Yvan Alvarez: Sun Dust

Yvan Alvarez presents Sun Dust, an exhibition that invites viewers into a restrained yet luminous visual world. The works suggest a dialogue between material presence and atmospheric subtlety, where surfaces, textures, and tonal shifts become central to the experience. Through a focused pictorial language, the exhibition explores light, residue, and the traces left by time. Rather than narrating a single story, it opens a contemplative space for sensing, reflection, and quiet observation.

Opening: Thursday 12 November, 18:00 (Nuit des Bains)

7 – 28 November

Vera Jud presents a series of twenty bas-reliefs carved in steatite, where subtle relief and material tactility investigate corporeal presence and memory. Monique Kozuchowski offers three ensembles of works that focus on gesture, colour and drawing, exploring the performative act of mark-making and chromatic relationships. Together the exhibitions stage a dialogue between carved monumentality and painterly immediacy, emphasising surface, touch and the body as a site of layered histories and expressive potential.

Opening as part of ArtCarouge Saturday 7 et Sunday 8 November from 11:00 to 17:00
Closing : 28 November from 11:00 to 17:00

Permanent exhibition

There’s another Geneva beneath the Old Town. Descend under St Peter’s Cathedral to walk through more than 2,000 years of history, from pre-Christian remains to the city’s earliest churches. It’s one of those places you can walk past a hundred times without guessing what lies beneath.

11 October – 7 January

The Acedia project by French photographer Louise Desnos offers a contemplative photographic exploration of slowness, fatigue and intimacy. Through sensitive, minimalist compositions and staged portraits, Desnos elevates inertia and non-events into a quiet poetics. The series examines idleness as resistance, a space for introspection and for reclaiming autonomy. Photographs emphasize material textures, soft light and the presence of bodies at rest, inviting viewers to reconsider cultural prejudices about productivity and rest.

Permanent exhibition

Two centuries of Geneva history told through uniforms, photographs, posters, equipment, and personal objects. Rather than simply lining up military artefacts, the museum places them back into the events and stories that shaped the canton from the Restoration to the present day.

17 October – 10 December

This exhibition explores furniture as both functional object and cultural form, inviting viewers to consider how design shapes everyday life. Through carefully presented pieces, it highlights material choices, proportions, and craftsmanship, while opening a dialogue between utility and aesthetic expression. The selection suggests a contemporary perspective on domestic space, where furniture becomes a site for reflection on taste, use, and the quiet poetry of made things.

16 September – 14 November

Live Language Model brings together a collective exhibition that unfolds across successive sequences, presenting works and critical reflections on attention at the intersection of language and presence. The programme features performance-based pieces by the duo Calling the Operator (Axelle Stiefel and Octave Magescas) alongside new editions and sculptural installations by Thomas Hirschhorn and Olivier Mosset. Through typographic interventions, printed matter, performance and austere minimal forms, the project interrogates how language conditions perception and the social life of objects.
