Located in Jonction, the Usine Kugler is a cultural space situated within a former industrial building. Serving as a hub for the local art scene, the site accommodates numerous artists’ studios, offering both emerging and established artists a platform to present their work and interact with the public. The venue hosts a diverse range of events year-round, including exhibitions, concerts, and performances.
Bazartifices celebrates twenty years of Ensemble Vortex in a communal sonic feast. The evening mixes sound installations and workshops with a concert programme: Benoît Morel (prepared snare and video), Patrick Schleuter (Reactable), Daniel Zea (Desplaza_2 and Chin!), Anne Gillot (radiophonic confessional), plus new works by Fernando Garnero and pieces for electric guitars by John Menoud, Arturo Corrales and Antoine Läng. The programme blends electroacoustic creation, live electronics and participatory scores, creating a tactile, magnetic soundscape that invites improvisation and collective play.
Luis Marques presents DEEP BLUE and INTERMITTENCES, two series of drawing-based works that transform line into landscape, rhythm and breath. DEEP BLUE offers expansive fields of blue where delicate marks build textured, contemplative seascapes. INTERMITTENCES reworks reclaimed screen-print test papers, letting traces, stains and accidents enter a patient process of repeated lines. Using pens, markers and even sewing thread, Marques negotiates control and chance, producing intimate topographies that meditate on time, repetition, memory and material transformation.
Opening: 2 September, 18:00
Closing: 13 September, 18:00
Students from the Centre de formation professionnelle en Arts (CFP Arts) present collective projects imagining Geneva in the second half of the twenty‑first century. Through garments, jewellery, ceramics, videos, comics, choreography, urban furniture, installations and digital or graphic works, they stage speculative scenarios—from utopian reinventions to dystopian provocations. Employing craft, performance, film and design strategies, the works probe technological, environmental and social futures, asking how everyday life, material culture and public space might be transformed.
Opening: Wednesday 9 September, 18:00.
Aldo Locatelli presents a diverse body of work spanning decades, rooted in experimentation and improvisation.
Paintings in oil, mixed-media pieces, ink drawings, sculptures, floral assemblages under plexiglas and repurposed objects converse through a tactile visual language. His practice moves between abstraction and figuration, privileging matter, color and gestural mark-making to explore observation, the living world and unexpected material affinities. The show reveals a restless creativity driven by curiosity, collage-like associations and continual recomposition.
Opening: Wednesday, 16 September, 18:00
Closing event: Sunday, 27 September, 17:00
