The exhibition invites you on a journey through anatomical models, casts, waxworks, and illustrated antique books. Modern tools like microscopy, medical imaging, and 3D printing uncover the inner workings of organs, currently utilized by medical students at the University of Geneva. This is a collaboration with the University of Geneva. Some images may not be suitable for younger or sensitive audiences.
Iris Leroyer presents Rez:urgence, a series of material-based works exploring contemporary urgencies—ecological, social and philosophical. Working through matter and its memories, Leroyer probes tipping points between entropic decay and regenerative processes, where the living oscillates between collapse and resurgence. The exhibition gathers tactile, process-oriented pieces that reveal histories embedded in materials and invite reflection on emergence, imbalance and the possible forms of renewal. It forms a chapter of the artist’s Opus Carbone project at the intersection of art and ecology.
The exhibition delves into the realism, drama, and emotional intensity of 17th-century Dutch artists influenced by Caravaggio. The works of Gerrit van Honthorst and Judith Leyster exemplify the bold use of light and shadow to capture everyday life with theatrical intensity. Their contributions left a significant impact on the art of the era, paving the way for new expressions of the human condition.
Opening during the Art en Vieille-Ville collective vernissage on Thursday, November 6, from 16:00 to 21:00.
Swiss artist Jean-Philippe Kalonji presents a sensitive series of portrait drawings that probe identity, memory and human presence. Working mainly with graphite and water-based media, he renders subtle gestures and gazes that bridge inner life and outward expression. The works range from intimate, near-figurative studies to more spare, contemplative surfaces, employing contemporary drawing techniques to question how portraiture reveals emotion and history. The exhibition invites deliberate, close looking at the human figure.
Senegalese artists Mao Sidibé and Def Mama Def, together with dancers from École des Sables, present Oya – Clima Yaakaar, a collective project responding to the climate crisis. The work merges music, contemporary African dance and photography to foreground the health impacts of environmental change on vulnerable communities. Photographer Sylvain Cherkaoui contributes a visual layer that links performance with lived experience and humanitarian realities. The project evokes resilience and calls attention to collective hope and urgent care.
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.
Mauren Brodbeck presents Imperfect Laughter, a series of unique risograph prints that foreground experimentation, sensuality and the beauty of error.
Through layered inks, bleeding, misalignment and photographic traces that appear and dissolve, the works combine printmaking and photographic gestures. Themes of bodily pleasure, spontaneity and the acceptance of accident run through the series. These unretouched pieces celebrate hesitation, overflow and the visible traces of moments when colour, touch and chance make images vibrate.
