Art Genève / Musique: Before Demolition & Art Party

As part of Art Genève / Musique 2026, the Temple de la Servette presents Before Demolition, a cycle of performances exploring space in transition through body, voice, and sound. Curated by Augustin Maurs with co-curator Catherine Othenin-Girard, the program features works by Monica Bonvicini, Alicia Frankovich, Hanne Lippard with Renato Grieco, and a live set by Bonnie Banane, followed by a DJ set from Jan Vorisek. This edition responds to the impending demolition of the brutalist temple building, celebrating ephemeral, performative, and sonic creations that dismantle, challenge, and renew.
