Lou Cohen — Exhibition

Free

Artist Lou Cohen presents a body of work that dialogues between still and moving images. Working with dry pastel, oil paint and short films, she stages interactions within the same installation, confronting static representation with motion. Her practice employs irony and darkly comic tones to translate everyday reality and prompt critical reflection. The works explore perception, narrative tension and the theatrical potential of materials, inviting careful viewing and reconsideration of what images can reveal.

Opening: Thursday 4 June, 18:00

Sequences of Time

Art & Exhibits

Gowen Contemporary

Vladimir Kartashov presents site-specific installations that unfold across historic island spaces, exploring temporal sequences and memory. Through sculptural interventions, architectural adaptations and subtle interventions in sacred interiors, the artist stages a choreography of objects and light that reconfigures perception of place and time. The series juxtaposes material rigor with ephemeral gestures, inviting reflection on duration, ritual and the layered histories embedded in built environments.

Opening: Friday 8 May, 19:30

Surfaces

Art & Exhibits

Espace L

Surfaces brings together eight contemporary artists—Jörg Brockmann, Nicolas Delaroche, Teodelina Detry, Nacoca Ko, Mila Mayer, Maya Rochat, Julien Spiewak and Gabriel Wickbold—to examine the material and perceptual qualities of photographic surfaces. Works range from scratched negatives and sculpted prints to ceramic transfers and screen-based pieces. The exhibition foregrounds texture, tactility and the interplay of light and matter, considering how photographic supports shape memory, embodiment and the boundaries between analogue and digital practices.

Maral & 7OlM حلم

Art & Exhibits

Jus de Soleil

Maral and 7OlM (Paloma) present a dialogue between sound-inflected painting and fragile sculptural works. Maral, influenced early by figurative masters, returns to canvas after years in music, favouring black-and-white palettes and rhythmic gestures that transpose musical movement into portraiture and painted surfaces. 7OlM creates clay and plaster objects that emphasise coldness, fragility and resistance, often staged as ephemeral constructions. Together the exhibition examines transmission, temporality and the tension between disappearance and endurance.

Industry in a Thousand Points

Art & Exhibits

Quartier Libre SIG

Genevan artist Gérald Grosjean presents a focused series of paintings and handcrafted maquettes that examine industrial and railway landscapes. The show gathers twenty-seven canvases and three models made from reclaimed materials, emphasising a pointillist approach to structures such as stations, bridges, dams, factories and viaducts. Through meticulous dots and assembled found objects, Grosjean explores the aesthetic presence and collective memory of infrastructure, inviting reflection on material reuse and the visual poetry of engineered landscapes.

Opening : Tuesday 19 May, 18:00
