Bordermeetings: Between the Lines

Art & Exhibits

Fondation WRP

Swiss artist Anna Grichting Solder presents a multidisciplinary investigation of borders as liminal, ecological and mnemonic zones.
Combining architectural drawings, models, palimpsest chess sets, videos, sound compositions, publications and archival material, the exhibition maps how social, cultural and ecological forces intersect across divided territories. Drawing on research in Berlin, Belfast, Nicosia, Korea and the Balkans, Grichting proposes borders as sites for healing, transboundary environmental initiatives and participatory design, and evokes how memory and imagination reconfigure contested landscapes.

L’ordre mis en jeu – Gerhard Hotter

Art & Exhibits

La Galerie 38

German artist Gerhard Hotter (born 1954) presents a survey of works that unfolds across five decades, exploring play as a mode of learning and experimentation. Early paintings from the 1980s evoke inner labyrinths populated by chess pieces, playing cards and miniature toys; later works evolve into modular constructions inspired by Bauhaus toys, privileging pure form, volume, colour and combinable structures. Hotter employs Langford sequences as compositional tools, situating his practice within concrete art where order becomes an active, playful principle. Recent pieces expand this enquiry through relief, light and spatial interventions.

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

Methodical Process

Art & Exhibits

Lovay Fine Arts

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.
