Ben Sadler – Ways of Looking

Taste Contemporary presents Ways of Looking, a solo exhibition by British painter Ben Sadler, bringing together all 24 portraits from his 2024 series You and I, alongside recent works. Through small, quietly compelling paintings of imagined exhibition-goers, Sadler captures fleeting expressions and inner worlds—figures who meet our gaze or drift away, pensive, amused, or absorbed. Subtle and poignant, the works explore the layered experience of exhibitions: the art, the space, the people within it, and the unspoken connections between them.

Opening on Thursday 22 January, from 18:00.

For his first solo exhibition in Geneva, Gregor Hildebrandt transforms Galerie Mezzanin into a poetic space of memory and transformation. Using materials such as magnetic tape, vinyl records, and audio cassettes, he reinterprets the physical traces of the analog world, turning familiar forms into sculptural and pictorial works. His installations evoke themes of transfer, nostalgia, and the fragility of memory, reminding us that remembrance once had a tangible medium. Balancing irony and reverence, Hildebrandt questions the role of the artist in an age dominated by digital reproduction, suggesting that art now resides not in direct representation of reality, but in the layered density of collective memory and desire.
