through visual excess and theatricality, and interrogate cultural attitudes toward death, embodiment and memory.

28 January – 15 March

Swiss artist Grégory Sugnaux presents a body of paintings that stage ambiguous, often hybrid figures—part human, part animal, serial androids and distorted, sometimes monstrous bodies. Combining grotesque allusion with ironic self-reflection, he mixes genres and pictorial techniques to render surfaces alternately smooth and vibrating, fracturing legibility.
A composed soundtrack threads through the installation, amplifying the exhibition’s uneasy pulsation. The works negotiate a fragile balance between fascination and self-critique, revealing vulnerability beneath playful, unsettling imagery.
