Votive brings together Rachel Labastie and Robert Montgomery in an exhibition exploring desire, belief, memory and shared dreams for the future. Through sculpture, poetry, light, and site-specific installations, the artists reflect on peace, human connection, and the transformative power of art.
Opening: Wednesday 3 September at 18:00.
Mi Mawai and Madzerokai present an immersive audiovisual installation born from a residency exchange between the Brazilian Amazon and Geneva. The work invites immersion in Baniwa cosmology through video, layered soundscapes, flutes, traditional singing and dance. Visitors are invited to lie in hammocks and on mats for contemplative encounters with projected landscapes and ritual sonic textures. The piece foregrounds ancestral knowledge, collective memory and multisensory modes of storytelling.
Swiss collective PROJEKTIL stages the emergence of life through an immersive audiovisual installation. Site-responsive animated projections and sculptural light sequences transform walls and ceilings, accompanied by an atmospheric musical score. Using cutting-edge technology and layered animation, the work evokes cosmogony and the fragile origins of existence, inviting reflection on formation, scale and temporal unfolding. The piece reveals how digital media can translate primordial themes into sensory, architectural experience.
Big Bangs, tiny particles and some very big questions. CERN’s Science Gateway makes particle physics surprisingly tangible through hands-on experiments, real scientific objects, and immersive installations. You don’t need a physics degree — curiosity will do just fine.
Ken-You Ferrero presents luminous paper sculptures that explore nature and light. Working with tissue paper and washi, the artist constructs refined, fragile and symbolic forms that dialogue with materiality, balance and the living. The works emphasise translucency, subtle textures and the interplay of shadow and glow, offering a contemplative experience that interrogates fragility, regeneration and the intimate connections between craft and natural phenomena.
Opening: 3 October, 11:00 – 17:00
Closing 24 October, 11:00 – 17:00
Thomas Fougeirol’s first solo exhibition investigates painting as an uncertain field between surface and relief, image and matter. Through a sequence of repaints layered over earlier Dust Paintings, Fougeirol activates texture, pigment and gesture to blur pictorial depth and sculptural presence. The show foregrounds material encounter and process-led decisions, emphasising modulation of light, density and sedimented histories within oil-and-pigment canvases that oscillate between representation and objecthood.
Opening: Wednesday 7 October
Curated by the University of Geneva, the exhibition traces the journey of a grain of sand from extraction to its role in contemporary urban construction. Through research-driven installations and documentary displays, it examines extraction, global logistics, and the environmental and social impacts of sand mining. The show juxtaposes scarred landscapes and fragile ecosystems with the material demands of concrete and infrastructure, prompting reflection on alternative materials, reuse practices and how cities might be reimagined for genuine sustainability.
