Post Tenebras Lux 2026

Ianne Kenfack Kitio continues her inquiry into representations of Black femininity and the construction of identity. In this photographic work, produced as a cyanotype, she treats the image as a space of transformation rather than a fixed depiction. The piece links material and concept: its blue evokes Ndop indigo textiles of the Grassfields and the artist’s Bamiléké heritage, while the cyanotype’s gradual emergence mirrors identity as an ongoing process of thresholds and metamorphosis.

Tobias Kaspar (né en 1984 à Bâle, Suisse) est un artiste vivant et travaillant entre Zurich et Riga, ainsi qu’à Mesocco (Suisse) et Salacgrīva (Lettonie), où il dirige The Estate, deux résidences d’artistes et espaces d’exposition. Depuis près de vingt ans, sa pratique multidisciplinaire explore les systèmes à travers lesquels la valeur culturelle, l’auteurité, l’ambition et la signification sont produites et diffusées. À travers la photographie, le textile, l’installation, l’édition, la mode et la conception d’expositions, Kaspar fait souvent des mécanismes de la production culturelle le sujet même de son travail. Son œuvre a été présentée dans de nombreuses institutions internationales, notamment à Artists Space, Hamburger Bahnhof, Kunsthalle Basel, Kunsthalle Bern, MAMCO Genève et au Museum of Modern Art de Varsovie.

Chris Lovasoa Kauffmann presents a new body of work that explores architectural form and symbolic resonance through sculpture, painting and installation. Minimal geometries and textured surfaces negotiate scale and monumentality, while layered materials and subtle color shifts invite reflection on construction, memory and cultural lineage. The works balance rigorous formalism with tactile evidence of process, proposing an austere yet intimate meditation on how built forms shape perception and collective narratives.

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.

An extensive survey assembled from a long-standing research collection devoted to glass, this exhibition takes a contemporary look at a millennia-old material. Over two hundred glass and mixed-media works, including sculptural objects, design pieces and installations, testify to a transdisciplinary experimental spirit. Featuring artists such as Ettore Sottsass, Pierre Charpin, Betty Woodman, Bob Wilson, Giuseppe Penone, Jana Sterbak and James Lee Byars, the show examines materiality, technique and the porous boundaries between craft, design and contemporary art.
