Through the Threads: Crochet Portraits — Chad Turner

American artist Chad Turner presents photorealistic portraits executed in freeform crochet. Working with a single hook and diverse threads, Turner translates sources — old photographs, paintings, AI-generated images and family memories — into textile surfaces that range from intimate panels to works exceeding a square metre. The exhibition highlights his labour-intensive process and technical solutions for rendering subtle chromatic contrasts, revealing how fibre, texture and colour combine to produce uncanny, tactile likenesses.

Opening: 28 May 18:30

7 May – 29 June

Pierre Tal Coat’s practice is examined through his intimate dialogue with the book, presenting around forty illustrated and picture-book collaborations alongside a selection of original works. The exhibition highlights his editorial partnerships with leading publishers and encounters with poets and writers, revealing a visual language where ink, print and image engage in precise, elliptical conversations with text. Works range across periods, tracing shifts in technique, materiality and a restrained yet expressive pictorial vocabulary.

20 – 24 May

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.

6 May – 25 July

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.

12 March – 14 June

The exhibition brings together three artists, Nnena Kalu, Linda Bell and Marie Gyger, whose practices examine repetitive gesture as a daily discipline. Gyger reflects on the value of labour, while Bell and Kalu pursue more spontaneous, obsessive procedures. Their works, ranging from repetitive drawings and object accumulation to installations and assembled images, show how accumulation sculpts pictorial forms and material narratives, inviting reflection on labour, ritual and the construction of visual meaning.

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

Performance Linda Bell (Nuit des Bains) : Thursday 21 May, 19:00

21 May – 21 June

Curators Ghalas Charara and Rita Elhajj present a first collaborative exhibition that scrutinizes the collection through a shared, probing gaze. The presentation assembles works from the collection alongside archival materials and curatorial interventions, foregrounding fragments, indexes and ruptures.
It interrogates the ruinous logics of archives, the anxieties encoded in preservation, and the ways memory is displaced or exiled. The show stages dialogues between history, material traces and acts of remembrance.

Opening: Thursday 21 May, 18:00
