VideoDatabase – 1st Carte Blanche : Éléonore Bernard

Conservator-restorer Éléonore Bernard presents a curated selection of pioneering video artworks from the 1980s and 1990s. The program gathers single-channel and experimental pieces that foreground the materiality of analog videotape: magnetic signal plasticity, audiovisual disturbances, image deconstruction, superimpositions and transparency.
Works range from introspective performances and bodily studies to subtle subversive gestures and feminist utopias, using montage, tape artifacts and layered imagery. The selection reveals how early video practices explored error, repetition and ritualistic modes of attention.

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 – 30 April

London-based artist Konstantina Krikzoni presents a body of paintings born from an intense solitary studio practice. Her work blurs painting and sculpture: textured, tactile canvases where brushwork and sculptural modelling interweave. Silent yet confrontational female figures occupy compositions in grey and yellow, evoking funerary motifs and the logic of memory and grief. ARMATURA functions as metaphor and method — an internal armature of endurance that shapes emotion into form through material exploration and sustained process.

23 January – 7 March

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.

23 January – 19 April

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.
