3 October – 7 February

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.

6 November – 5 December

Rosanna Baledda presents an original installation that lifts the viewer into a reflection on the atmosphere’s vital role. Through an arrangement of balloon-like forms and suspended elements, the work juxtaposes the poetic image of a sky filled with hot-air balloons with sober questions about the atmosphere’s function: regulating temperature, filtering radiation and enabling breathable air. The installation highlights the atmosphere’s preciousness and fragility, inviting contemplation of human responsibility toward climate and the delicate networks sustaining life.

5 November – 12 December

This exhibition brings together the works of Jean-Louis Perrot and Natacha Mercier in a dialogue shaped by thresholds, suspension, and the vital force of renewal. Perrot explores the edge of movement, the instant of balance, and the regenerative energy at work in form. In his series De profundis, Mercier examines the appearance and withdrawal of the image, where night becomes a habitat that absorbs and redistributes light, and vision shifts into a space of opacity. Presentation text by Jonas Alvear, 2026.

Opening: (AVV) Thursday 5 November, 17:00, with artists.

Permanent exhibition

Voltaire lived here — and that alone makes Les Délices worth knowing about. The historic residence houses manuscripts, artworks, and documents related to the philosopher and the Enlightenment. Access is more limited than at a conventional museum, so it works best as a special-visit recommendation.

15 September – 15 November

Cameroonian photographer and visual artist Martin Abega presents a body of work that transforms image into material. Combining photography with textiles, embroidery, cowrie shells and charcoal, he stages photographic compositions and object-based pieces that investigate metamorphosis of body and mind. Themes of ordeal, fragility, trace, transmission and regeneration recur, often through the female figure as emblem. Curated by Ngalula Mafwata, the work opens a contemplative space that asks what remains after transformation.

Opening: 15 September, 18:00
Art’péro: 5 & 12 November, 18:00
Closing: 14 November, 18:00
Coffee & talk with Marc Coulibaly: 15 November, 10:00
