LABO IBO

Geneva-based artist of Turkish origin Ibo Art offers a sensitive exploration of waste transformed into living, symbolic forms. Blending painting, sculpture and installation, he reclaims construction debris, plastic flowers refreshed with acrylic, and found materials to fashion islands, micro‑houses and human figures. The post‑industrial installations deploy vivid colour and vegetal motifs to question consumption, value and belonging. The work reveals how discarded matter can assert presence, evoke resilience, and be reimagined as contemporary relics.

29 April – 28 June

An intimate assemblage presents a constellation of small objects—toys, trinkets, charms, perfume bottles, stamps, pencils and marbles—where everyday artifacts hover between plaything and artwork.
Featuring objects by Sol LeWitt, Yoko Ono, Jenny Holzer and Takako Saito, the exhibition traces a collector’s obsessive impulses and imaginative logic.
Through found objects and miniature compositions, it explores childhood as refuge, the thaumaturgic charge of objects, and how desire and loss shape the poetic economy of collecting.

12 March – 16 May

Architecture of Memories is a two-person exhibition by German artist Alina Frieske and Swiss artist Tobias Nussbaumer. Frieske reworks fragments of online imagery into digital collages that question image production and contemporary visual culture. Nussbaumer constructs layered virtual and architectural spaces through detailed pencil and ink drawings based on personal archives. Together their works probe how images configure memory, spatial perception and identity, juxtaposing digital fragmentation with meticulous draughtsmanship.

Opening during Nuit des Bains, Thursday 12 March, 18:00.

1 May – 1 November

An interactive exhibition that invites visitors of all ages to explore the biological clocks that govern life on Earth. Through hands-on installations, immersive displays and scientific demonstrations, the show unveils the mechanisms and rhythms of circadian, seasonal and developmental timing. Multimedia exhibits and experimental stations illustrate how organisms synchronize with their environment and why respecting these rhythms matters for ecosystem balance. Educational workshops offer practical learning for school groups and families.

9 – 27 May

Measures of Infinity brings together works by Susanna Bauer, Frankie Gao and Carol Prusa in a contemplative exhibition of drawings, installations and meticulously crafted objects. Bauer transforms fragile leaves into intricate, almost meditative compositions; Gao offers pared-back drawings and open installations that evoke cosmic structures; Prusa constructs pieces informed by scientific models and unseen phenomena. Across scale and material, the show explores perception, precision and the tension between the intimate and the vast, inviting close looking and slow attention.

24 April – 3 January

An extensive survey assembled from a long-standing research collection devoted to glass, this exhibition takes a contemporary look at a millennia-old material. Over two hundred glass and mixed-media works, including sculptural objects, design pieces and installations, testify to a transdisciplinary experimental spirit. Featuring artists such as Ettore Sottsass, Pierre Charpin, Betty Woodman, Bob Wilson, Giuseppe Penone, Jana Sterbak and James Lee Byars, the show examines materiality, technique and the porous boundaries between craft, design and contemporary art.

Opening : Thursday 23 April, 18:00

6 – 25 May

Carlo D’Anselmi presents paintings that emerge from imagination, assembling figures, animals and landscapes into dreamlike compositions defined by colour, textured surfaces and a quietly emotive atmosphere. The exhibition considers painting as a silent language that unfolds through attention, light and time, while mountains assert themselves through scale and presence. Developed during the artist’s first stay in Switzerland overlooking the French Alps, the works respond to shifting rhythms and seasonal transformations in the landscape.
