Ben Thouard: Aqua Obscura

Free

Ben Thouard is an ocean artist and one of the world’s foremost surf photographers. In his work water becomes a darkroom, an underwater camera obscura that reveals a singular, immersive vision. This exhibition presents previously unseen photography born of a near-daily practice: a language of water and light. Between organic forms, deep textures and shifts of shadow and clarity, Thouard’s images move between abstraction and contemplation, offering a sensory experience that explores the movements and metamorphoses of liquid matter.

Opening : 25 June, 18:00 – 21:00

Jan Albers: rOughrOuge

Art & Exhibits

Galerie lange+pult

German artist Jan Albers (born 1971) develops a practice between painting, sculpture and architecture. His works often take the form of reliefs built through accumulation: assembled, layered and compressed surfaces of wood, metal, polystyrene, ceramic and polymer plaster that evoke fragments of architecture, models or landscapes. These reliefs oscillate between saturation and erasure, balance and collapse, revealing their complexity only through a slow, attentive gaze.

Opening: Thursday 21 May, 18:00

8 May – 27 September

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

Collectif_fact Afterimage

Art & Exhibits

Wilde

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

Methodical Process

Art & Exhibits

Lovay Fine Arts

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.

Dream Up

Art & Exhibits

Opera Gallery

Dream Up brings together modern, post‑war and contemporary works that materialize imagination, memory, fantasy and inner vision across painting, sculpture and mixed media. The presentation juxtaposes iconic figures—Pablo Picasso, Marc Chagall, Willem de Kooning, Jean Dubuffet, Roy Lichtenstein, Yayoi Kusama, Niki de Saint Phalle, Tom Wesselmann, Manolo Valdés and Jaume Plensa—with contemporary voices including Andy Denzler, Fred Eerdekens and Feng Xiao‑Min. New works created for the occasion converse with historical pieces to generate poetic, visually intense dialogues.

Tal Coat: Books and Illustrated Works

Art & Exhibits

L'Exemplaire

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.
