A contemporary art center housed in a 17th-century building, La Ferme de La Chapelle alongside Villa Bernasconi, is one of two art centers managed by the city of Lancy. With five exhibitions of contemporary art each year, accompanied by various events, its mission is to support and promote culture for all.
Swiss artist Grégory Sugnaux presents a body of paintings that stage ambiguous, often hybrid figures—part human, part animal, serial androids and distorted, sometimes monstrous bodies. Combining grotesque allusion with ironic self-reflection, he mixes genres and pictorial techniques to render surfaces alternately smooth and vibrating, fracturing legibility.
A composed soundtrack threads through the installation, amplifying the exhibition’s uneasy pulsation. The works negotiate a fragile balance between fascination and self-critique, revealing vulnerability beneath playful, unsettling imagery.
For the finissage of teh exhibition Almost Tender, Christian Schulz will lead a poetic reading through the exhibition spaces of the Ferme de la Chapelle. In a guided drift lasting around fifteen minutes — from the attic to the ruins of the former chapel outside — visitors will follow a moving reading of a poem on time and rhythm, extending the exhibition’s sound composition. Written and performed in English, Schulz’s native language, the piece echoes the oral tradition of the Beat Generation, where voice, breath and rhythm carry thought through space.
