Swiss Landscapes

Eric Eriston Winarto presents a body of small oil paintings that treat the Swiss landscape as memory and pictorial research. Executed largely in A4 format, these fragmentary paintings—hills veiled in smoke, metallic roads, nocturnal scenes with phantom headlights, bluish forests—oscillate between observation and abstraction. Drawing on the legacy of Turner and Hodler, Winarto probes perception, tension and balance, using controlled yet enigmatic brushwork to suggest storms, glaciers and mist. The project questions how intimate, poetic images emerge from fleeting atmospheric states.

Architecture of Memories is a two-person exhibition by German artist Alina Frieske and Swiss artist Tobias Nussbaumer. Frieske reworks fragments of online imagery into digital collages that question image production and contemporary visual culture. Nussbaumer constructs layered virtual and architectural spaces through detailed pencil and ink drawings based on personal archives. Together their works probe how images configure memory, spatial perception and identity, juxtaposing digital fragmentation with meticulous draughtsmanship.

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

Mitchell Anderson presents a new edition and bodies of work examining the legacy of post‑war astronautics. Drawing on graphite relics from a V‑2 rocket, children’s drawings and mural motifs, the exhibition stages colour‑in pages alongside wall drawings and hybrid objects that hover between craft and ready‑made. Mixed‑media pieces employ encaustic, embroidery and hand‑written texts to interrogate the rocket as an icon that condenses both promise and violence, situating technological histories within intimate material registers.

25 March – 5 April

Curator Christophe Piette presents a carte blanche program assembled from a moving-image archive, juxtaposing video works, digitized files and archival ephemera. The selection spans historical and contemporary practices, using screenings and installation formats to probe preservation, circulation and public access to media collections. Through an exchange between institutions across cities, the presentation questions how curatorial gestures reveal institutional histories, the materiality of moving images and the tensions between conservation and renewed public visibility.
