Inaugural Visit: Carlos Schwabe

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.

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.

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.

18 February – 23 December

Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s herbarium, compiled in the 1770s for the printer-bookseller Charles-Joseph Panckoucke, is presented through preserved pressed specimens, its original catalogue and related botanical publications. The historical collection combines scientific observation and aesthetic arrangement, revealing Enlightenment approaches to collecting, classification and the popularisation of plant study. Detailed notes and annotations illuminate Rousseau’s techniques and the materiality of specimens, inviting reflection on how personal curiosity and scholarly networks shaped early modern natural history.

29 October 2025 – 31 May 2026

Pleasing the Spirits invites you on a journey through the Barbier-Mueller Collection, showcasing artworks from around the globe.

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

Curated by Matthias Sohr, Reserved for Groups brings together works by Florian Fouché, Mélody Lu, Xavier Robles de Medina, Orawan Arunrak, Florian Bonny, Stefania Carlotti, Chloé Delarue, Jean-Ulrick Désert, Marina Faust, Anne Duk Hee Jordan, Thomas Liu Le Lann, Pedro Marrero Fuenmayor, Lili Reynaud-Dewar, Kyung Roh Bannwart, Philipp Timischl, Ernie Wang, and Lauryn Youden. The exhibition explores subtle interventions within existing social and artistic contexts, presenting the artists’ work while making the gallery space more accessible.

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