L’Arcade is the Centre d’Art Contemporain Genève’s temporary exhibition space in the Mont‑Blanc Centre. It hosts contemporary art exhibitions, experimental projects, talks and events, offering a compact, visible platform for production and public engagement. Serving as an urban window on contemporary practice, it sustains the Centre’s programme during renovation of its main building.
Conceived by artist Pauline Coquart, Short Ass Attention Span #3 mixes literary experiment and live performance, assembling texts that range from apocalyptic sketches to risqué autofiction and political essays on sexuality. Editors and collaborators Ethan Assouline and Gaia Vincensini shaped the selection and the edition’s visual identity, while attentive editorial direction and inventive layout treat writing as performative material. The project foregrounds plural contemporary voices, shifting between intimate confession, sharp aphorism and sprawling narrative to create a charged, porous atmosphere.

Follow a farm full of surprises, a zebra that changes its stripes, a big-mouthed frog, and mischievous bats. These animated short films open a playful world of fantasy, humour, and poetry. Children and grown-ups can discover seven inventive women filmmakers and enjoy 50 minutes of colourful storytelling, lively images, and curious characters that spark imagination.

Inner Light is a collective of Kim Coussée, Eliott Villars and Gaïa Vincensini whose practice sits between art, craft and fashion. They transform printmaking into wearable forms, turning engraving into clothing and rethinking serial techniques. Working from a shared studio, their eight‑handed production applies alternative materials and unconventional methods to everyday objects, positioning craft as a radical gesture within contemporary fashion. For this project the group activates a street-facing storefront, using surfaces and shop furniture as components of the installation.
