Through a series of sketches made from life, Joël Alessandra takes a sensitive and poetic look at Carouge. This open-air exhibition invites you to rediscover the city from an artistic angle, between heritage, scenes of life and urban atmospheres.
In collaboration with Galerie Séries Rares
Momentum désigne cet instant où un mouvement, une fois engagé, acquiert sa propre force et ouvre la voie à de nouvelles possibilités. Cette exposition collective réunit Deniz Aktaş, Marie-Laure Davy, Adrien Menu, Cristina Alabau, Bana Studio, Clara Cebrián, Nelly Feillant et Jan Steenman autour d’une même énergie créatrice. Certains rejoignent pour la première fois la programmation de MABE Gallery ; d’autres y reviennent avec des œuvres qui témoignent d’une évolution de leur pratique, de nouvelles recherches et d’un regard renouvelé.
À travers une diversité de médiums, de matières et de gestes, Momentum fait naître des correspondances inattendues entre les œuvres. Les pratiques se rencontrent sans se confondre, portées par une même volonté d’expérimenter, de se déplacer et de poursuivre leur transformation. Pensée comme un point de rencontre entre découverte et continuité, l’exposition célèbre une création vivante : celle qui avance, se réinvente et trouve dans le dialogue une impulsion nouvelle.
Lola Jay investigates memory, imagery and the ways we reconstruct our past. Working at the intersection of painting and visual culture, she produces oil paintings and painted-objects that reinterpret family photographs, film stills and found images. Her compositions borrow photographic framing to isolate gestures and everyday fragments, questioning how selection, framing and repetition transform recollection. The exhibition examines the porous boundary between intimate and collective memory, showing how images do not merely preserve the past but reshape and remake it. Lola Jay is based in Geneva.
Opening : 28 October, 18:00
Closing : 8 October, 17:00
Compagnie de 1602 presents a centenary exhibition that unveils the behind-the-scenes life of a long-standing civic tradition.
Through costumes, ceremonial objects, musical gestures and archival memories, the display juxtaposes individual passions with the collective narrative of communal celebration. The presentation foregrounds performative ritual, material culture and intergenerational transmission, revealing how public pageantry sustains identity and belonging. It evokes the sustained energy of popular commemoration and the work required to keep ceremonial histories alive.
Opening: Tuesday 27 October, 18:00 – 20:00
Art en Vieille-Ville (AVV) gathers a wide panorama of contemporary and historical practices across painting, photography, sculpture, printmaking and installation. Artists such as Marta Blanc, Jérôme Zonder, Sonia Zannettacci, Rosa Turetsky, Natacha Mercier, Jean‑Louis Perrot and Alexandre de Spengler present works that juxtapose sacred imagery, urban realism and historical engraving. The exhibition explores dialogue between past and present—from 17th‑century references and Futurist echoes to New Realism’s poetic reworking of the city—revealing how technique and memory shape collective cultural narratives.
Edmund Clark and Crofton Black present a seven-year research project examining the US military-industrial complex through the interplay of images, data and language. The exhibition brings together photographic and research-based works that confront surveillance, institutional power and historical systems of violence. Textual fragments, documentary images and data visualisations interweave to question representation, accountability and the humanitarian narratives that shape contemporary conflict.

Swiss collective PROJEKTIL stages the emergence of life through an immersive audiovisual installation. Site-responsive animated projections and sculptural light sequences transform walls and ceilings, accompanied by an atmospheric musical score. Using cutting-edge technology and layered animation, the work evokes cosmogony and the fragile origins of existence, inviting reflection on formation, scale and temporal unfolding. The piece reveals how digital media can translate primordial themes into sensory, architectural experience.
