Curator Stéphanie-Aloysia Moretti guides a thematic encounter linking visual works from the collection with archival sound recordings.
The presentation pairs attentive listening with close looking to investigate how sonic fragments reframe perception of images and objects. It explores memory, performance and the archival impulse, considering how recorded sound activates alternative narratives within visual collections. The format emphasizes curatorial dialogue and shared listening as tools to reveal hidden connections between sound and sight.

CHRONOPOLIS

Art & Exhibits Cool Stuff

Brasserie des Halles de L'île

CHRONOPOLIS gathers twenty independent watchmakers presenting wristwatches that combine mechanical ingenuity and contemporary design. The fair foregrounds artisanal techniques—manual finishing, small-scale production and micro-mechanical innovation—across objects, prototypes and limited editions.
Themes of independence, authenticity and dialogue recur as makers prioritise accessibility and exchange over commercial spectacle. The presentation reveals how craft, material choice and design language shape personal timekeeping, inviting close encounters with the processes and values that sustain independent watchmaking.

Time to Watches

Art & Exhibits

Palexpo

Time to Watches gathers over eighty-five independent watch brands and creators to showcase contemporary watchmaking. The presentation focuses on timepieces and objects that explore design, technical innovation and artisanal craft, from compact mechanical constructions to conceptual editions. A village-like layout frames varied atmospheres where exhibitions, demonstrations and hands-on workshops invite close attention to materiality, finishing and the makers’ processes. The event reveals how independent practice negotiates tradition, experimentation and the social rituals surrounding time.

Leah Linh: Goya’s Nightmare

Art & Exhibits

La Menuiserie

“Drawing on Francisco Goya’s witch engravings and Tauromachia series, the project uses the monster, ritual, and satire as languages to express social, political, and mediated violence — normalized over time. Goya’s Nightmare is not a story of the past, but a dark prism through which to view our present. It seeks to reveal what remains unseen: violence against women when it stops being decorative and becomes systemic.” — Leah Linh

Salvatore Emblema – May 1972

Art & Exhibits

SOMA

May 1972 is an exhibition dedicated to Salvatore Emblema (Naples, 1929–2006), bringing together works produced between the late 1960s and the early 1980s. Across paintings, sculptures and installations, Emblema refines a conceptual language that interrogates materiality, form and temporality. The presentation highlights his experimental use of found materials, assemblage and reductive gestures, situating these works within postwar Italian avant‑garde practices and the artist’s evolving exploration of spatial and epistemic limits.
