7 May – 10 July

Yvan Salomone presents a series of recent watercolours that transform anonymous buildings and soulless industrial sites into evocative landscapes. Through delicate, velvety tones, subtle colour modulations and watery traces that suggest life, the artist elevates banal subjects and transfigures objective reality. The exhibition’s title, 2611, alludes to Salomone’s practice of assigning eleven‑letter titles composed from the alphabet, producing names that detach the work from literal description and invite poetic reading.

Opening: Thursday 7 May , 16:00

23 April – 29 November

To mark 30 years of Hortus Botanicus Helveticus, this exhibition presents the diversity and conservation work of Swiss botanical gardens through thirty panels. Each display showcases living collections and highlights the scientific, conservation and educational roles gardens play in safeguarding plant biodiversity. The presentation combines photographic and interpretative elements with botanical specimens to reveal how gardens document, protect and communicate the value of plant life.

20 May – 4 July

Physis presents a two-person dialogue between sculptor Ernst Gamperl and the drawing practice of Shunshun. Gamperl’s internationally recognised sculptures, rooted in exceptional woodwork, explore growth, material presence and a generative life force. Shunshun’s delicate, layered line drawings shift from architectural training to intimate studies of spatial depth and quiet emotional resonance. Together the works consider intergenerational perspectives on form, technique and the elemental meanings of nature.

Opening: Wednesday 20 May, 17:00

4 June – 17 July

Sébastien Bertrand presents a selection of paintings and works on paper by Rammellzee, highlighting the artist’s radical exploration of language, architecture and symbolic warfare. The presentation emphasises the material and pictorial force of dense compositions made with spray paint, ink, acrylic, metallic pigments, collage, markers and industrial materials. Together the works reveal a complex visual language that interrogates text, form and urban histories, situating Rammellzee’s practice within late twentieth-century experimental art.

20 June – 30 August

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.
