Ensemble de Strates

Artist Sara McLaren offers a sensitive, affective exploration of our relationship to land, place and the trajectories that traverse us. Rooted in a simple question—what binds us to a place?—the project gathers intimate local narratives through encounters and workshops. Stories are translated into earth: participants build layered rammed-earth sculptures, each stratum shaping a testimony. Between personal testimony and collective memory, the installation stages an archaeology of the present, where bodies, words and imaginaries coexist.

Opening: 20 June, 17:00

Julian Charrière presents a major project that traces geological, climatic and planetary time through sculpture, installation, film and photography. Using stone, ice, coal, lava, metals and fossil matter as both material and subject, the works examine entangled histories of nature, extraction, industry and myth. Charrière compresses deep timescales into sculptural processes — coring glacial boulders repaired with precious metals, mechanically transforming ancient rocks, and reframing extractive landscapes as sites of destruction and wonder.

Accrochage d’été brings together selected works by Andrea Gabutti, Etienne Krähnembühl, Laurent de Pury and Jean‑Patrice Rozand. The presentation highlights recent investigations in painting, sculpture and mixed media, juxtaposing material textures and sculptural line. Through compact compositions and attention to process, the artists explore perception, the limits of representation and the tactile qualities of surfaces. The selection emphasizes subtle dialogues between form, colour and spatial tension.

12 July – 1 October

Photographer Florian Luthi’s Fantômes Météores is inspired by the 1954 wave of UFO sightings across France, especially along the Franco‑Swiss border. From one of these accounts he revisits childhood landscapes—mist‑shrouded forests, deserted villages and the Jura—and composes a photographic narrative where truth wavers and legends endure. The series uses long exposures, muted palettes and staged absence to probe memory, collective fear and the boundary between documentary and myth. A collaboration with Fondation Convergences.

Intermezzo, Part 1 & 2 brings together works by Vincent Fournier, Franz Gertsch, Fabrice Gygi, Thomas Huber, Pierre Schwerzmann and Franz Erhard Walther. The group show stages a dialogue between photographic practice, painting and sculptural or performative interventions, highlighting contrasts of scale, materiality and pictorial space. Through composed images, painted surfaces and tactile objects, the exhibition considers modes of representation and the viewer’s bodily relation to works, encouraging slow looking and attentive spatial experience.
