Cités délaissées & Mirages

Jean-Marc Yersin and Antoine Roth present two photographic projects that probe urban and natural perception.

In Cités délaissées, Yersin composes futuristic images of deserted cities where digital dematerialization, climate strain and demographic decline have hollowed out public life; the photographs evoke frozen infrastructures and virtual withdrawal. Mirages sees Roth using a long-focus digital camera along the shores of Lake Geneva to capture rare atmospheric and optical phenomena—mirages, light and reflections—questioning the materiality of landscape and how perception shapes experience.

Opening: Thursday 27 August, 18:00

Maliza Kiasuwa and Gavin Goodman present a black-and-white duo exploring emergence, connection and material memory.
Kiasuwa’s “Rhizomes” comprises sculptures of rope and woven elements that evoke roots and organic networks, invoking Deleuzean rhizomes to probe multiplicity, transformation and fragile relational structures.
Goodman’s “Vela” consists of photographic, hand‑painted works that reinterpret traditional garments through minimalist restraint, allowing motifs of appearance and becoming to surface.
Together the projects juxtapose sculptural tactility and photographic restraint to question how tradition and form reappear in contemporary practice.

Mi Mawai and Madzerokai present an immersive audiovisual installation born from a residency exchange between the Brazilian Amazon and Geneva. The work invites immersion in Baniwa cosmology through video, layered soundscapes, flutes, traditional singing and dance.

Through painting, sculpture, collage and installation, the show explores colour, atmosphere and emotional resonance. Lucia Hierro and Carlo D’Anselmi engage everyday materials and narrative, while Ben Aprea, Anna Fasshauer, Séverin Guelpa and Romane de Watteville investigate form, texture and spatial perception. The exhibition foregrounds colour relationships and materiality, balancing intimate gestures with immersive compositions.

Curated presentation gathers laureates of the International Competition for Artists from Minorities (2022–2025), bringing together around thirty artists such as Zahra Hassan Marwan, Babatunde “Tribe” Akande and Mehdi Rajabian who interrogate dominant narratives and resist erasure. Through painting, photography, sculpture, digital art, installations, performance and music, contributors blend testimony, memory and activism.
Four thematic axes—statelessness; intersectionality; memory in the present; belonging, place and loss—shape a multidisciplinary dialogue that foregrounds minority voices and asks how art can testify to, preserve and reclaim marginalized histories.

Opening: Monday 3 August, 18:00

28 May – 10 September

Crossings brings together Swiss artist Maria Ceppi and Japanese artist Tami Ichino in a poetic dialogue exploring memory, transformation, and the hidden resonance of everyday forms. Through sculpture, painting, and assemblage, the artists reinterpret familiar materials and natural elements into evocative compositions that move between abstraction and recognition. Blending intuition, symbolism, and material experimentation, the exhibition creates immersive spaces where personal narratives intersect with broader reflections on nature, coexistence, perception, and the shifting relationship between humanity and the world around us. Hosted by GOWEN Contemporary, Crossings invites viewers into a contemplative journey where objects, landscapes, and emotions continuously evolve across forms, meanings, and states of being.

18 June – 19 September

Artist Gautier Hardy presents ‘Kids Garden’, a series of works that inhabit a territory between childhood and the adult world. Through open diary fragments and an instinctive plastic language that draws from art brut, street art and neo‑expressionism, the exhibition brings together paintings, drawings and mixed‑media pieces. The works explore memory, play, and the uneasy passage to adulthood, using gestural mark‑making and raw materials to evoke intimacy and emotional intensity.
