Located in the heart of Geneva near Place Neuve, the Parc des Bastions is a historic and picturesque green space known for its lush gardens, tree-lined promenades, and iconic Reformation Wall.
Surrounded by museums and university faculties, the park offers various amenities including the popular café-restaurant, Kiosque des Bastions, a playground, giant chess boards, and expansive lawns perfect for picnics and relaxation.
Swiss artist Andreas Kressig presents Station 505, a temporary sculpture-pavilion conceived as an architectural and sensory intervention. Built in relation to an existing fountain, the work paradoxically conceals and reveals water while offering both an exterior sculpture to contemplate and an interior space to inhabit. Through material presence and spatial thresholds it interrogates public versus private realms. The project is activated by shared moments with the artist centred on a communal tea service and reflections on its diverse cultural interpretations.
Opening: 23 September, 17:00
