Art in the Garden

Free, booking required

An outdoor project presenting works by various contemporary artists sited throughout a public garden. The exhibition stages a dialogue between art and landscape through sculptural and outdoor works that reveal changing relationships of scale, material and season. Using diverse materials and formats, the pieces question how context reshapes meaning, inviting close looking and unexpected encounters along pathways. The show considers the poetic and civic dimensions of placing art in nature, and the stories objects bring into shared outdoor spaces.

In French.

28 May – 10 September

Crossings brings together Swiss artist Maria Ceppi and Japanese artist Tami Ichino in a poetic dialogue exploring memory, transformation, and the hidden resonance of everyday forms. Through sculpture, painting, and assemblage, the artists reinterpret familiar materials and natural elements into evocative compositions that move between abstraction and recognition. Blending intuition, symbolism, and material experimentation, the exhibition creates immersive spaces where personal narratives intersect with broader reflections on nature, coexistence, perception, and the shifting relationship between humanity and the world around us. Hosted by GOWEN Contemporary, Crossings invites viewers into a contemplative journey where objects, landscapes, and emotions continuously evolve across forms, meanings, and states of being.

Presented from the private collection of Giuseppe Garrera and curated by Andrea Bellini and Giuseppe Garrera, this exhibition assembles an array of diminutive found objects — trinkets, charms, gadgets, toys, lucky charms and fragments of wood, cloth and glass — rescued from mundane life by artists’ gestures. Hovering between toy, everyday artefact and artwork, the presentation explores the thaumaturgic qualities of objects and childhood as a site of refuge and wonder.

4 June – 9 August

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.
