Alibert and the Arve: Writings of the River

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.

Winning photographers of the Giga Photo Award 2026 examine what connection means when infrastructures are fragile or unevenly distributed.
Through documentary and reportage photography, the series traces stories of connection under pressure: youth-led digital movements in Kenya, improvised rooftop newsrooms in Sudan, remote classrooms in Ukraine and prison cells in Argentina where phones sustain family ties. The works reveal connectivity as both lifeline and point of tension, questioning who can connect, when, and at what cost.

Measures of Infinity brings together works by Susanna Bauer, Frankie Gao and Carol Prusa in a contemplative exhibition of drawings, installations and meticulously crafted objects. Bauer transforms fragile leaves into intricate, almost meditative compositions; Gao offers pared-back drawings and open installations that evoke cosmic structures; Prusa constructs pieces informed by scientific models and unseen phenomena.

3 July – 5 September

Chris Lovasoa Kauffmann presents a new body of work that explores architectural form and symbolic resonance through sculpture, painting and installation. Minimal geometries and textured surfaces negotiate scale and monumentality, while layered materials and subtle color shifts invite reflection on construction, memory and cultural lineage. The works balance rigorous formalism with tactile evidence of process, proposing an austere yet intimate meditation on how built forms shape perception and collective narratives.
