Furious Thinking

Art & Exhibits

Centre d'édition contemporaine

Furious Thinking presents works by Bachelor students from HEAD Genève’s Chroma option, examining the origins of their emerging artistic practice. Blurred memories, endless archives, accumulated collections and the ceaseless image feed converge in a room-like installation of personal effects: mutant PEZ, bigfoot slippers, jewellery, dice, cakes, a bed and stacked plastic chairs, alongside politics, family, distant mountain chants and a few monsters. The exhibition functions as exercise, rehearsal and edition, probing how images wound, soothe and shape authorship beyond the canvas.

Opening : Friday, April 17, 18:00 – 21:00.
Closing : Friday, May 8, 16:00 – 18:00 pm, including a listening session with Henry Rausch. In French

Childish Things and Oddities: Vertigo of a Collection

Art & Exhibits

L'Arcade

Presented from the private collection of Giuseppe Garrera and curated by Andrea Bellini and Giuseppe Garrera, this exhibition assembles an array of diminutive found objects — trinkets, charms, gadgets, toys, lucky charms and fragments of wood, cloth and glass — rescued from mundane life by artists’ gestures. Hovering between toy, everyday artefact and artwork, the presentation explores the thaumaturgic qualities of objects and childhood as a site of refuge and wonder.

Opening: Tuesday 28 April, 16:00 – 21:00

Natalia González Martín: Fruta y media tarde

Art & Exhibits

Galerie Sébastien Bertrand

Natalia González Martín presents eleven new oil paintings on panel that extend her sustained engagement with still life. Drawing on the visual language of Baroque and Counter-Reformation masters such as Juan Sánchez Cotán and Francisco Zurbarán, the works turn toward the ritual of sobremesa — the suspended time after a meal — and consider it as a gendered social space. Set against tenebrist backgrounds, plates, fruit, glasses and fragments of bodies emerge to reorient still life from display and possession toward duration, relation and the often-invisible labour of togetherness.

16 April – 16 May

Mémoire d’Homme

Art & Exhibits

Galerie Renaissance

Thénie Khatchatourian presents a body of works on paper that probes memory through constructed, symbolic figures. Using earthy pigments and delicate draftsmanship, her compositions combine bodies, geometric elements and vessel-like shapes that suggest both human presence and architectural form. Rather than literal narratives, forms repeat, transform and assemble to evoke continuity and transmission. Rooted in her Armenian cultural heritage, the work draws on ornaments, profiles and ritual motifs to connect past and present through a concentrated visual language.

Jessica Decorvet — Paysage Impossible

Art & Exhibits

Ferme de la Chapelle

Artist Jessica Decorvet presents an immersive installation and scenography centered on a monumental curtain that choreographs a shifting landscape. Through sculpture, textile and spatial interventions, the work stages transformations of perception and material histories, exploring entanglements between nature, cultivation and human intervention. The exhibition evolves over time with the staged unveiling of Néophytes, inviting reflection on emergence, adaptation and the politics of presence within constructed environments.
