17 September – 7 November

Amit Berman – Unfamiliar, Luminous, Remote

Unfamiliar, Luminous, Remote marks Amit Berman’s first solo exhibition at the gallery, following an artist residency in Switzerland earlier this year. Bringing together a new body of paintings, the exhibition explores intimacy, memory and vulnerability through expressive gestures, visible layers of paint and atmospheric compositions. Moving between quiet domestic interiors, fragments of landscape and solitary figures, Berman’s works reflect on the fragile space between familiarity and estrangement, connection and withdrawal.

Created against a backdrop of war and emotional precarity, these intimate yet unsettled paintings reveal a persistent search for connection and belonging within an unstable reality.

Opening: Thursday 17 September, 18:00

Talk: Sunday 20 September, 14:30-15:30 with curator Danniel Tostes and Amit Berman.

Rue des Vieux-Grenadiers 2,

9 – 20 September

Students from the Centre de formation professionnelle en Arts (CFP Arts) present collective projects imagining Geneva in the second half of the twenty‑first century. Through garments, jewellery, ceramics, videos, comics, choreography, urban furniture, installations and digital or graphic works, they stage speculative scenarios—from utopian reinventions to dystopian provocations. Employing craft, performance, film and design strategies, the works probe technological, environmental and social futures, asking how everyday life, material culture and public space might be transformed.

Opening: Wednesday 9 September, 18:00.

16 September – 15 October

Xinyi Hu transforms familiar domestic objects—mirrors and tables—into evolving ceramic forms that visitors are invited to activate. Between sculpture and utility, her modular pieces recalibrate everyday gestures: looking, gathering, leaning. The works demand bodily adaptation and invent new uses, making the moment of the artwork’s emergence depend on embodied engagement. Through tactility and careful material language, Hu examines presence, relationality and the thresholds where form becomes action.

17 September – 24 October

Curated by Leticia Maciel, Flora Incognita brings together works by David Elia, Marius Margot, Vivianne van Singer, Heberth Sobral and Vasilis Zografos to explore unclassified plant worlds as a metaphor for artistic practices that resist fixed categories. Ceramics form a central thread: clay appears as a material of memory and transformation in Sobral’s, Zografos’s and Elia’s work. Elia’s cyanotypes probe botanical archives and classification systems, van Singer investigates colour and perception, and Margot proposes speculative vegetal ecologies where nature and fiction converge.

Opening : 17 September, 18:00

16 September – 28 November

Beninese-born artist Roméo Mivekannin presents a series of paintings that investigate intimacy, memory and cultural identity. Working predominantly in acrylic on canvas, his canvases combine figurative portraiture with bold colour fields and textured surfaces. Works such as Anna in Red Kimono (2024) demonstrate a careful attention to costume, gesture and materiality, negotiating personal narrative and broader diasporic histories. The exhibition emphasises painterly craft and the tensions between representation and abstraction.

17 September – 3 November

Swiss artist Seline Burn presents a series of about a dozen paintings that explore liminal territories where identities, emotions and relationships transform. Figures in motion, in relation or in passage emerge from an omnipresent water, which functions as memory, inner landscape and dream space. Recurring colours weave a sensitive thread through contrasts and tensions across the works. The exhibition encourages contemplation of ambivalence and the possibility of finding forms of belonging within transient states.

Opening: Thursday 17 September, 18:00

31 August – 19 September
