Salvatore Emblema – May 1972

May 1972 is an exhibition dedicated to Salvatore Emblema (Naples, 1929–2006), bringing together works produced between the late 1960s and the early 1980s. Across paintings, sculptures and installations, Emblema refines a conceptual language that interrogates materiality, form and temporality. The presentation highlights his experimental use of found materials, assemblage and reductive gestures, situating these works within postwar Italian avant‑garde practices and the artist’s evolving exploration of spatial and epistemic limits.

Lou Cohen — En attendant

Art & Exhibits

Palais de l'Athénée

Artist Lou Cohen presents a body of work that dialogues between still and moving images. Working with dry pastel, oil paint and short films, she stages interactions within the same installation, confronting static representation with motion. Her practice employs irony and darkly comic tones to translate everyday reality and prompt critical reflection. The works explore perception, narrative tension and the theatrical potential of materials, inviting careful viewing and reconsideration of what images can reveal.

Opening: Thursday 4 June, 18:00 (Salle Crosnier)

Meeting with the artist: Thursday 25 June, 18:00 (Salle Crosnier)

Chu Teh-Chun Prize Exhibition

Art & Exhibits

Le Cube – HEAD

Students from La Grande Boissière present a collective exhibition of visual art responding to the life and work of Chu Teh‑Chun. Through paintings, drawings and mixed‑media pieces, the show examines perseverance, multicultural influences and the role of self‑reflection in artistic practice. Works offer personal interpretations and visual languages that articulate each student’s perspective on form, colour and memory. A jury selects outstanding pieces and the overall winner receives an artist residency.

Opening and Prize Award Ceremony on Wednesday 10 June at 17:00.

28 May – 11 July

Anti-Gravity

Art & Exhibits

Halle Nord

Song Ruijin presents her first institutional solo exhibition, assembling a new series of paintings and ceramic sculptures within a site-specific installation. She constructs an unstable universe where the sky becomes ground and interior merges with exterior, populated by emoji-like figures that reflect individual alienation and the absurdities of digital capitalism. Through a syncretic visual language of accumulating imagery—sometimes comforting, sometimes unsettling—her sensory installations reveal logics of exploitation and control affecting human and non-human actors.

Opening: Thursday 28 May, 18:00

4 – 28 June

Art & Urban fest

Art & Exhibits

Village du Soir

Artists including Tibfromearth, Inkvizible and arelpnrli present a month-long program of site-specific visual and scenographic interventions that transform industrial surfaces into living artworks.
The exhibition brings together murals, installations, mixed-media interventions and live performance to explore urban transformation, material reuse and the politics of public space. Works invite discovery in alleys and reclaimed corners, revealing layered histories of the city and questioning how art redefines everyday environments.

Opening: 4 June, 18:00

22 May – 27 June

Carolina Fontana – Parallaxe

Art & Exhibits

Xippas

Carolina Fontana presents Parallaxe, a first solo exhibition in Geneva featuring paintings from her recent Z·E·N series. Produced through contemplative travels across Swiss cantons, Spain and China, the canvases blend figurative motifs with abstract formations to evoke a transcendent, Zen-informed sensibility toward landscape and the sublime. The works emphasise delicate brushwork, layered surfaces and meditative composition, inviting sustained attention to process, rhythm and the poetic interplay between presence and absence.

Opening: Thursday 21 May, 18:00

30 May – 27 September

Édouard and Marguerite Naville

Art & Exhibits

MAH

This exhibition explores the careers of Édouard Naville, Switzerland’s pioneering Egyptologist, and his wife Marguerite Naville, whose contributions alongside him are now recognised in their own right. Through archival documents, excavation records and pharaonic objects, the presentation illuminates their archaeological practice and Marguerite’s role, while situating their work within the political, religious and humanitarian commitments that shaped scholarly life at the turn of the twentieth century.

In French and in English.
