Le verre, une matière mystérieuse

Booking Required

An exploration of glass as a mysterious material, the exhibition presents a range of glass objects, from delicate vessels and sculptural forms to immersive installations. It considers glass’s translucency, fragility and alchemical processes, highlighting technical processes, surface treatments and experimental approaches. The works evoke histories of craft and contemporary experimentation, questioning perception, light and materiality while revealing the interplay between function, ornament and conceptual inquiry.

There’s another Geneva beneath the Old Town. Descend under St Peter’s Cathedral to walk through more than 2,000 years of history, from pre-Christian remains to the city’s earliest churches. It’s one of those places you can walk past a hundred times without guessing what lies beneath.

17 September – 7 November

An exhibition presenting work by Garry Fabian Miller, Ptolemy Mann and Marit Tingleff, curated by Sarah Griffin. Across photography, weaving and ceramics, the show explores the darkroom, the dye lab and the kiln as sites of material transformation. The artists draw on deep embodied knowledge and long practice, using process, environment and material behaviour to shape outcomes. The works probe attention to texture, colour and time, revealing subtle relations between technique and the natural conditions that inform each practice.

The title evokes those micromovements that allow the body to endure, adapt, and transform—gestures sometimes imperceptible, yet profoundly meaningful.
