Located on a lakefront jetty, the Bains des Pâquis is a popular “beach” during the summer and a sauna in the winter months. Throughout the year, it hosts and produces an extensive array of cultural events, including concerts, performances, lectures, and exhibitions. One noteworthy highlight is “Les Aubes,” a series of early morning concerts and performances that grace the summer season.
MAMCO presents Dial‑A‑Poem Switzerland, a telephone-based poetic broadcasting project inspired by John Giorno. The installation transforms a decommissioned phone booth into a listening station, gathering recorded voices from across Switzerland’s linguistic regions. The programme features contributions by poets and artists exploring language, public space and oral transmission, alternating recorded and live readings. Conceived with Giorno Poetry Systems, the project foregrounds voice as material and communal listening as a poetic practice.
Virginie Jean, a rebouteuse de vaches (cow bone setter), practices an empirical, hands-on tradition of animal care transmitted outside academic veterinary frameworks. Her work relies on close observation, listening to bodies and skilled touch.
This discussion examines tensions between scientific veterinary medicine and traditional practices, exploring whether these methods are an art, popular knowledge, or a form of magic. It addresses legitimacy, coexistence, and what caring for animals reveals about our relation to the living.
