Telling Death

Free

Swiss artist Virginie Rebetez presents a photographic inquiry into objects associated with death and mourning. Through finely composed photographs and careful re-interpretations of found artefacts, the work examines material cultures surrounding mortality, memory and ritual. The series juxtaposes documentary clarity with subtle conceptual interventions to question how objects encode personal and collective narratives of loss. Developed in dialogue with researchers, the exhibition reveals how scientific and curatorial perspectives reframe everyday objects into sites of reflection and knowledge.

Édouard and Marguerite Naville

Art & Exhibits

MAH

This exhibition explores the careers of Édouard Naville, Switzerland’s pioneering Egyptologist, and his wife Marguerite Naville, whose contributions alongside him are now recognised in their own right. Through archival documents, excavation records and pharaonic objects, the presentation illuminates their archaeological practice and Marguerite’s role, while situating their work within the political, religious and humanitarian commitments that shaped scholarly life at the turn of the twentieth century.

In French and in English.

Transparences, saison I

Art & Exhibits

Fondation WRP

Christine Gaillard and Chantal Carrel present a dialogue between painting and sculpture that probes transparency as an experience of light, space and perception. Gaillard’s paintings employ layered surfaces, subtle rhythms and luminous chromatic variations to invite inward contemplation. Carrel’s sculptures—crafted in resin, stone and wood—play with geometry, refraction and shadow, activating volume and architectural relationships. Curated by Myriam Bongard-Stadler, the exhibition explores how materiality and light disclose hidden depths and questions of gaze.

The Illustrated House

Art & Exhibits

Maison Surville

Cécile Koepfli creates a site-specific window installation of colorful, poetic drawings. Mischievous characters, everyday objects, and fragments of text assemble into a playful, sensitive imaginary world. The works, rendered directly on window panes, unfold as tableaux and narrative vignettes that invite viewers to imagine the activities and encounters that will animate the space.
A seek-and-find game encourages close looking and slow discovery across the illustrated surfaces.

Abstraction Within Sight

Art & Exhibits

Les Arts du Soleil

Senegalese artist Adji Diouf presents a solo exhibition of paintings that move between figuration and abstraction. Colour structures the compositions, with warm, luminous palettes where the gaze becomes an anchor in abstract fields. Recurrent cultural motifs emerge across canvases, informing a poetic and visual vocabulary. The show highlights the artist’s sustained practice and pictorial exploration of memory, identity and transmission through layered surfaces and rhythmic forms.
