Silver Power – Women proud of their gray hair

Ghislaine Heger presents a photographic series of portraits that foreground 101 women from French-speaking Switzerland and their experiences of ageing and gray hair. Combining portrait photography with each subject’s own testimony, the work examines social expectations, gendered scrutiny and the intimate moments that surround a visible change.
The exhibition evokes questions of identity, dignity and resilience, offering nuanced, gentle accounts that reveal how personal histories intersect with broader cultural attitudes toward ageing.

Carlos Schwabe’s retrospective traces the symbolism and pictorial imagination that defined his practice. Trained in Geneva, Schwabe is celebrated for evocative book illustrations and ambitious pictorial compositions that blend allegory, myth and musical ideas. The exhibition presents paintings, illustrations and preparatory drawings drawn from public and private Swiss and French collections, exploring technique, materiality and the spiritual and literary currents that shaped his visual language around the turn of the twentieth century.

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.

4 October 2025 – 23 May 2026

The exhibition “Sauvages” at the Cité Library invites visitors to delve into the behind-the-scenes of Claude Barras’s film. It is divided into three sections that cover the ecological and cultural aspects of Borneo, reveal the creative and production processes of the film, and immerse the audience in the filming atmosphere through never-before-seen photos and testimonials. Original documents, drawings, travel journals, sets, and figurines enhance this immersive experience.

4 March – 3 April

An exhibition presents around sixty works from the Plan-les-Ouates Art Fund, featuring paintings, sculptures, works on paper and installations. Artists such as Ruth Baettig, Carine Bovey, Sarah Carp, Georges Dessouslavy and Maya Rochat explore repetition, materiality and form through varied techniques: collage, printmaking, ceramics, video and mixed media. The selection stages dialogues between generational perspectives and examines how multiples, process and everyday objects shape contemporary artistic practice.

30 January – 14 March

Adrien Mondot and Claire Bardainne present an interactive exhibition that blends visual and performing arts, placing the body at the heart of image-making. Combining handcrafted objects with digital devices, the duo uses augmented reality and holography to propose a form of digital animism: apparently motionless stones and objects reveal hidden life through poetic scenarios. The series ‘Le Silence des pierres’ pays homage to the agency and intimacy of life lodged in inert matter.

21 January – 22 March

Collectif Détente presents works that treat fabric and clothing as spectral carriers of memory. Through textile-based installations, sculptural garments, assemblage and a filmic element, artists including Ryan Gander, Meret Oppenheim and others probe domestic hauntings, hidden inheritance and collective fears. The show stages fragile, unsettling presences that revive interrupted stories and private traces, using material tactility and suspended forms to reveal how ordinary objects and living spaces keep visible and invisible histories in uneasy coexistence.
