Alibert and the Arve: Writings of the River

Free

Painter Éric Alibert presents a sensitive, meditative body of work inspired by the banks of the Arve. Using Chinese ink and watercolor on Japanese papers, his small-format writings of the living observe the discreet presences of urban wildlife. Through careful observation Alibert explores passages between interior and exterior, appearance and disappearance, proposing a contemplative, ecological gaze that brings wildness into the city and invites reflection on fragility and coexistence.

Mirages

Art & Exhibits

Galerie Polomarco

Etienne Francey and Onoko present a collaborative exhibition exploring the mirage as visual and psychological phenomenon. Francey’s photographic practice treats landscapes as memory, rendering familiar scenes with a soft, recollected quality. Onoko contributes more abstract works that distill atmosphere and luminous degradation into colour fields and ephemeral surfaces. Together their pieces interrogate perception, illusion, and the shifting boundary between apparition and documentation, using photography, colour studies and light to destabilize what the eye assumes to know.

Tobias Kaspar – Flowers: Revenge

Art & Exhibits

Wilde

Tobias Kaspar (né en 1984 à Bâle, Suisse) est un artiste vivant et travaillant entre Zurich et Riga, ainsi qu’à Mesocco (Suisse) et Salacgrīva (Lettonie), où il dirige The Estate, deux résidences d’artistes et espaces d’exposition. Depuis près de vingt ans, sa pratique multidisciplinaire explore les systèmes à travers lesquels la valeur culturelle, l’auteurité, l’ambition et la signification sont produites et diffusées. À travers la photographie, le textile, l’installation, l’édition, la mode et la conception d’expositions, Kaspar fait souvent des mécanismes de la production culturelle le sujet même de son travail. Son œuvre a été présentée dans de nombreuses institutions internationales, notamment à Artists Space, Hamburger Bahnhof, Kunsthalle Basel, Kunsthalle Bern, MAMCO Genève et au Museum of Modern Art de Varsovie.

Opening: Thursday 2 July, 18:00

Transe

Art & Exhibits

Espace L

Antônia Dias investigates snakes through painting, sculpture and installation, exploring their vivid colours, geometric patterns and segmented forms. By linking aesthetic sensibility, biological observation and symbolic narrative, her work stages a tension between eroticism and metamorphosis. The exhibition assembles tactile materials and painted surfaces to create a destabilising perceptual field where colour, texture and form converge. Viewers are invited to linger within layered visual sequences that blur figurative and fabulatory registers.

Opening: Thursday 2 July, 18:00

Nature never deceives us: Jean-Jacques Rousseau herbarium

Art & Exhibits

Jardin botanique

Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s herbarium, compiled in the 1770s for the printer-bookseller Charles-Joseph Panckoucke, is presented through preserved pressed specimens, its original catalogue and related botanical publications. The historical collection combines scientific observation and aesthetic arrangement, revealing Enlightenment approaches to collecting, classification and the popularisation of plant study. Detailed notes and annotations illuminate Rousseau’s techniques and the materiality of specimens, inviting reflection on how personal curiosity and scholarly networks shaped early modern natural history.
