MAMCO x SaSA x Joana Hadjithomas & Khalil Joreige

The presentation brings together works such as Palimpsests, Time Capsules and Trilogies, ranging from installations to photographic and film-based pieces. Working with archaeologists and adopting geological methods, the artists probe subterranean messages, historical ruptures and continuities, and the human and climatic forces that shape possible narratives. The exhibition foregrounds layered temporality and the politics of memory.

Conceived by artist Pauline Coquart, Short Ass Attention Span #3 mixes literary experiment and live performance, assembling texts that range from apocalyptic sketches to risqué autofiction and political essays on sexuality. Editors and collaborators Ethan Assouline and Gaia Vincensini shaped the selection and the edition’s visual identity, while attentive editorial direction and inventive layout treat writing as performative material. The project foregrounds plural contemporary voices, shifting between intimate confession, sharp aphorism and sprawling narrative to create a charged, porous atmosphere.

10 October – 8 November

Stéphane Ducret presents Being Matters, an immersive series of recent paintings that map psyche and the living realm. The presentation gathers seven large to very large oil paintings on linen alongside a series of small-format works on wood. Through layered surfaces, deliberate errors and a dense pictorial process, Ducret explores invisible mechanisms of thought, memory and introspection. The works function as atmospheric studies of materiality and painterly gesture, charting states of mind and organic presence.

8 October – 21 November

Mirella Jaworska’s first solo exhibition presents paintings from 2026 that conjure the uncertain light of waking, when dream and reality blur. Drawing on early Renaissance masters and Japanese painting, Jaworska composes intimate tableaux populated by faces, flowers, skulls, cigarettes and studio objects, alongside recurring figures such as a jockey, a sphinx and a chair pierced by a heart. Her layered brushwork and muted palette explore memory, loss and melancholic reverie.

Opening : Wednesday 7 October

8 October – 29 August

Humanitarian, by Design? explores the often-overlooked role of design in humanitarian action, from objects and emergency shelters to maps, images and digital technologies. Bringing together nearly 200 objects—most presented to the public for the first time—the exhibition examines how design shapes the way crises are experienced, managed and represented. Across three perspectives—objects, spaces and imaginaries—it reveals both the creative potential and the tensions embedded in humanitarian design. A multidisciplinary exhibition that questions how design can support care, dignity and resilience in times of crisis.

Permanent exhibition

4 June – 25 October

Sylvia Sleigh’s retrospective pairs the artist’s figurative painting with ‘Refaire collection’, a polygraphic project offering a feminist rereading of art-history canons. Sleigh, a Welsh painter active in New York, is known for reversing gendered norms—placing the male nude where the female traditionally appears—and for portraits of the 1960s–70s New York art community. ‘Refaire collection’ gathers Swiss holdings and works by artists such as Louise Bourgeois, Meret Oppenheim, Pipilotti Rist, Joan Semmel and the Guerrilla Girls across painting, sculpture, video, drawing and photography.

Opening: 4 June 18:00
