Getting Robotic

Claire Guanella presents a series of works titled Getting Robotic that anchors her practice in filiation and networks. Using a metaphor rich in polysemy, the works examine our real connections, sustaining living memory and an attentive regard for the always-terrestrial roots of technological transformation. The exhibition considers the interplay between inheritance, collective memory and invention, prompting reflection on how human ties and grounded origins shape our evolving relations with machines.

An expanded presentation of works from the Geneva School and the Lake Geneva region brings together paintings and drawings by Ferdinand Hodler, François Bocion, John Torcapel, Alexandre Perrier, Félix Vallotton, Alexandre Cingria and Jean Roll.

The collection has grown through acquisitions and generous donations, and includes a very rare painting executed in Geneva before 1650, now shown to the public.
