Zoe A. Keller and Batia Suter present a collaborative project that reframes the Eranos archives—about 3,000 archetypal images compiled by Olga Fröbe-Kapteyn and held at the Warburg Institute—as material for critical and photographic inquiry.
Taking the form of a critical essay and a photographic installation, the work questions and re-signifies these images, confronting their entanglement with universalist and violent ideologies. The artists propose the notion of the ‘anarchétype’ to reveal archetypal figures as unstable cultural constellations.

Out of the Blue brings together Norwegian ceramicist Heidi Bjørgan and textile artist Kari Dyrdal in a sustained dialogue between ceramics and woven textiles. Bjørgan reworks familiar jug and vessel archetypes until they appear melted or imploded, using multiple firings and distinctive glazes to expose cracks, shifts and unpredictable reactions. Dyrdal examines memory, pattern and structure through handwoven, hand‑dyed pieces that marry traditional craft with digital processes, yielding tactile and conceptual depth.

The MAH showcases Tonutopie, an innovative installation by German artist Hans-Walter Müller, a trailblazer in inflatable structures. This large, transparent, and habitable sphere, nestled within Vincent Lamouroux’s La Passerelle, offers a unique sensory experience.

Terre de Crète presents a photographic exploration of portraiture and its limits. The series transplants specimens of Cretan flora onto small mounds of earth, arranged and lit in a studio-register that evokes Irving Penn’s restrained still life. Through meticulous composition and tactile detail, the works probe the border between botanical study and human portrait, inviting reflection on staging, scale and the politics of representation.

Ernest Pignon-Ernest, born in 1942 in Nice, is considered one of the pioneers of street art. Through life-sized charcoal drawings pasted directly onto city walls, he creates powerful encounters between his human figures and the urban spaces they inhabit. Deeply engaged with social and political issues, his work reflects historical and contemporary struggles while maintaining a strong poetic and human presence.

This thematic exhibition examines how street-name plaques conceal biographies, choices and memories that shape Carouge’s identity. It highlights figures commemorated in the urban fabric—political actors, artists and local personalities—through photographs, archival documents and works from the museum collection.
Combining historical records and visual materials, the show reconstructs the city’s transformations and collective memory, questioning how naming practices inscribe social values and local histories into everyday streetscapes.
