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.

8 October – 21 November

Mirella Jaworska’s first solo exhibition presents paintings from 2026 that conjure the uncertain light of waking, when dream and reality blur. Drawing on early Renaissance masters and Japanese painting, Jaworska composes intimate tableaux populated by faces, flowers, skulls, cigarettes and studio objects, alongside recurring figures such as a jockey, a sphinx and a chair pierced by a heart. Her layered brushwork and muted palette explore memory, loss and melancholic reverie.

Opening : Wednesday 7 October

29 October – 4 December

Matières vivantes brings together the botanical paintings of Clarissa P. Valaeys and the sculptural works of Lisa Novel. Through pigments, earth and fibres, the two artists explore a relationship with nature that informs both form and material. Valaeys layers botanical motifs and translucent passages, sometimes using pigments made from plants and minerals, while Novel weaves fibres into textured, earthy volumes. Together their practices emphasise attentiveness to organic shapes, material presence and a quiet, sensory mode of looking.

Opening: Thursday 29 October, 18:00

Our eyes are naturally drawn to light and what shines. Yet what could be more fascinating than shadow? Shadows have enabled many fundamental discoveries: the shape of the Earth, the calculation of its circumference, the identification of electrons, and the understanding of planetary motion. They accompany us and enrich our thinking. Come and explore them to learn more about their role in science.

Exhibition in French & in English.

28 October – 20 February

Edmund Clark and Crofton Black present a collaborative exhibition that interrogates the scale and knowledge systems of overwhelming structures of power. Using photography, archival imagery, data visualizations and text, the artists construct an encyclopedic investigation that interweaves images, datasets and language. Works draw on printed reference material to probe the technico-military-industrial complex, examining how knowledge production shapes secrecy, infrastructure and contemporary geopolitical imaginaries.

Opening : 28 October, 18:00

5 September – 15 November

Joana Hadjithomas and Khalil Joreige present a site-specific project that juxtaposes archaeology, image and temporality. The presentation brings together works such as Palimpsests, Time Capsules and Trilogies, ranging from installations to photographic and film-based pieces. Working with archaeologists and adopting geological methods, the artists probe subterranean messages, historical ruptures and continuities, and the human and climatic forces that shape possible narratives. The exhibition foregrounds layered temporality and the politics of memory.
