Transparences, saison II

Transparences, saison II brings together painter Fanny Gagliardini and sculptor Mireille Fulpius in a dialogue between surface and volume. Gagliardini’s paintings build depth through colour and translucency on fine linen, with mirrors and shifting natural light modulating perception of matter and space.
Fulpius’s thermolacquered metal sculptures—cut, folded and assembled—explore line, structure and void; their open forms admit light and extend perspectives. Curated by Myriam Bongard-Stadler, the exhibition examines how opacity and transparency shape construction and perception.

Measures of Infinity brings together works by Susanna Bauer, Frankie Gao and Carol Prusa in a contemplative exhibition of drawings, installations and meticulously crafted objects. Bauer transforms fragile leaves into intricate, almost meditative compositions; Gao offers pared-back drawings and open installations that evoke cosmic structures; Prusa constructs pieces informed by scientific models and unseen phenomena. Across scale and material, the show explores perception, precision and the tension between the intimate and the vast, inviting close looking and slow attention.

The MAH showcases Tonutopie, an innovative installation by German artist Hans-Walter Müller, a trailblazer in inflatable structures. This large, transparent, and habitable sphere, nestled within Vincent Lamouroux’s La Passerelle, offers a unique sensory experience. It delves into the contrasts between the fluidity of inflatable structures and the rigidity of traditional architecture, providing visitors with a fresh perspective on space.

11 June – 29 August

Traces of Presence gathers artists whose practices examine what remains beyond immediate visibility. Through painting, photography, abstraction and material transformation, the show explores presence as memory carried through matter, process and perception. Roxana Bergt reworks still-life into vessels of memory and resilience; José Yaruro reinterprets classical forms; Marie Deforche paints quiet moments of solitude. Luca Mancone repurposes receipts and thermal paper; Eilena Braye converts microscopic structures into vivid abstraction; Justyna Maria Porowska and Didier Van der Borght negotiate geometry, surface and imagined silhouettes.

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.

Opening: Thursday 2 July, 18:00

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.

11 August – 16 October

Hydromondes, a multidisciplinary collective, presents a two‑year field investigation into Lake Geneva through visual and narrative works. Combining art, science and activism, the group brings together architecture, theatre, hydrology, popular education, landscape design, biology, music, ethnography and engineering to produce mixed-media, research-driven installations and documentary narratives. Drawing on dialogues with local residents and ecological knowledge, the works examine water infrastructures, cultural imaginaries and governance, proposing experiments that reveal and question our relationships with the lake.
