Short Ass Attention Span #3

Free

Conceived by artist Pauline Coquart, Short Ass Attention Span #3 mixes literary experiment and live performance, assembling texts that range from apocalyptic sketches to risqué autofiction and political essays on sexuality. Editors and collaborators Ethan Assouline and Gaia Vincensini shaped the selection and the edition’s visual identity, while attentive editorial direction and inventive layout treat writing as performative material. The project foregrounds plural contemporary voices, shifting between intimate confession, sharp aphorism and sprawling narrative to create a charged, porous atmosphere.

Sacred languages: The Metamorphoses by Martin Abega

Art & Exhibits

Filafriques Gallery

Cameroonian photographer and visual artist Martin Abega presents a body of work that transforms image into material. Combining photography with textiles, embroidery, cowrie shells and charcoal, he stages photographic compositions and object-based pieces that investigate metamorphosis of body and mind. Themes of ordeal, fragility, trace, transmission and regeneration recur, often through the female figure as emblem. Curated by Ngalula Mafwata, the work opens a contemplative space that asks what remains after transformation.

Narrating Death – Exhibition

Art & Exhibits

Jardin botanique

An itinerant exhibition conceived by researchers from the Haute école de travail social et de la santé Lausanne (HETSL | HES-SO) in collaboration with artist Virginie Rebetez. The project brings together six audio narratives presented as podcasts and twelve photographs to explore questions of end of life, memory, funeral rites, transmission, mourning and remembrance. Through intimate soundscapes and photographic tableaux, the work prompts reflection on our relationship to the living, biodiversity, funerary landscapes and the disappearance of non-human life.

Guided tour: Sunday 27 September, 13:30

Collective listening session of a podcast episode, followed by a discussion with Veronica Pagnamenta and Marc-Antoine Berthod (HETSL | HES-SO) : Sunday 27 September, 15:00.

Tender Buttons

Art & Exhibits

Musée Ariana

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.

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.

Opening: Thursday 17 September, 18:00

New Realism: A Poetic Recycling of Urban Reality

Art & Exhibits

Galerie Sonia Zannettacci

Le Nouveau Réalisme brings together works by Arman, César, Christo, François Dufrêne, Yves Klein, Niki de Saint Phalle, Mimmo Rotella, Daniel Spoerri, Jean Tinguely and Jacques Villeglé to examine the movement’s poetic reworking of urban detritus. The exhibition presents sculptures, assemblages, collages and interventions that displace found objects from everyday contexts, juxtaposing industrial materials, advertising fragments and ready‑mades. Through material play and détournement, the show explores urban consumption, collective memory and the politics of visibility.

Opening (Geneva Art Week): Wednesday 16 September, 16:00
