Gianni Motti is a Swiss conceptual artist known for blurring the boundaries between art, politics and everyday life. Often working through interventions, performances and symbolic gestures, he inserts himself into real-world situations—from institutions to public events—to question power, authorship and the role of the artist. His provocative and often humorous works invite audiences to reconsider what art can be and where it can happen.

Estampe or dessin? This exhibition examines color engraving in the 18th century through selected prints, drawings and rare books from the collection. It traces emerging techniques—aquatint, color etching and hand coloring—that made images more legible and allowed faithful reproductions of paintings. Works range from intimate drawings to vividly worked estampes, exposing the visual strategies used to circulate ideas and images. A highlighted work by Pierre-Michel Alix (Guillaume Tell, 1794) illustrates the period’s technical and aesthetic aims.

An invitation to an artistic passage, this project transforms a strategic underpass into a painted fresco and links to a shore-side signal installation. The tunnel mural is realised by the Artmur collective (Julien Scalabrino, Tiffany Sibra and Celestin Tanari), while the Signal installation was conceived by Max Bondu with architects Charles Bouscasse and Marion Mouny as part of the Veiller au grain project, self-built in the Bermuda workshops. The works explore movement, thresholds and dialogue with the riverside.

28 March – 10 May

MAMCO presents Dial‑A‑Poem Switzerland, a telephone-based poetic broadcasting project inspired by John Giorno. The installation transforms a decommissioned phone booth into a listening station, gathering recorded voices from across Switzerland’s linguistic regions. The programme features contributions by poets and artists exploring language, public space and oral transmission, alternating recorded and live readings. Conceived with Giorno Poetry Systems, the project foregrounds voice as material and communal listening as a poetic practice.
