Through archival photographs, site plans and excavation notebooks, this exhibition traces sixty years of Swiss archaeological research in Sudan, from the fourth millennium BCE to the Meroitic era. It presents work conducted at Tabo, Akasha, Kerma — including the Deffufa — and Doukki Gel, highlighting discoveries, field methods and the material traces of long-term study.
Geneva-based artist Christian Robert-Tissot transforms everyday words, slogans and street expressions into bold visual artworks. By shifting these familiar phrases out of their usual context, he reveals their rhythms, ambiguities and hidden meanings, turning ordinary language into playful reflections on daily life.
Opening during the Nuit des Bains, Thursday 12 March, 18:00.

“Métamorphose.” The exhibition aims to bring together artists and artworks inspired by the theme of spring in all its forms and interpretations. Each artistic contribution brings a distinct voice to this shared reflection on transformation and renewal.
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.

With Rien ne sert de courir, Didier Merlin presents suspended images that hover between snapshot and staged tableau. His enigmatic figures appear trapped beneath glossy glass, frozen between appearance and disappearance.
Working in reverse glass painting since the 1990s, he builds images backward; since 2019 acrylic glass and drypoint engraving have expanded scale and sharpened his line. The exhibition combines painting, engraving and hybrid techniques to explore mediation, fragmented narrative and the porous boundary between intimacy, collective memory and imagined reality.
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.
