International artist Iris Leroyer presents OPUS CARBONE, a groundbreaking exhibition that examines the impact of human activity on living organisms. Through charcoal sculptures, paintings made from carbon-based natural materials, and installations, the work engages the public with the current ecological crisis, prompting reflection on environmental issues and our relationship with nature.
ABSTRAKTIONEN / ABSTRAÇÕES brings together diverse approaches to abstraction across two generations and continents. From Traugott Spiess’s meditative gestures to Niura Bellavinha’s layered color fields, Herbert Sobral’s playful contrasts, Fernando De La Rocque’s dreamlike structures, and Antonio Bokel’s geometric compositions rooted in street art, the exhibition traces a century of abstract practices. A visual journey through spontaneity, memory, language, and public space.
Opening on Thursday July 10, from 18:00 to 21:00 on the occasion of the Nuit des Bains.
In Together Separated, Rebecca Brodskis explores the delicate tension between intimacy and isolation in a hyperconnected yet emotionally distant world. Her stylized figures, caught in quiet moments of waiting or withdrawal, reveal the paradox of being together yet apart—physically close, but psychically distant. With subtle tones and suspended gestures, Brodskis paints a haunting portrait of modern disconnection, especially as it shapes women’s inner lives.
The stained glass collections of the Musée Ariana are coming out of storage! When the museum was bequeathed to the City of Geneva in 1890, Gustave Revilliod had acquired 118 stained glass pieces. Today, the museum boasts over 400 pieces, spanning from the 12th to the 21st century. The fifth installment of the “The Ariana Unveils Its Reserves” series showcases an exceptional selection of this heritage.
While the MAMCO undergoes renovations, the museum offers exhibitions outside its usual location. “Psot Netebras Xul” kicks off this initiative in an unconventional industrial space reminiscent of SIP venues. This exhibition explores the Geneva art scene from the 1990s to the present, featuring works from the MAMCO collection alongside recent creations. Participating artists include Timothée Calame, Valentin Carron, Emilie Ding, Sylvie Fleury, among others.
Truth Fiction delves into the boundary between autobiography and invention through works by various artists curated by Danniel Tostes. Inspired by a José Leonilson embroidery, the exhibition employs intimate and coded forms to explore queer identity, memory, and emotional truth. The artworks intertwine distortion and staging, turning narrative into a political statement.
