Located in the heart of Carouge, the Musée de Carouge is primarily dedicated to preserving the town’s heritage and organizing temporary exhibitions related to local life. These exhibitions often delve into the history of Carouge and its residents. The museum actively participates in local events, such as the Printemps Carougeois and the Parcours Céramique Carougeois, and offers public guided tours and children’s workshops for each exhibition.
Painter Éric Alibert presents a sensitive, meditative body of work inspired by the banks of the Arve. Using Chinese ink and watercolor on Japanese papers, his small-format writings of the living observe the discreet presences of urban wildlife. Through careful observation Alibert explores passages between interior and exterior, appearance and disappearance, proposing a contemplative, ecological gaze that brings wildness into the city and invites reflection on fragility and coexistence.
Selected works from the 20th Concours international de céramique present contemporary approaches to clay across functional and sculptural practices. The exhibition gathers emerging and established makers whose pieces range from wheel-thrown vessels and hand-built forms to experimental sculptural objects and site-aware installations. Emphasis is placed on technique, surface treatment and material research, revealing diverse glazing, firing and modeling strategies. Curatorial selection highlights formal innovation and dialogue between tradition and experimentation within contemporary ceramic practice.
