GemGenève presents an exhibition curated by Pauline d’Abrigeon, exploring the interplay between artisan hands and rare mineral and organic materials. The show brings together over a hundred loaned objects — jade, coral, onyx, agate, amber, tortoiseshell and more — alongside nearly forty works from the Baur Foundation.

Nicolas Ponce — We Will See Each Other Again in August

Art & Exhibits

Palais de l'Athénée

Artist Nicolas Ponce presents a personal exhibition of video installations that probe pathways of memory, both personal and collective. Works combine archival footage, film extracts, stolen sequences and found online materials to build layered visual montages. The exhibition text examines mechanisms of remembrance and describes an artistic montage of contradictions that opens a ‘Chamber of Reminiscences’. Ponce’s practice centres on video and installation, interrogating set, landscape, secrets and political narratives through the lens of popular culture.

Opening : Thursday 23 April, 18:00
Meeting with artist : Thursday 7 May, 18:00

Inherited Times (Temps Hérités)

Art & Exhibits

Halle Nord

Presenting works by Julien Fournival, Théa Giglio and Chaolin Li, this exhibition draws on acts of recovery, diasporic narratives and ambiguous forms. Through found materials, sculptural interventions and time-based compositions, the project probes disjointed temporalities where memory and disappearance coexist. The artists intertwine material histories and personal fragments to question how objects and gestures carry traces across loss and migration.

Guided tours in French.

Zoe A. Keller and Batia Suter. Uqbaroxy

Art & Exhibits

Centre de la photographie (BGE)

Zoe A. Keller and Batia Suter reactivate the Eranos Archive in a collaborative project that blends critical essay and photographic installation. Keller’s research interrogates archetypal image systems and proposes the concept of the “anarchetype” to unsettle fixed classifications, while Suter juxtaposes historical Eranos images with contemporary-period photographs. Together they examine ideological contradictions and heterogeneous visual encounters of the interwar archive, opening a fictional conceptual field that foregrounds the archive’s historical vulnerability and the politics of visual classification.

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.

Nations District: Riverside Path

Art & Exhibits Outdoor

Le Reposoir

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.

Uqbaroxy

Art & Exhibits

Espace Ami Lullin

Zoe A. Keller and Batia Suter present a collaborative project that reframes the Eranos archives—about 3,000 archetypal images compiled by Olga Fröbe-Kapteyn and held at the Warburg Institute—as material for critical and photographic inquiry.
Taking the form of a critical essay and a photographic installation, the work questions and re-signifies these images, confronting their entanglement with universalist and violent ideologies. The artists propose the notion of the ‘anarchétype’ to reveal archetypal figures as unstable cultural constellations.
