Behzad Dehno – Exhibition

Free

Behzad Dehno presents High‑Rise 99, a diploma project that explores altered perceptions of urban structures and time. Through installations that pierce walls with hundreds of window-like apertures, Dehno collapses the conceptual and the poetic, subtly skewing constants such as floors, chance and chronology. Minimal gestures generate uncanny narratives that seep into everyday space, inviting viewers to read fractured stories and consider how architectural dispositifs shape memory, movement and collective imagination.

Opening: Thursday, 21 January 2027, 18:00
Meet the artist: Thursday, 28 January 2027, 18:00

Kounellis – Charrière

Art & Exhibits

Galerie Olivier Varenne

An intergenerational exhibition presenting the work of Jannis Kounellis and Julian Charrière, focusing on a material-based conceptual practice that spans over fifty years. The display brings installations and sculptural works into dialogue, foregrounding elemental media such as coal, combustion, metal and petroleum used as supports and vectors of history, political reflection, energy and symbolic charge. The juxtaposition highlights shared concerns about matter, industry and the traces of human intervention.

Preview (Geneva Art Week) in presence of Julian Charrière: Wednesday 16 September, 17:00.

Opening (Nuit des Bains): Thursday 17 September, 18:00.

Flora Incognita

Art & Exhibits

espace-L

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.

Quartier Libre SIG

EXEM aux urnes – 40 Years of Political Posters brings together 40 political posters by Geneva-based illustrator EXEM between 1988 and 2023. Spanning nearly four decades of Swiss direct democracy, the exhibition explores the distinctive language of political posters at the intersection of graphic art, satire, and political commentary.

Through EXEM’s sharp and engaging imagery, the exhibition traces the political issues and communication styles that have shaped Swiss public life, and offers insight into the artist’s creative process and the stories behind his iconic posters.

The Illustrated House

Art & Exhibits

Maison Surville

Cécile Koepfli creates a site-specific window installation of colorful, poetic drawings. Mischievous characters, everyday objects, and fragments of text assemble into a playful, sensitive imaginary world. The works, rendered directly on window panes, unfold as tableaux and narrative vignettes that invite viewers to imagine the activities and encounters that will animate the space.
A seek-and-find game encourages close looking and slow discovery across the illustrated surfaces.

Brave la Nuit / Poems for Ruptures / نعبرُ الليل

Art & Exhibits

FMAC

Curators Ghalas Charara and Rita Elhajj present the second part of a two‑part exhibition that shapes a liminal space between listening and gesture. Through acts of defunctionalization, duplication, displacement, fragmentation and sabotage, the participating artists generate potentials for action and reclaim rhythmic breaths, steps and voices. Works from the host collection sit alongside invited pieces to evoke survivance, mourning and resistance, where memory becomes an embrace enacted by bodies searching for—sometimes finding—ancestral gestures through repetition, dance and semantic shifts.

Opening: Thursday 17 September, 18:00

New Realism: A Poetic Recycling of Urban Reality

Art & Exhibits

Galerie Sonia Zannettacci

Le Nouveau Réalisme brings together works by Arman, César, Christo, François Dufrêne, Yves Klein, Niki de Saint Phalle, Mimmo Rotella, Daniel Spoerri, Jean Tinguely and Jacques Villeglé to examine the movement’s poetic reworking of urban detritus. The exhibition presents sculptures, assemblages, collages and interventions that displace found objects from everyday contexts, juxtaposing industrial materials, advertising fragments and ready‑mades. Through material play and détournement, the show explores urban consumption, collective memory and the politics of visibility.

Opening (Geneva Art Week): Wednesday 16 September, 16:00
