Martha Stettler: Empowerment of an Artist

Swiss artist Martha Stettler presents a focused presentation of a single work that explores themes of agency, identity and artistic self-determination. The piece’s restrained yet powerful visual language, articulated through form, gesture and layered surfaces, invites reflection on the artist’s place within modernist practice and gendered art histories. Visitors may complement the presentation with an audio guide offering a queer reading of selected works. The session is conceived as an accessible thematic visit for all audiences.

16 – 27 September

Aldo Locatelli presents a diverse body of work spanning decades, rooted in experimentation and improvisation.
Paintings in oil, mixed-media pieces, ink drawings, sculptures, floral assemblages under plexiglas and repurposed objects converse through a tactile visual language. His practice moves between abstraction and figuration, privileging matter, color and gestural mark-making to explore observation, the living world and unexpected material affinities. The show reveals a restless creativity driven by curiosity, collage-like associations and continual recomposition.

Opening: Wednesday, 16 September, 18:00

Pierre La Police presents a retrospective of his work, spanning contemporary comics, digital art, installations, video and short film. Renowned for an absurdist sensibility and skewed humour, his practice blends hand-drawn sequences with experimental visual techniques and digital processes. The show traces recurring motifs—playful disruption, narrative fragmentation and visual experimentation—offering a layered survey of an artist who has expanded the language of comic art into installation and moving image.

30 May – 11 October

Photographer Léonie Rose Marion presents a long-term photographic inquiry into the relationship between people and the land. This exhibition gathers documentary images and in‑situ portraits that document those who work the soil around Meyrin, focusing on agricultural practices, gestures and material traces. Through stark, intimate portraits and contextual landscapes, Marion maps the social and territorial fabric that binds inhabitants to the living world. The series examines intergenerational knowledge, everyday labour and the networks of care that sustain local ecologies.

The Tender Buttons exhibition offers a multidisciplinary exploration centered on buttons, delving into their identity and historical significance. Featuring over three hundred ceramic and glass buttons, the exhibition interacts with the museum’s works to highlight their role in both formal experimentation and socio-cultural narratives. The exhibition’s architecture evokes the commercial arcades of the 19th century, a pivotal era for button industrialization. Curated by Claire FitzGerald, the exhibition is supported by the Swiss Fashion Museum and showcases never-before-seen pieces from several prestigious collections.

16 September – 28 November

Beninese-born artist Roméo Mivekannin presents a series of paintings that investigate intimacy, memory and cultural identity. Working predominantly in acrylic on canvas, his canvases combine figurative portraiture with bold colour fields and textured surfaces. Works such as Anna in Red Kimono (2024) demonstrate a careful attention to costume, gesture and materiality, negotiating personal narrative and broader diasporic histories. The exhibition emphasises painterly craft and the tensions between representation and abstraction.
