7 May – 20 June

MABE Gallery presents Forza Silenziosa, the second solo exhibition of Sofia Cacciapaglia, whose paintings evoke a quiet, fluid world where forms, bodies, and landscapes gently merge, expressing a soft yet powerful feminine presence rooted in emotion, connection, and subtle energy.

Her work emphasizes transformation, intimacy, and dreamlike atmospheres, where silence carries intensity. Using reclaimed cardboard from her Milan neighborhood, she connects to the ethos of Arte Povera—a movement theorized by Germano Celant and associated with artists like Michelangelo Pistoletto and Jannis Kounellis—by embracing ‘poor’ materials and their histories; however, she diverges through her distinctly figurative and painterly approach, transforming humble surfaces into poetic images that bridge material awareness with narrative, imagination, and contemporary femininity.

Opening: Thursday 7 May, 16:00 – 21:00

4 June – 9 August

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.

9 October 2025 – 30 August 2026

The International Museum of the Red Cross and Red Crescent presents the first European solo exhibition of Guatemalan Maya Kaqchikel artist Angélica Serech (*1982). Pach’un Q’ijul (Temps entrelacés – Deep Time) intertwines ancestral weaving gestures with personal and collective memory, drawing on Serech’s history shaped by Guatemala’s civil war. Using self-built looms and natural materials like corn husks and branches, her works explore resilience, repair, and the deep ties between textile traditions and humanitarian action.

21 May – 30 August

Five Mini Shows presents distinct exhibitions across separate rooms, bringing together major figures of Australian Aboriginal painting alongside contemporary painting, installation, drawing and sculpture. Works by Clifford Possum Tjapaltjarri, Mirdidingkingathi Juwarnda Sally Gabori and Gabriella Possum Nungurrayi sit next to new and historical painting by John Armleder, expansive installations by Chiharu Shiota, sculptural interventions by Balint Zsako and drawing-based work by Rachel Marks. The programme explores materiality, relational display and dialogues between indigenous traditions and contemporary abstraction.

Opening: Thursday 21 May, 18:00

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.

9 – 14 June

Barbara Smits and Florence Vial create a captivating dialogue between painting and sculpture, bringing together two distinct artistic practices united by a shared sensitivity to form, material, and expression. Through the interplay of colour, texture, volume, and gesture, the exhibition invites visitors to explore the relationships between abstraction and representation, movement and stillness, imagination and perception. Celebrating the richness of contemporary artistic creation, this encounter offers an engaging visual experience where each artist’s work enhances and resonates with the other, opening new perspectives on the dialogue between two- and three-dimensional forms.

Opening: Thursday 11 June, 18:00.
