Botanic Circus

Alice Izzo presents Botanic Circus, an immersive installation that transforms natural elements into a poetic visual performance. Through site-specific sculptural forms, coloured assemblies of flowers, plants and fruit become staged protagonists, inviting slow wandering, close observation and tactile interaction. The work blends installation, painted surfaces and ephemeral botanical assemblage to probe nature’s textures, theatricality and human perception. A parallel programme of monthly acrylic painting workshops complements the installation.

20 May – 4 July

Physis presents a two-person dialogue between sculptor Ernst Gamperl and the drawing practice of Shunshun. Gamperl’s internationally recognised sculptures, rooted in exceptional woodwork, explore growth, material presence and a generative life force. Shunshun’s delicate, layered line drawings shift from architectural training to intimate studies of spatial depth and quiet emotional resonance. Together the works consider intergenerational perspectives on form, technique and the elemental meanings of nature.

Opening: Wednesday 20 May, 17:00

29 April – 28 June

Presented from the private collection of Giuseppe Garrera and curated by Andrea Bellini and Giuseppe Garrera, this exhibition assembles an array of diminutive found objects — trinkets, charms, gadgets, toys, lucky charms and fragments of wood, cloth and glass — rescued from mundane life by artists’ gestures. Hovering between toy, everyday artefact and artwork, the presentation explores the thaumaturgic qualities of objects and childhood as a site of refuge and wonder.

Opening: Tuesday 28 April, 16:00 – 21:00

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.

Opening: Thursday 21 May, 18:00

6 May – 5 July

This spring, Villa Bernasconi hosts Helvetropicos, a platform that brings together Switzerland-based artists with strong ties to Latin America. The exhibition explores hybrid identities and contemporary forms of cultural mixing through diverse works—installations, sculptures, paintings, and more—inviting visitors to rethink how reality is shaped and experienced.

Opening :  Tuesday 5 May, 18:00 – 21:00

22 May – 27 June

Carolina Fontana presents Parallaxe, a first solo exhibition in Geneva featuring paintings from her recent Z·E·N series. Produced through contemplative travels across Swiss cantons, Spain and China, the canvases blend figurative motifs with abstract formations to evoke a transcendent, Zen-informed sensibility toward landscape and the sublime. The works emphasise delicate brushwork, layered surfaces and meditative composition, inviting sustained attention to process, rhythm and the poetic interplay between presence and absence.

Opening: Thursday 21 May, 18:00

7 – 30 May

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.

Opening: 7 May, 17:30
