Afro-Caribbean Stories

Afro‑Caribbean Stories brings together works by Ivonne González Núñez and Laura Arminda Kingsley that weave narratives of memory, identity and visibility rooted in Afro‑Caribbean cosmologies. Through photography, writing, performance, painting, digital imagery and sculpture, the artists examine heritage, resistance, creolisation and the interconnections of the living. The exhibition pairs intimate archival gestures with experimental material practices to reveal layered histories and speculative modes of belonging.

Opening: 28 May, 18:00

7 – 30 May

At the heart of sacred earth, Jean-Marie Borgeaud’s exhibition explores the profound relationship between the human body, spirituality, and raw material. Through powerful ceramic sculptures and organic forms shaped by fire, smoke, and clay, the artist reveals a world suspended between fragility and strength, life and transformation. Deeply inspired by the human condition and the elemental force of matter, Borgeaud’s work invites viewers into an intimate, almost ritual encounter with the earth, where scars, textures, and imperfections become traces of memory and existence.

Opening: 7 May, 17:30

21 May – 20 June

Patterns explores the repetition and assembly of everyday industrial objects — trinkets, cups, CDs, rollers, sponges, pens, combs, buttons, sweets — organised into handcrafted systems of duplication constrained by physical properties. The works, presented as floor installations and photographic prints, emphasise how form, weight, volume, materiality and colour determine compositional logic, subverting original function. The new photographic series pttrnb2026 / Top Shots, made in dialogue with Boris Rabusseau, foregrounds motif structure over object recognition.

Opening: Thursday 21 May, 18:00

20 May – 4 July

Physis presents a two-person dialogue between sculptor Ernst Gamperl and the drawing practice of Shunshun. Gamperl’s internationally recognised sculptures, rooted in exceptional woodwork, explore growth, material presence and a generative life force. Shunshun’s delicate, layered line drawings shift from architectural training to intimate studies of spatial depth and quiet emotional resonance. Together the works consider intergenerational perspectives on form, technique and the elemental meanings of nature.

Opening: Wednesday 20 May, 17:00

29 January – 25 October

John M Armleder presents an interchange-based exhibition that foregrounds objects drawn from students’ suitcases. Through object-based works and subtle interventions, the show probes modes of observation, intimacy and collective memory. Personal belongings are rearranged as visual prompts that evoke histories, pedagogy and everyday cinematics. The artist’s restrained interventions invite reflection on how small domestic items circulate meanings and facilitate encounters, revealing how private narratives surface within a communal field of attention.

6 May – 25 July

Carlo D’Anselmi presents paintings that emerge from imagination, assembling figures, animals and landscapes into dreamlike compositions defined by colour, textured surfaces and a quietly emotive atmosphere. The exhibition considers painting as a silent language that unfolds through attention, light and time, while mountains assert themselves through scale and presence. Developed during the artist’s first stay in Switzerland overlooking the French Alps, the works respond to shifting rhythms and seasonal transformations in the landscape.

7 – 28 mai

Gérard de Palézieux’s illustrated books are presented in a curated selection of some fifty volumes showcasing original prints—etchings and lithographs—that reveal the artist’s draughtsmanship and graphic sensibility. The presentation focuses on the dialogue between image and text, highlighting sequence, typography and the hand of the illustrator. Many volumes come from the library of a prominent European bibliophile; a new catalogue accompanies the selection, documenting plates, editions and printing techniques.
