Presented by the City of Lancy, this municipal exhibition examines the Voie verte as an emblem of soft mobility. A sequence of informational panels traces the route’s evolution, combining historical context, planning perspectives and reflections on everyday use. The display uses concise visual and textual elements to reveal how infrastructural changes shape mobility, landscape and social practices, inviting consideration of sustainability, accessibility and the ongoing dialogues between urban design and community life.

9 – 11 September

Tali Serruya presents filfilfil, a research-driven project revisiting six years of collaborative artistic interventions. The presentation combines an exhibition with a performative lecture and a round‑table, foregrounding processes of shared creation, collective memory and community-based practice. Works, documentation and actions reactivate traces of the collective adventure, examining relational authorship, participatory methods and the tensions between individual creativity and communal narratives within the framework of a doctoral research-creation.

9 – 20 September

Students from the Centre de formation professionnelle en Arts (CFP Arts) present collective projects imagining Geneva in the second half of the twenty‑first century. Through garments, jewellery, ceramics, videos, comics, choreography, urban furniture, installations and digital or graphic works, they stage speculative scenarios—from utopian reinventions to dystopian provocations. Employing craft, performance, film and design strategies, the works probe technological, environmental and social futures, asking how everyday life, material culture and public space might be transformed.

Opening: Wednesday 9 September, 18:00.

4 June – 25 October

Sylvia Sleigh’s retrospective pairs the artist’s figurative painting with ‘Refaire collection’, a polygraphic project offering a feminist rereading of art-history canons. Sleigh, a Welsh painter active in New York, is known for reversing gendered norms—placing the male nude where the female traditionally appears—and for portraits of the 1960s–70s New York art community. ‘Refaire collection’ gathers Swiss holdings and works by artists such as Louise Bourgeois, Meret Oppenheim, Pipilotti Rist, Joan Semmel and the Guerrilla Girls across painting, sculpture, video, drawing and photography.

Opening: 4 June 18:00

27 June – 30 June

An expanded presentation of works from the Geneva School and the Lake Geneva region brings together paintings and drawings by Ferdinand Hodler, François Bocion, John Torcapel, Alexandre Perrier, Félix Vallotton, Alexandre Cingria and Jean Roll. The display traces regional artistic dialogues across centuries, from academic realism to symbolist and modernist approaches, highlighting technique, compositional daring and materiality. The collection has grown through acquisitions and generous donations, and includes a very rare painting executed in Geneva before 1650, now shown to the public.
