GamMAH, located on the Promenade du Pin, is an extension of the Musée d’art et d’histoire (MAH). It offers an alternative space where the museum’s collections can be explored in new ways, combining exhibitions with opportunities for social interaction. The venue also hosts smaller, more intimate events that encourage informal discussions about art and history.
Cosima Weiter performs a staged reading of her autobiographical text Morte et vive, accompanied by musician Laurent Vichard whose live sound punctuates the narration. The piece moves between lyric poetry and intimate testimony, privileging the sonic textures of language and silence. Published by Les éditions Gros Textes, the performance frames memory and voice as communal experience, alternating quiet introspection and rhythmic swells to draw listeners into an embodied, resonant portrait.

Bernard Salomon (c.1508–c.1561) is presented through his woodcut matrices and associated prints, drawings and early printed books. The exhibition focuses on wood-engraved matrices—over a hundred from the collection—and the techniques of Renaissance book illustration. It examines the material and visual economy of early publishing: how images were carved, reproduced and circulated, and how matrices shaped narrative and ornament. The works reveal the craft of printmaking and the enduring role of images in sixteenth-century textual culture.

Giulia Angrisani, a futurologist and facilitator, leads participatory laboratories that use storytelling for speculative inquiry and critical reflection on social futures.
The workshop examines storytelling as a tool of resistance, decolonization and transformation, exploring how alternative narratives reconnect past and future, awaken collective imagination, and propose desirable, possible futures. Participants experiment with speculative techniques to reframe dominant stories and imagine practical pathways for social change.

Survey of Carlos Schwabe and Swiss symbolists reveals the poetic intensity of fin-de-siècle graphic art.
Drawings, prints and rare books on paper articulate allegory, mysticism and the decorative register of the Rose+Croix aesthetic. The works reflect a Parisian community of Swiss artists in the 1890s, receptive to innovations by Puvis de Chavannes and Rodin. Selected sheets and printed material from museum reserves highlight exchanges between personal myth-making and broader symbolist visual language.
Olivier Hamant’s lecture delves into the shortcomings of traditional measurement and evaluation tools in capturing the complexity of artistic and collective processes. Drawing inspiration from living systems, it suggests alternative approaches that are slower, more flexible, and aligned with relational dynamics and unseen transformations, as part of a collaboration between MAH and least.
