Yvan Salomone — 2611

Art & Exhibits

Galerie Sonia Zannettacci

Yvan Salomone presents a series of recent watercolours that transform anonymous buildings and soulless industrial sites into evocative landscapes. Through delicate, velvety tones, subtle colour modulations and watery traces that suggest life, the artist elevates banal subjects and transfigures objective reality. The exhibition’s title, 2611, alludes to Salomone’s practice of assigning eleven‑letter titles composed from the alphabet, producing names that detach the work from literal description and invite poetic reading.

Opening: Thursday 7 May , 16:00

Mosaïques

Art & Exhibits

Villa Dutoit

Three artists—Adriana Passini, Frédérique Haessig and Érica Mugny—present a collective exhibition that traces a dialogue between poetry and the natural world. Passini’s delicate engravings, Haessig’s carved stone sculptures and Mugny’s mixed-media paintings explore gesture, texture and material memory. The show foregrounds traditional print and sculptural techniques alongside painterly surfaces, and references several illustrated volumes produced in collaboration with the artists, offering a thoughtful encounter with form and narrative.

Opening: Friday 5 June, 18:30

Elisabetta Bergonzo & Corinne Kohli – Poésies végétales

Art & Exhibits

Galerie Séries Rares

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

Crossings

Art & Exhibits

Gowen Contemporary

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.

Surfaces

Art & Exhibits

Espace L

Surfaces brings together eight contemporary artists—Jörg Brockmann, Nicolas Delaroche, Teodelina Detry, Nacoca Ko, Mila Mayer, Maya Rochat, Julien Spiewak and Gabriel Wickbold—to examine the material and perceptual qualities of photographic surfaces. Works range from scratched negatives and sculpted prints to ceramic transfers and screen-based pieces. The exhibition foregrounds texture, tactility and the interplay of light and matter, considering how photographic supports shape memory, embodiment and the boundaries between analogue and digital practices.

Observatories — Carte blanche to John M Armleder

Art & Exhibits

MAH

John M Armleder presents an interchange-based exhibition that foregrounds objects drawn from students’ suitcases. Through object-based works and subtle interventions, the show probes modes of observation, intimacy and collective memory. Personal belongings are rearranged as visual prompts that evoke histories, pedagogy and everyday cinematics. The artist’s restrained interventions invite reflection on how small domestic items circulate meanings and facilitate encounters, revealing how private narratives surface within a communal field of attention.
