Histoires de rencontres offers a guided thematic exploration of glass as both material and cultural witness. The program focuses on glass objects, vessels, sculptural pieces and installations, highlighting techniques from traditional glassblowing to contemporary experimental practices. It traces encounters between makers, materials and collectors, revealing how technique and gesture shape form and meaning. The narrative emphasizes materiality, histories of craft and aesthetic dialogues that question how everyday and artistic objects mediate memory and social exchange.

3 July – 5 September

Chris Lovasoa Kauffmann presents a new body of work that explores architectural form and symbolic resonance through sculpture, painting and installation. Minimal geometries and textured surfaces negotiate scale and monumentality, while layered materials and subtle color shifts invite reflection on construction, memory and cultural lineage. The works balance rigorous formalism with tactile evidence of process, proposing an austere yet intimate meditation on how built forms shape perception and collective narratives.

Opening: Thursday 2 July, 18:00

2 July – 27 August

Tobias Kaspar (né en 1984 à Bâle, Suisse) est un artiste vivant et travaillant entre Zurich et Riga, ainsi qu’à Mesocco (Suisse) et Salacgrīva (Lettonie), où il dirige The Estate, deux résidences d’artistes et espaces d’exposition. Depuis près de vingt ans, sa pratique multidisciplinaire explore les systèmes à travers lesquels la valeur culturelle, l’auteurité, l’ambition et la signification sont produites et diffusées. À travers la photographie, le textile, l’installation, l’édition, la mode et la conception d’expositions, Kaspar fait souvent des mécanismes de la production culturelle le sujet même de son travail. Son œuvre a été présentée dans de nombreuses institutions internationales, notamment à Artists Space, Hamburger Bahnhof, Kunsthalle Basel, Kunsthalle Bern, MAMCO Genève et au Museum of Modern Art de Varsovie.

Opening: Thursday 2 July, 18:00

21 June – 21 September

Cécile Koepfli creates a site-specific window installation of colorful, poetic drawings. Mischievous characters, everyday objects, and fragments of text assemble into a playful, sensitive imaginary world. The works, rendered directly on window panes, unfold as tableaux and narrative vignettes that invite viewers to imagine the activities and encounters that will animate the space.
A seek-and-find game encourages close looking and slow discovery across the illustrated surfaces.

2 July – 12 September

Summer Vibes gathers six gallery artists whose works celebrate the season’s light, warmth and vitality. Through painting, sculpture, collage and installation, the show explores colour, atmosphere and emotional resonance. Lucia Hierro and Carlo D’Anselmi engage everyday materials and narrative, while Ben Aprea, Anna Fasshauer, Séverin Guelpa and Romane de Watteville investigate form, texture and spatial perception. The exhibition foregrounds colour relationships and materiality, balancing intimate gestures with immersive compositions.

21 May – 31 August

Senegalese artist Adji Diouf presents a solo exhibition of paintings that move between figuration and abstraction. Colour structures the compositions, with warm, luminous palettes where the gaze becomes an anchor in abstract fields. Recurrent cultural motifs emerge across canvases, informing a poetic and visual vocabulary. The show highlights the artist’s sustained practice and pictorial exploration of memory, identity and transmission through layered surfaces and rhythmic forms.

30 May – 27 September

This exhibition explores the careers of Édouard Naville, Switzerland’s pioneering Egyptologist, and his wife Marguerite Naville, whose contributions alongside him are now recognised in their own right. Through archival documents, excavation records and pharaonic objects, the presentation illuminates their archaeological practice and Marguerite’s role, while situating their work within the political, religious and humanitarian commitments that shaped scholarly life at the turn of the twentieth century.
