Arts and Traditions of Southeast Asia

Artisans and makers from Southeast Asia present a curated selection of traditional and ceremonial objects that highlight regional craftsmanship. The exhibition assembles textiles, carved forms and everyday artifacts to explore material histories, ritual meaning and the transmission of skill across generations. Using predominantly traditional techniques, the works evoke questions of cultural memory, continuity and the shifting relations between local practices and global audiences. It reveals how objects carry layered narratives of place, belief and identity.

PCC 2024 presents a city-wide parcours of contemporary ceramics by a collective of local and regional ceramists. The programme showcases functional and sculptural work, installations and experimental glazing techniques that interrogate surface, form and material memory. Through dialogues between craft and concept, the parcours highlights processes such as wheel-throwing, hand-building and mixed-media collaborations, inviting reflection on the cultural and tactile histories embedded in clay.

17 September – 15 December

Dia al-Azzawi presents a new ensemble of recent paintings and sculptures that trace a dialogue between the artist’s interior worlds and his engagement with landscape. In the “Inner Worlds” strand he probes memory, introspection, human relationships and domestic spaces that inform his imagery. In “Under Open Skies” the gaze widens to gardens, light and natural vistas, with recurring references to the Jardin Majorelle in Marrakech. The works combine expressive painting techniques with sculptural presence and a poetic modernist language.

Opening: Thursday 17 September, 18:00

17 September – 24 October

Curated by Leticia Maciel, Flora Incognita brings together works by David Elia, Marius Margot, Vivianne van Singer, Heberth Sobral and Vasilis Zografos to explore unclassified plant worlds as a metaphor for artistic practices that resist fixed categories. Ceramics form a central thread: clay appears as a material of memory and transformation in Sobral’s, Zografos’s and Elia’s work. Elia’s cyanotypes probe botanical archives and classification systems, van Singer investigates colour and perception, and Margot proposes speculative vegetal ecologies where nature and fiction converge.

12 July – 1 October

Photographer Florian Luthi’s Fantômes Météores is inspired by the 1954 wave of UFO sightings across France, especially along the Franco‑Swiss border. From one of these accounts he revisits childhood landscapes—mist‑shrouded forests, deserted villages and the Jura—and composes a photographic narrative where truth wavers and legends endure. The series uses long exposures, muted palettes and staged absence to probe memory, collective fear and the boundary between documentary and myth. A collaboration with Fondation Convergences.

17 September – 3 November

Swiss artist Seline Burn presents a series of about a dozen paintings that explore liminal territories where identities, emotions and relationships transform. Figures in motion, in relation or in passage emerge from an omnipresent water, which functions as memory, inner landscape and dream space. Recurring colours weave a sensitive thread through contrasts and tensions across the works. The exhibition encourages contemplation of ambivalence and the possibility of finding forms of belonging within transient states.

Opening: Thursday 17 September, 18:00

18 September – 31 October

Swiss artist Pierre André Ferrand presents a restrained body of work that examines the conditions of image-making and the illusionistic nature of painting. The show brings together oils on canvas and works on paper, employing a deliberate economy of means, pared visual codes, and an intimate awareness of artistic limits. For more than thirty years his practice has pursued an intellectual and spiritual enquiry, inviting a slow, contemplative viewing that seeks out potential and subtle perceptual shifts.
