Féérie fantastique

Genevan artist Gamo (born 1974) draws from the 1980s graffiti and hip‑hop scene to transform abandoned objects and recovered cardboard into vibrant mixed‑media works. Executed on repurposed cartons, his pictorial surfaces combine acrylic, brush, airbrush and spray to conjure a fantastical urban imaginary.

The exhibition explores recycling, material transformation and memory, questioning consumption while evoking street culture’s visual language and the poetics of found matter.

Opening: Thursday 18 June, 18:00 – 21:00

22 May – 27 June

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

28 April – 30 July

Fertile Hybridations explores the many forms of encounters and interweavings between humans, non-humans, knowledge systems, and temporalities.
Visitors are invited to inhabit the space, to question, to connect with these artist-researchers and designers, and—like them—to attempt to engage in dialogue and move beyond anthropocentrism, the idea that humans are at the center of everything. Instead, the exhibition encourages recognizing forms of intelligence or agency in other species, and building new relationships and exchanges.
Through this evolving exhibition, enriched by the intersection of art, design, and science, HiFlow becomes a living laboratory—a space for fertile alliances…

Meeting: Tuesday 16 June, 9:00 – 13:00 (in French)

5 June – 4 July

Artist Lou Cohen presents a body of work that dialogues between still and moving images. Working with dry pastel, oil paint and short films, she stages interactions within the same installation, confronting static representation with motion. Her practice employs irony and darkly comic tones to translate everyday reality and prompt critical reflection. The works explore perception, narrative tension and the theatrical potential of materials, inviting careful viewing and reconsideration of what images can reveal.

Opening: Thursday 4 June, 18:00 (Salle Crosnier)

18 June – 19 September

Artist Gautier Hardy presents ‘Kids Garden’, a series of works that inhabit a territory between childhood and the adult world. Through open diary fragments and an instinctive plastic language that draws from art brut, street art and neo‑expressionism, the exhibition brings together paintings, drawings and mixed‑media pieces. The works explore memory, play, and the uneasy passage to adulthood, using gestural mark‑making and raw materials to evoke intimacy and emotional intensity.

28 April – 30 July

HiFlow launches Quand le vivant nous fait agir, a year-long programme that explores how living systems can inspire new ways of thinking and acting. Bringing together artists, researchers, designers, entrepreneurs and thinkers, HiFlow becomes a space for experimentation and dialogue around more sensitive and sustainable futures. The first chapter, “Hybridations fertiles”, transforms the venue into a living laboratory through a collective exhibition, off-site projects, conferences, performances and workshops at the crossroads of art, design, life sciences and hybrid technologies.

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
