After its initial establishment as a non-profit off-space in Vienna, Galerie Mezzanin transitioned into a commercial gallery before relocating in Geneva in 2015, finding its place in the vibrant Quartier des Bains. The gallery curates approximately five exhibitions annually, with a dedicated emphasis on showcasing the works of international emerging artists and fostering the growth of their careers
Isabella Ducrot’s work reflects a refined attention to material, pattern, and the emotional life of surfaces. In Land, her visual language unfolds through a balance of restraint and density, where form, texture, and repetition suggest landscapes, memory, and quiet transformations. The exhibition invites viewers to linger over subtle variations and pictorial rhythms, revealing how simple elements can carry poetic and conceptual weight. Ducrot’s practice resonates with a meditation on seeing, presence, and the fragile persistence of images.
Opening: Thursday 12 November, 18:00 (Nuit des Bains)
Artist Lou Masdurand presents a recent body of work that interrogates memory and materiality through layered painting and sculptural assemblage. Using oil, collage and found materials, Masdurand builds textured surfaces and precarious forms that record time and erosion. The exhibition examines thresholds between private recollection and shared history, privileging tactility, repetition and subtle ruptures in composition. Works demand sustained attention, inviting viewers to consider processes of making as traces of cultural and personal narrative.
Opening: Thursday 17 September, 18:00
Lou Masduraud in conversation with Julien Fronsacq : 4 November, 19:00
Diego Cibelli presents an exhibition that considers notions of futurity and personal trajectory. Through a practice that blends installation, photographic fragments and sculptural assemblage, Cibelli interrogates memory, migration and the acts of anticipating life to come. The works deploy found materials, layered imagery and subtle spatial interventions to create a provisional narrative space where biography, material traces and collective histories converge.
Summer cocktail : Thursday 2 July, 18:00 – 21:00
Gianni Motti is a Swiss conceptual artist known for blurring the boundaries between art, politics and everyday life. Often working through interventions, performances and symbolic gestures, he inserts himself into real-world situations—from institutions to public events—to question power, authorship and the role of the artist. His provocative and often humorous works invite audiences to reconsider what art can be and where it can happen.
Opening : during the Nuit des Bains, Thursday 12 March, 18:00
Closing event : in conversation with Marc-Olivier Wahler, Tuesday 12 May, 18:00-21:00
For his first solo exhibition in Geneva, Gregor Hildebrandt transforms Galerie Mezzanin into a poetic space of memory and transformation. Using materials such as magnetic tape, vinyl records, and audio cassettes, he reinterprets the physical traces of the analog world, turning familiar forms into sculptural and pictorial works. His installations evoke themes of transfer, nostalgia, and the fragility of memory, reminding us that remembrance once had a tangible medium. Balancing irony and reverence, Hildebrandt questions the role of the artist in an age dominated by digital reproduction, suggesting that art now resides not in direct representation of reality, but in the layered density of collective memory and desire.
Opening: Thursday November 13, 18:00 – 21:00
