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 – 13 September

Luis Marques presents DEEP BLUE and INTERMITTENCES, two series of drawing-based works that transform line into landscape, rhythm and breath. DEEP BLUE offers expansive fields of blue where delicate marks build textured, contemplative seascapes. INTERMITTENCES reworks reclaimed screen-print test papers, letting traces, stains and accidents enter a patient process of repeated lines. Using pens, markers and even sewing thread, Marques negotiates control and chance, producing intimate topographies that meditate on time, repetition, memory and material transformation.

12 July – 1 October

Photographer Florian Luthi’s Fantômes Météores is inspired by the 1954 wave of UFO sightings across France, especially along the Franco‑Swiss border. From one of these accounts he revisits childhood landscapes—mist‑shrouded forests, deserted villages and the Jura—and composes a photographic narrative where truth wavers and legends endure. The series uses long exposures, muted palettes and staged absence to probe memory, collective fear and the boundary between documentary and myth. A collaboration with Fondation Convergences.

18 June – 19 September

Artist Gautier Hardy presents ‘Kids Garden’, a series of works that inhabit a territory between childhood and the adult world. Through open diary fragments and an instinctive plastic language that draws from art brut, street art and neo‑expressionism, the exhibition brings together paintings, drawings and mixed‑media pieces. The works explore memory, play, and the uneasy passage to adulthood, using gestural mark‑making and raw materials to evoke intimacy and emotional intensity.

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.

In French and in English.

11 August – 12 September
