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.
Elisabetta Bergonzo and Corinne Kohli present complementary works exploring vegetal and mineral imaginaries. Bergonzo transforms clay into intimate surfaces where traces of reverie and fleeting emotions are captured, creating sculptural fragments of interior landscape. Kohli gathers foliage through contemplative observation, producing delicate vegetal imprints and assemblages that echo whispered conversations with the living. Together their ceramic and botanical practices weave a quiet, poetic dialogue between memory, materiality and the tensions of presence and absence.
Opening: Wednesday 27 May, 18:00
Closing event: Saturday 13 June, 11:00 – 17:00
Dream Up brings together modern, post‑war and contemporary works that materialize imagination, memory, fantasy and inner vision across painting, sculpture and mixed media. The presentation juxtaposes iconic figures—Pablo Picasso, Marc Chagall, Willem de Kooning, Jean Dubuffet, Roy Lichtenstein, Yayoi Kusama, Niki de Saint Phalle, Tom Wesselmann, Manolo Valdés and Jaume Plensa—with contemporary voices including Andy Denzler, Fred Eerdekens and Feng Xiao‑Min. New works created for the occasion converse with historical pieces to generate poetic, visually intense dialogues.
MABE Gallery presents Forza Silenziosa, the second solo exhibition of Sofia Cacciapaglia, whose paintings evoke a quiet, fluid world where forms, bodies, and landscapes gently merge, expressing a soft yet powerful feminine presence rooted in emotion, connection, and subtle energy.
Her work emphasizes transformation, intimacy, and dreamlike atmospheres, where silence carries intensity. Using reclaimed cardboard from her Milan neighborhood, she connects to the ethos of Arte Povera—a movement theorized by Germano Celant and associated with artists like Michelangelo Pistoletto and Jannis Kounellis—by embracing ‘poor’ materials and their histories; however, she diverges through her distinctly figurative and painterly approach, transforming humble surfaces into poetic images that bridge material awareness with narrative, imagination, and contemporary femininity.
Opening: Thursday 7 May, 16:00 – 21:00

Opening: Thursday 21 May at 18:00
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
The International Museum of the Red Cross and Red Crescent presents the first European solo exhibition of Guatemalan Maya Kaqchikel artist Angélica Serech (*1982). Pach’un Q’ijul (Temps entrelacés – Deep Time) intertwines ancestral weaving gestures with personal and collective memory, drawing on Serech’s history shaped by Guatemala’s civil war. Using self-built looms and natural materials like corn husks and branches, her works explore resilience, repair, and the deep ties between textile traditions and humanitarian action.
