Burning Pictures

Gutknecht Gallery presents Burning Pictures, bringing together more than 35 works by Christian Scholz and El Stoff in a dialogue between photography and textile art. Scholz, born in Stockholm and based in Zurich, shows images made across decades in Switzerland, France, the United States, and elsewhere, their motifs still strikingly contemporary. El Stoff offers unique textile collages made from new and reused fabrics, where colour, material, and memory converge in poetic, playful forms. Together, the exhibition reflects on value, durability, and the quiet persistence of images and stories.

Opening: (AVV) 5 November, 16:00

Stéphane Ducret presents Being Matters, an immersive series of recent paintings that map psyche and the living realm. The presentation gathers seven large to very large oil paintings on linen alongside a series of small-format works on wood. Through layered surfaces, deliberate errors and a dense pictorial process, Ducret explores invisible mechanisms of thought, memory and introspection. The works function as atmospheric studies of materiality and painterly gesture, charting states of mind and organic presence.

31 October – 30 January

This exhibition brings together a selection of works by more than twenty artists from the Fonds cantonal d’art contemporain de Genève, with a focus on sculpture, including pieces that may never have been shown to the public. Curated alongside found objects by Varun Kumar, the display creates a quiet accumulation of dormant forms and unlikely encounters. It opens a meditation on the boundary between art and non-art, inviting visitors to read material presence, absence, and slumber as part of the same poetic field.

Permanent exhibition

Even if you’re not a watch person, this might change your mind. Around 2,500 watches, automata, precious objects and enamel miniatures chart five centuries of watchmaking, from extraordinary early timepieces to Patek Philippe creations. Geneva craftsmanship at its most meticulous.

Permanent exhibition

Geneva art, out in the vineyards. Housed in a converted agricultural building on the Château du Crest estate, this collection follows three centuries of the Geneva School through landscapes, lake views, portraits and still lifes — including works by Hodler, Liotard, Agasse and Pradier. Art followed by a countryside wander? Yes, please.

Visit for non-French speakers inside the exhibition “Fuite au Marché Machin” brings together adults and families for a shared encounter with art and language, guided by Douze Zéro Deux and Annina Meyer. The visit invites participants to observe works, learn new expressions, and speak French in a cultural setting. Open to beginners, advanced learners, children, and French speakers alike, it frames illustration as a space for conversation, discovery, and playful exchange.

27 October – 19 November

Artist Carmen-Sibha Keiso presents a continuation of her exhibition, featuring new works that explore ambivalence and the bystander’s gaze. The show includes sculptural and installation pieces alongside printed editions by Fabrice Gygi, Roman Signer and Marie Sacconi. A recently published volume by Keiso accompanies the presentation, extending the exhibition’s themes into a printed, multi-voiced format. The installation work favours material contrasts and subtle gestures that probe perception, memory and relational dynamics.

Opening: Friday 23 October, 18:00
