Almost tender – Visit with Samuel Gross

Swiss artist Grégory Sugnaux presents Almost tender, a series of paintings on canvas that inhabit an ambiguous atmosphere of strangely familiar figures and layered references. Across canvases he negotiates a fragile balance between fascination and self-critique, deploying figuration, tonal contrasts and controlled brushwork to probe intimacy and unease.
The exhibition privileges psychological encounters: it evokes shifting perceptions of identity and the unsettled spaces between light and shadow. A guided curatorial perspective by Samuel Gross highlights the works’ tensions and interpretive openness.

Opening Thursday 22 January, from 18:00.

Projects by five finalists from HEAD–Genève are presented alongside the work of Mohamad Khamis in an exhibition of installations that probe sharing and engagement. The pieces employ spatial and conceptual strategies to explore collective practices, interpersonal exchange and forms of commitment. The show foregrounds emerging artistic voices, using installation as a platform for material inquiry and civic reflection, and invites careful attention to the ways artworks stage social relations and ethical questions.

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.

22 January – 7 March

La Cuisine des Collectionneurs is a convivial, evolving exhibition where contemporary art meets gastronomy. The project invites four collectors to curate walls from their personal collections. It blends scenography, shared collecting, and a collective display, extended into the kitchen through an ephemeral menu inspired by their worlds. Conceived as a living space, the exhibition unfolds with talks, meals, and gatherings over time, celebrating exchange, generosity, and the pleasure of art—on the walls and on the plate.

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.

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.
