All Events at this Venue

17 September – 29 October

Artists Ana D and Noora K present a dreamlike photographic project probing transparency, memory and perception. Through layered photographs, lenticular prints and sculptural extensions of the image, the duo uses superposition, diffusion and formal alteration to reveal overlapping temporalities and interior images.
The works deploy spatial configurations where fragments of lived experience shift, associate and recombine, positioning photography as a territory of projection and transformation. Curated by Myriam Bongard‑Stadler, Dreams navigates the border between sleep and wakefulness.

5 August – 12 September

Transparences, saison II brings together painter Fanny Gagliardini and sculptor Mireille Fulpius in a dialogue between surface and volume. Gagliardini’s paintings build depth through colour and translucency on fine linen, with mirrors and shifting natural light modulating perception of matter and space.
Fulpius’s thermolacquered metal sculptures—cut, folded and assembled—explore line, structure and void; their open forms admit light and extend perspectives. Curated by Myriam Bongard-Stadler, the exhibition examines how opacity and transparency shape construction and perception.

4 June – 25 July

Christine Gaillard and Chantal Carrel present a dialogue between painting and sculpture that probes transparency as an experience of light, space and perception. Gaillard’s paintings employ layered surfaces, subtle rhythms and luminous chromatic variations to invite inward contemplation. Carrel’s sculptures—crafted in resin, stone and wood—play with geometry, refraction and shadow, activating volume and architectural relationships. Curated by Myriam Bongard-Stadler, the exhibition explores how materiality and light disclose hidden depths and questions of gaze.

6 – 29 May

Eliane Gygi presents a body of work where matter becomes light: painter, ceramicist and glass artist, she has developed since the 1980s compositions around glass and mirrors that evoke contemporary frescoes and mosaic-like textures. Her paintings and glass works balance presence and absence, with bold, luminous color fragments that capture and diffuse light beside bare mirrored surfaces that invite reflection. Alongside these, Gygi’s imagined architectural paintings depict clusters of asymmetrical houses in vivid landscapes. Maria Spada offers architectural jewellery—her Brutal Swiss series reimagines Swiss architecture, from Geneva fortifications to works by Zumthor and Botta, translating structural motifs into wearable forms.

1 – 17 April

Swiss artist Anna Grichting Solder presents a multidisciplinary investigation of borders as liminal, ecological and mnemonic zones.
Combining architectural drawings, models, palimpsest chess sets, videos, sound compositions, publications and archival material, the exhibition maps how social, cultural and ecological forces intersect across divided territories. Drawing on research in Berlin, Belfast, Nicosia, Korea and the Balkans, Grichting proposes borders as sites for healing, transboundary environmental initiatives and participatory design, and evokes how memory and imagination reconfigure contested landscapes.

11 – 29 March

Artisans from the Label Genève association present a group exhibition of urban works that bridges contemporary creation, craftsmanship, and technological innovation. The show brings together individual and collective pieces—furniture, objects and site-responsive interventions—that combine traditional techniques, material research and digital processes. Grounded in New Bauhaus principles of sustainability, circularity and interdisciplinarity, the works reveal demanding creative approaches, highlighting artisanal labour, experimental materials and dialogues between handmaking and technological evolution.
