Solo Séverin Guelpa – Rift

Free

Swiss artist Séverin Guelpa presents Rift, a vast immersive installation that shapes a sonic and telluric twilight. The work stages the fault as a porous space of listening, passage and transformation, where subterranean sounds converse with human voices and instrumental resonances. The presentation includes a live sound performance and collaborative vocal interventions with Varoujan Chetirian (sound composition), Antoine Läng (vocals and instrument) and Yvonne Harder (vocals), articulating material, temporal and acoustic relations.

Opening: Friday 18 September, 18:00

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.

In the Shadow of Discovery

Art & Exhibits

Musée d'histoire des sciences

Our eyes are naturally drawn to light and what shines. Yet what could be more fascinating than shadow? Shadows have enabled many fundamental discoveries: the shape of the Earth, the calculation of its circumference, the identification of electrons, and the understanding of planetary motion. They accompany us and enrich our thinking. Come and explore them to learn more about their role in science.

Exhibition in French & in English.

Lilian Bourgeat

Art & Exhibits

Galerie lange+pult

Lilian Bourgeat creates hyperrealistic sculptures that magnify everyday objects into monumental forms. Meticulous attention to surface, material and colour transforms benches, rain boots and soda cans into seductive yet unsettling sculptures. By altering scale while preserving recognizable details, his pieces oscillate between functionality and absurdity, displacing the viewer and inviting fresh perceptions of ordinary gestures and urban routines. The work interrogates how familiar objects shape memory, use and the boundaries between the banal and the monumental.

Opening: Thursday 17 September, 18:00

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.

Florian Luthi. Fantômes Météores

Art & Exhibits

Maison de l'enfance et de l'adolescence (MEA)

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.
