Antoni Tàpies – Variations on a Musical Theme

Art & Exhibits

L'Exemplaire

Antoni Tàpies presents the complete series “Variations on a Musical Theme”, twenty lithographs created in 1987. The suite reveals Tàpies’s fascination with the interplay between visual art and music: each variation establishes its own rhythm, material presence and visual language. Treated as a continuous sequence, the works unfold like a musical score, inviting an immersive reading of process, texture and symbolic gesture within the artist’s graphic practice.

Post Tenebras Lux 2026

Art & Exhibits

Halle Nord

Ianne Kenfack Kitio continues her inquiry into representations of Black femininity and the construction of identity. In this photographic work, produced as a cyanotype, she treats the image as a space of transformation rather than a fixed depiction. The piece links material and concept: its blue evokes Ndop indigo textiles of the Grassfields and the artist’s Bamiléké heritage, while the cyanotype’s gradual emergence mirrors identity as an ongoing process of thresholds and metamorphosis.

Opening: 3 September, 18:00

Art in the Garden

Art & Exhibits

Jardin botanique

An outdoor project presenting works by various contemporary artists sited throughout a public garden. The exhibition stages a dialogue between art and landscape through sculptural and outdoor works that reveal changing relationships of scale, material and season. Using diverse materials and formats, the pieces question how context reshapes meaning, inviting close looking and unexpected encounters along pathways. The show considers the poetic and civic dimensions of placing art in nature, and the stories objects bring into shared outdoor spaces.

In French.

Their Crops, Our Roots – Portraits of Women in Geneva’s Countryside

Art & Exhibits

The project explores gender, labour and continuity, revealing how women’s labour shapes rural economies and biocultural traditions. Set against the UN’s International Year of the Woman Farmer 2026, the work invites renewed attention to the diversity of skills and trajectories within contemporary Geneva agriculture.

Gregory Bourrilly – Écho

Art & Exhibits

Wilde

Geneva based artist Gregory Bourrilly presents seven sculptures and a photograph that reconsider human-centered narratives in favor of ecological processes. Since 2018 his practice explores living dynamics and natural phenomena, imagining a posthuman world where human culture gradually yields to vegetal and animal recolonization. The works combine sculptural forms and photographic framing to evoke material transformation, decay and emergence, proposing alternative imaginaries of coexistence beyond anthropocentrism.

Opening: Thursday 17 September, 18:00

Pierre La Police – Retrospective

Art & Exhibits

Papiers Gras

Pierre La Police presents a retrospective of his work, spanning contemporary comics, digital art, installations, video and short film. Renowned for an absurdist sensibility and skewed humour, his practice blends hand-drawn sequences with experimental visual techniques and digital processes. The show traces recurring motifs—playful disruption, narrative fragmentation and visual experimentation—offering a layered survey of an artist who has expanded the language of comic art into installation and moving image.
