Collectif_fact Afterimage

collectif_fact is composed of Annelore Schneider (born 1979 in Neuchâtel, Switzerland) and Claude Piguet (born 1977 in Neuchâtel, Switzerland). Living and working between London and Geneva, they create mainly video-based works that deconstruct cinematic codes and popular culture stereotypes. Their practice explores notions of (anti-)spectacle, simulacra, and appropriation through fragmented narratives combining dialogue, quotations, music, and references to classic cinema.

Yvan Salomone — 2611

Art & Exhibits

Galerie Sonia Zannettacci

Yvan Salomone presents a series of recent watercolours that transform anonymous buildings and soulless industrial sites into evocative landscapes. Through delicate, velvety tones, subtle colour modulations and watery traces that suggest life, the artist elevates banal subjects and transfigures objective reality. The exhibition’s title, 2611, alludes to Salomone’s practice of assigning eleven‑letter titles composed from the alphabet, producing names that detach the work from literal description and invite poetic reading.

Opening: Thursday 7 May , 16:00

Too Many Books in the Street

Art & Exhibits

Centre d'édition contemporaine

A contemporary publishing space presents a concentrated selection of artist books, fanzines and posters exhibited alongside curated holdings from its library. The presentation focuses on the material and graphic languages of small‑press production: experimental typography, hand-assembled multiples, risography and letterpress techniques. Works map networks of collaboration, DIY distribution and archival strategies, inviting close reading of visual narratives and the book as an object and medium within contemporary artistic practice.

Au cœur de la terre sacrée

Art & Exhibits

La Menuiserie

At the heart of sacred earth, Jean-Marie Borgeaud’s exhibition explores the profound relationship between the human body, spirituality, and raw material. Through powerful ceramic sculptures and organic forms shaped by fire, smoke, and clay, the artist reveals a world suspended between fragility and strength, life and transformation. Deeply inspired by the human condition and the elemental force of matter, Borgeaud’s work invites viewers into an intimate, almost ritual encounter with the earth, where scars, textures, and imperfections become traces of memory and existence.

Paysage impossible

Art & Exhibits

Ferme de la Chapelle

Artist Jessica Decorvet investigates the landscape as an unstable concept where seeing implicates participation and representation transforms the world. The exhibition brings together drawings, textiles, ceramics and living plants to stage tensions between intense, almost vital wonder and cultural framing that distances the living.
Playing with scale from miniature objects to a monumental curtain, Decorvet unsettles assumptions: textiles become stained glass while ceramics verge on reliquary. The works evoke and question how perception and materiality shape our relation to place.

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
