Darling, ‘Ever’ Is Back – Caroline Schattling Villeval

Free

Swiss artist Caroline Schattling Villeval presents two video works that imperfectly replay and displace recognisable cultural gestures. One figure attempts Britney Spears’ ‘Baby One More Time’ in sign language, while another reconstructs Pipilotti Rist’s ‘Ever Is Over All’ within a digital environment. The installation probes the legibility of images, questions hearing and what remains inaccessible to the senses, and enlists the viewer in an experience of partial perception. Curator: Elise Lammer.

Opening: 29 October, 18:00

Amit Berman – Unfamiliar, Luminous, Remote

Art & Exhibits

Fabienne Levy Gallery

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.

Entrez en matière! From a grain of sand to sustainable cities

Art & Exhibits

SEU – UNIGE

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.

Some Unresolved Remaining Feelings – S.U.R.F

Art & Exhibits

Arcadia

Martin Hyde presents an exhibition examining the relationships between painting, object, ceramics, design and poetry. His practice blurs boundaries between disciplines, producing works that sit between painted surfaces, ceramic forms and functional design, often scaled to engage the surrounding architecture. The show presents sculptural paintings and crafted objects that consider materiality, repetition and the poetics of domestic forms and scale.
