Rez:urgence – Iris Leroyer

Iris Leroyer presents Rez:urgence, a series of material-based works exploring contemporary urgencies—ecological, social and philosophical. Working through matter and its memories, Leroyer probes tipping points between entropic decay and regenerative processes, where the living oscillates between collapse and resurgence. The exhibition gathers tactile, process-oriented pieces that reveal histories embedded in materials and invite reflection on emergence, imbalance and the possible forms of renewal. It forms a chapter of the artist’s Opus Carbone project at the intersection of art and ecology.

22 January – 9 May

This exhibition pays tribute to Clifford Possum Tjapaltjarri, a seminal figure of Australian Aboriginal art and a pioneer of the Western Desert painting movement. Drawing on Dreaming stories and the ancestral landscapes of his Anmatyerre heritage, Possum translated traditional sand and body painting motifs into monumental canvases that intertwine myth, geography and memory. His richly patterned, large-scale works balance Indigenous cosmology with a striking sense of modern abstraction, affirming his lasting influence on global contemporary art.

Opening during the Nuit des Bains, Thursday 22 January, from 18:00.

4 February – 4 March

Glacier(s) brings together the work of Bernard Garo and Jacques Pugin in a dialogue around mountain landscapes and the fragile presence of ice. The exhibition examines visual and conceptual responses to glaciers—their beauty, gradual transformation and the human imprint on these environments—offering a space for critical reflection. Works are presented alongside paintings by the young artist Albatros, whose canvases give a distinctive voice to mountain forms, in collaboration with FEDRE.

22 January – 28 February

Glazed Realities is a group exhibition curated by Vasilis Zografos that examines contemporary ceramic practices as instruments of storytelling, experimentation and transformation. Featuring works by Nacoca Ko, Fernando de la Rocque, Jan Steenman, Heberth Sobral and Irene Venetsanou, the show foregrounds ceramic surfaces as carriers of memory, social narrative and perceptual ambiguity. Through glazing, texture and material manipulation the artists deploy sculpture and object-based installations to probe materiality, luminosity, fragility and the interplay between form and human experience.

Opening during La Nuit des Bains, Thursday 22 January, from 18:00.

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.

9 October 2025 – 30 August 2026

The International Museum of the Red Cross and Red Crescent presents the first European solo exhibition of Guatemalan Maya Kaqchikel artist Angélica Serech (*1982). Pach’un Q’ijul (Temps entrelacés – Deep Time) intertwines ancestral weaving gestures with personal and collective memory, drawing on Serech’s history shaped by Guatemala’s civil war. Using self-built looms and natural materials like corn husks and branches, her works explore resilience, repair, and the deep ties between textile traditions and humanitarian action.

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.
