Marilou Bal — Exhibition

Marilou Bal probes the spectrum of girlhood to examine self-image, doubling, and mimicry. Drawing on the language of horror and revenge films, she appropriates feminine representations as a protective strategy. Through her paintings, Bal investigates power relations and recurring motifs such as the fetishized dog and romantic projections onto animal figures. For this solo presentation she develops a new axis focused on the teddy-bear archetype, a timeless comfort symbol that prompts reflection on self-construction and subtle forms of rebellion.

Opening: Thursday, 4 March, 18:00

19 – 27 September

Amélie Patry presents a body of ceramic work rooted in the landscapes of the Loire Valley. Through long walks she collects soils, stones and vegetal matter which she incorporates directly into her vessels. Her process—digging, carrying and shaping—follows a slow attentiveness to material transformation. Fired in the kiln, these gathered elements yield irregular surfaces and textured skins that suggest mineral reliefs and fossil fragments, connecting body, landscape and layered temporalities.

17 September – 15 December

Dia al-Azzawi presents a new ensemble of recent paintings and sculptures that trace a dialogue between the artist’s interior worlds and his engagement with landscape. In the “Inner Worlds” strand he probes memory, introspection, human relationships and domestic spaces that inform his imagery. In “Under Open Skies” the gaze widens to gardens, light and natural vistas, with recurring references to the Jardin Majorelle in Marrakech. The works combine expressive painting techniques with sculptural presence and a poetic modernist language.

Opening: Thursday 17 September, 18:00

17 September – 3 November

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

15 September – 31 October

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.

16 September – 10 October

Pierre La Police presents a retrospective of his work, spanning contemporary comics, digital art, installations, video and short film. Renowned for an absurdist sensibility and skewed humour, his practice blends hand-drawn sequences with experimental visual techniques and digital processes. The show traces recurring motifs—playful disruption, narrative fragmentation and visual experimentation—offering a layered survey of an artist who has expanded the language of comic art into installation and moving image.

19 – 27 September

PCC 2024 presents a city-wide parcours of contemporary ceramics by a collective of local and regional ceramists. The programme showcases functional and sculptural work, installations and experimental glazing techniques that interrogate surface, form and material memory. Through dialogues between craft and concept, the parcours highlights processes such as wheel-throwing, hand-building and mixed-media collaborations, inviting reflection on the cultural and tactile histories embedded in clay.
