2,000 Years Beneath Geneva

Art & Exhibits

SaSA

Two thousand years, one site. Opened in September 2026, Geneva’s newest archaeological space brings together a Roman dwelling, a medieval cemetery and a church, and 16th-century fortifications. Archaeology meets contemporary architecture — with temporary art projects adding another layer to the story.

Momentum

Art & Exhibits

MABE Gallery

“Momentum” refers to that moment when a movement, once set in motion, gains its own force and paves the way for new possibilities. This group exhibition brings together Gisèle Bonin, Marie-Laure Davy, Adrien Menu, Cristina Alabau, Ana Baigorri, Clara Cebrián, Alice Trauttmansdorff et Olga Burkard, all united by a shared creative energy. Some are joining the MABE Gallery program for the first time, while others return with works that reflect an evolution in their practice, new lines of inquiry, and a fresh perspective.

Through a diverse range of mediums, materials, and gestures, “Momentum” gives rise to unexpected correspondences between the works. The various practices intersect without losing their distinct identities—all driven by a common desire to experiment, to shift boundaries, and to continue their own transformation. Conceived as a meeting point between discovery and continuity, the exhibition celebrates a living form of creation: one that moves forward, reinvents itself, and finds a new impetus through dialogue.

Opening: (AVV) 5 November, 16:00

Humanitarian, by Design? Le design au cœur de l’humanitaire

Art & Exhibits

Red Cross Museum

Humanitarian, by Design? explores the often-overlooked role of design in humanitarian action, from objects and emergency shelters to maps, images and digital technologies. Bringing together nearly 200 objects—most presented to the public for the first time—the exhibition examines how design shapes the way crises are experienced, managed and represented. Across three perspectives—objects, spaces and imaginaries—it reveals both the creative potential and the tensions embedded in humanitarian design. A multidisciplinary exhibition that questions how design can support care, dignity and resilience in times of crisis.

A Different Measure of Time: Pablo Benzo

Art & Exhibits

L'Appartement

Pablo Benzo presents his first solo exhibition at the gallery, bringing together paintings that probe the fluid boundaries between interior and exterior, figure and landscape, memory and perception. Shifting perspectives and familiar subjects unfold across different scales of time. For Benzo, painting becomes a temporal and perceptual investigation, attentive to how images are experienced and remembered. In this work, stillness is not the absence of change, but movement apprehended according to another measure of time.

5 – 7 November

Art en Vieille-Ville (AVV)

Art & Exhibits

Multiple locations

Art en Vieille-Ville (AVV) gathers a wide panorama of contemporary and historical practices across painting, photography, sculpture, printmaking and installation. Artists such as Marta Blanc, Jérôme Zonder, Sonia Zannettacci, Rosa Turetsky, Natacha Mercier, Jean‑Louis Perrot and Alexandre de Spengler present works that juxtapose sacred imagery, urban realism and historical engraving. The exhibition explores dialogue between past and present—from 17th‑century references and Futurist echoes to New Realism’s poetic reworking of the city—revealing how technique and memory shape collective cultural narratives.
