Participating artists include Timothée Calame, Valentin Carron, Emilie Ding, Sylvie Fleury, among others.

Carine Bovey presents her heartfelt illustrations at the Espace Kugler Gallery. Using eyeshadow, she captures joyful moments in her “Skiss” series, and features inclusive portraits in the Polaroid XL series. Her sketches, blending graphite and makeup, are inspired by her travels and emphasize the value of human connections in our increasingly digital world. Her work recurrently explores themes of biophilia and societal taboos, often incorporating unconventional materials such as saffron.

25 – 29 June

The AMR Festival brings Parc des Cropettes to life with five days of free open-air concerts celebrating jazz and improvised music. In a laid-back, summery atmosphere, local and international artists take the stage for an eclectic mix of sounds, from bold experiments to groovy rhythms.

Events running for an extended period

11 June – 13 July

The exhibition delves into the garden as a symbol of dialogue between humans and their environment through a series of installations and sculptures. Positioned in everyday transit spaces, the artworks challenge our coexistence with infrastructures and showcase the garden as an ecosystem where humans, plants, insects, and microorganisms interact. Two pieces, created in collaboration with the BIG, will be displayed in the community ahead of the Biennale Intrepide des Espaces d’Art in Geneva. Free guided tours are available upon registration.

16 April – 6 July

DOM

Delphine Reist and Laurent Faulon transform Villa Bernasconi with an immersive exhibition that returns each room to its original function. Through object-based artworks, automatons, accumulations, and scale shifts, they craft an atmosphere of eeriness and unease. Faulon converts the villa into an ambiguous space, while Reist examines alienating work practices. Their works engage in a dialogue on private, social, and political themes. The exhibition is accompanied by a variety of events, including tours, performances, readings, lectures, and workshops for children.

29 January – 14 September

The Barbier-Mueller Museum presents “Échos,” an exhibition where photographer Jean-Baptiste Huynh explores the museum’s works through his artistic lens. This sensitive and aesthetic approach encourages reflection on universal themes such as birth, life, aging, and death.

15 May – 29 July

Olivier Varenne presents a new group exhibition featuring works by major modern and contemporary artists, including John Armleder, Jean Dubuffet, Chiharu Shiota, and Dana Schutz. The show explores the intersections of materiality, gesture, and perception through a wide range of artistic approaches, creating a dynamic dialogue across generations and disciplines.

5 June – 31 July

Every Thursday evening this summer, Jardin des Nations comes alive with open-air concerts in a laid-back, friendly atmosphere. Enjoy live music under the trees, discover local talent, and grab a drink or a bite from the on-site food stands. Free entry, every Thursday from 6 p.m.
