Zoe A. Keller and Batia Suter. Uqbaroxy

Zoe A. Keller and Batia Suter reactivate the Eranos Archive in a collaborative project that blends critical essay and photographic installation. Keller’s research interrogates archetypal image systems and proposes the concept of the “anarchetype” to unsettle fixed classifications, while Suter juxtaposes historical Eranos images with contemporary-period photographs. Together they examine ideological contradictions and heterogeneous visual encounters of the interwar archive, opening a fictional conceptual field that foregrounds the archive’s historical vulnerability and the politics of visual classification.

The exhibition brings together three artists, Nnena Kalu, Linda Bell and Marie Gyger, whose practices examine repetitive gesture as a daily discipline. Gyger reflects on the value of labour, while Bell and Kalu pursue more spontaneous, obsessive procedures. Their works, ranging from repetitive drawings and object accumulation to installations and assembled images, show how accumulation sculpts pictorial forms and material narratives, inviting reflection on labour, ritual and the construction of visual meaning.

Opening during Nuit des Bains, Thursday 12 March, 18:00.

16 April – 8 May

Presenting works by Julien Fournival, Théa Giglio and Chaolin Li, this exhibition draws on acts of recovery, diasporic narratives and ambiguous forms. Through found materials, sculptural interventions and time-based compositions, the project probes disjointed temporalities where memory and disappearance coexist. The artists intertwine material histories and personal fragments to question how objects and gestures carry traces across loss and migration.

Guided tours in French.

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.

17 April – 30 May

This exhibition presents portraits and personal testimonies of about twenty Swiss centenarians alongside results from the SWISS100 interdisciplinary research project. Photographs, audio testimonies, archival documents and data visualisations dialogue to reveal everyday realities of longevity. The display combines portraiture and research to challenge clichés, exploring memory, loss, care and social infrastructures that shape life after a hundred. Visitors encounter intimate narratives framed by scientific analysis and visual storytelling.

Opening: Thursday 16 April, 18:30 – 20:30

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.

12 March – 14 May

Gianni Motti is a Swiss conceptual artist known for blurring the boundaries between art, politics and everyday life. Often working through interventions, performances and symbolic gestures, he inserts himself into real-world situations—from institutions to public events—to question power, authorship and the role of the artist. His provocative and often humorous works invite audiences to reconsider what art can be and where it can happen.
