Villa Bernasconi is a contemporary art center located in Grand-Lancy, within a park along the Aire river. Housed in a 19th-century mansion, it offers a dynamic program including exhibitions, performances, readings, and workshops. Dedicated to contemporary practices, it presents several shows per year ranging from visual arts to comics and illustration. Both accessible and rooted in its local context, it bridges architectural heritage and contemporary creation on the outskirts of Geneva.
Double vernissage brings together an ephemeral collective of illustrators presenting Fuite au Marché Machin and Alexandra Maurer’s video installation Wasserfront.
The collective exhibition features works by Melchior Best, Hannah de Carpentier, Coline Davaud, Fred Fivaz, Juliette Mancini, Romain Pereira, Audrey Ramos, Fanny Rose György, Tommy Smits, Marie-Yaé Suematsu, Cassandre Tornay and Fabio Zimbres following a residency; it showcases contemporary illustration practices and collaborative exchange.
