Telluric Silhouettes

Free

Telluric Silhouettes brings together works by Reinata Sadimba (Mozambique) and Tiemar Tegene (Ethiopia). The exhibition juxtaposes Sadimba’s hand-built ceramics and Tegene’s monoprints, united by a carnal engagement with material, a palette of blacks and greys, and an emphasis on texture.
Both artists sculpt or incise human silhouettes—engraving, carving and modeling figures—evoking phases of existence and emotions such as love, grief and discord. Mineral pigments (lime, graphite) and dense patterning lend a telluric, communal resonance to works that question embodiment and collective memory.

Opening: Thursday 29 October, 18:00 – 20:00

Liotard and Marie-Antoinette

Art & Exhibits

MAH

Jean-Étienne Liotard’s portraits of the imperial family, notably Marie‑Antoinette, include eleven drawings widely regarded as masterpieces. This project examines the identification of the sitter children and the works’ provenance through a cross-disciplinary investigation. In collaboration with the University of Oxford, the Idiap research institute and the School of Criminal Sciences at the University of Lausanne, historians of art and specialists in the eighteenth century join AI researchers and forensic experts to reveal new insights into authorship and history.

Edmund Clark and Crofton Black: Cosmopolemos

Art & Exhibits

Espace Ami Lullin

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.
