La bibliothèque se livre

Free

Franck Bohbot presents a selection of photographs of heritage libraries that open a space for meditation and reverie around the idea of the library.
Alongside these images, contemporary installations and mirrored arrangements that juxtapose photographs of personal libraries create reflective encounters, while a kaleidoscope of texts centers the theme. The exhibition examines how architecture, collection and personal memory shape our relation to knowledge, evoking nostalgia, curiosity and questions about the library as a social and imagined space.

Pâquis-Centre

Save the date!

Inauguration of Eucaryote, a new public artwork at the Pâquis-Centre school

Over the past few months, a new sculpture has been taking shape behind the barriers and tarpaulins covering the school’s central courtyard. It has now finally been unveiled.

Created by artist Simone Holliger, in collaboration with Ester Alemayehu Hatle, this artwork is the result of an invitational competition organized by the FMAC (Geneva Municipal Foundation for Contemporary Art), the Children’s Services, and the City of Geneva’s Department of Built Heritage, with the participation of representatives from the school, local residents, and neighborhood associations.

Intermezzo, Part 1 & 2

Art & Exhibits

Skopia Art Contemporain

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.

Nature never deceives us: Jean-Jacques Rousseau herbarium

Art & Exhibits

Jardin botanique

Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s herbarium, compiled in the 1770s for the printer-bookseller Charles-Joseph Panckoucke, is presented through preserved pressed specimens, its original catalogue and related botanical publications. The historical collection combines scientific observation and aesthetic arrangement, revealing Enlightenment approaches to collecting, classification and the popularisation of plant study. Detailed notes and annotations illuminate Rousseau’s techniques and the materiality of specimens, inviting reflection on how personal curiosity and scholarly networks shaped early modern natural history.

Julian Charrière: Hard Core

Art & Exhibits

Galerie Olivier Varenne

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.

30 July – 12 September

Accrochage

Art & Exhibits

Galerie Rosa Turetsky

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.
