Ben Thouard: Aqua Obscura

Ben Thouard is an ocean artist and one of the world’s foremost surf photographers. In his work water becomes a darkroom, an underwater camera obscura that reveals a singular, immersive vision. This exhibition presents previously unseen photography born of a near-daily practice: a language of water and light. Between organic forms, deep textures and shifts of shadow and clarity, Thouard’s images move between abstraction and contemplation, offering a sensory experience that explores the movements and metamorphoses of liquid matter.

Opening : 25 June, 18:00 – 21:00

Through open diary fragments and an instinctive plastic language that draws from art brut, street art and neo‑expressionism, the exhibition brings together paintings, drawings and mixed‑media pieces. The works explore memory, play, and the uneasy passage to adulthood, using gestural mark‑making and raw materials to evoke intimacy and emotional intensity.

7 May – 10 January

This exhibition assembles objects old and new, from video games and pop culture gadgets to robots like the Omnibot 2000, Daruma statuettes and various oracles. Presented as a cabinet of curiosities, it probes beliefs, technological imaginaries and our relationship to progress. The displays offer strategies for dialoguing with the future, showcase artistic works imagining desirable futures and explore possible developments conceived locally. Content is aimed at ages 8 to 108.

The exhibition highlights Geneva’s remarkable trees and the men and women who care for them. It explores stewardship, memory and urban ecology, revealing how individual trees anchor community histories and daily practices of care. Combining documentary and artistic perspectives, the presentation considers cultural and environmental dimensions of urban trees, inviting reflection on our relationship with living monuments and the labour that sustains them.

29 January – 25 October

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.

29 April – 31 December

This exhibition brings together archival photographs, historical medical objects and contemporary works to examine how illness is represented and embodied. Through photography, installation and mixed-media pieces, artists probe how bodily experience resists language and is translated into image, narrative and presence. The presentation includes a new work by Sabrina Röthlisberger Belkacem and is curated by Sara Petrucci with scenography by OnLab, creating a dialogue between archives and recent artistic responses.

8 July – 6 September

FAAB G collective presents an exhibition centred on FLINTA* figures connected to Asia, bringing together works by Jeanne Tara, Juli Sando, Sayaka Mizuno, Camille Farrah Buhler, Anaïs Nariman Aïk, Fhunyue Gao and Li Chaolin. Through installation, photography, sculpture and mixed-media, the project interrogates dominant narratives that invisibilize or simplify identities and memories. Nourished by anticolonial and transfeminist perspectives, the show explores political, historical and intimate forms of resistance and proposes encounters between personal testimonies and collective histories.

Opening: Tuesday 7 July, 18:00
