Devotio

Free

This exhibition examines saintly figures in Flemish painting of the 16th and 17th centuries, showing how sacred art once served as a shared visual language across a fragmented Christian Europe. Through attributes, garments, objects, gestures, animals, light, and texture, viewers learn to read the identities and stories of saints such as Christopher, Jerome, Barbara, and Mary Magdalene. The exhibition also reveals how the painting itself speaks through beauty and symbolism, inviting close looking at the visual codes that shaped devotion and meaning.

Opening: (AVV) 5 November, 16:00

Sleeping Together

Art & Exhibits

Galeries Forum

This exhibition brings together a selection of works by more than twenty artists from the Fonds cantonal d’art contemporain de Genève, with a focus on sculpture, including pieces that may never have been shown to the public. Curated alongside found objects by Varun Kumar, the display creates a quiet accumulation of dormant forms and unlikely encounters. It opens a meditation on the boundary between art and non-art, inviting visitors to read material presence, absence, and slumber as part of the same poetic field.

November 19, 19:00 – guided tour by the curator
January 30, 16:00 – guided tour by the curator and launch of the exhibition publication

Reality Solvent – Hunter Longe

Art & Exhibits

Halle Nord

Artist Hunter Longe presents a sculptural installation exploring temporalities that outlast human experience. Overworked and found materials—shaped by erosion, human interventions and geological forces—form mutable constellations where micro- and macro-temporalities meet. The show stages collaborative works including a sound composition with Janiv Oron and ritual-inflected poems by CAConrad, amplifying poetic and material registers. Longe treats found objects as offerings from deep time, repositioning them to shift our perception of duration and agency.

Marguerite Roesgen-Champion

Art & Exhibits

HEM Dufour

This presentation honours Marguerite Roesgen-Champion, the Geneva-born composer, pianist and harpsichordist, through an exhibition and related programme. Archival manuscripts, scores and recordings illuminate her compositional voice, keyboard repertoire and chamber works. The displays emphasise contrapuntal clarity, timbral detail and performance practice, situating her within the circle of contemporary harpsichordists. Curatorial texts and integrated media explore her contribution to Swiss musical life and interpretive traditions.

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.

Darling, ‘Ever’ Is Back – Caroline Schattling Villeval

Art & Exhibits

Halle Nord

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
