Chromatic Excavation

French glass artist Damien François is known for a mastery of cold-working techniques. Largely self-taught, he began working with glass after a trip to Norway and refined his practice with Scandinavian master glassmakers and at the Danish Design School. His work interrogates the material’s limits through pared-back, graphic compositions and subtle pictorial gestures. The exhibition assembles recent blown and cut glass pieces that emphasise minimalism, surface, and the interplay of light and colour.

24 April – 8 May

Adrienne Barman’s exhibition “À POIL!” invites us to a joyful encounter with the human body. Far from the rigid standards of academic art, her drawings of nudes (and a few “naked” pieces!) reveal a rare graphic freedom. A multitude of drawings hung with clips will take over the gallery, transforming the space for two weeks into a lively and spontaneous studio.

Opening: Friday April 24th, 18h – 20h

 

6 – 17 May

Antoine Piron-Meyer (Agni) presents paintings alongside archival documents and publications that trace his singular artistic trajectory. Combining realism, poetic imagery and rich imagination, his canvases evoke mythic, often Bosch-inspired narratives while archival photographs and documents illuminate his mural and public-art engagements and teaching practice.
The exhibition balances intimate studio works with documentary materials to reveal how historical references, urban interventions and pedagogical commitments shaped a multifaceted practice. Curated by his niece Anouk‑Eva Meyer, it invites reflection on artistic continuity and urban cultural history.

7 – 17 May

The Mapping Festival is an international event dedicated to audiovisual arts and digital culture, bringing together live performances, immersive installations, DJ sets, screenings, and workshops. It explores the relationship between artistic creation and contemporary technologies — from live visuals to AI — through a program that is both experimental and accessible. Through talks, encounters, and interactive experiences, it creates a space where artists and audiences collectively question new forms of perception, creation, and reality in the digital age.

7 May – 3 June

Different Perspectives brings together photography and decorative arts from the 20th and 21st centuries in a curated dialogue. Works range from vintage portraits to contemporary visions by Jean-Baptiste Huynh, Willy Rizzo, Yutaka Sakano, Cédric Delsaux and Bernard Faucon. The presentation juxtaposes photographic series with furniture, lighting and objects, alongside historical folding canes dating from the 17th century to the 1930s, inviting reflection on material culture, technique and the shifting gaze across eras.

20 April – 8 May

Furious Thinking presents works by Bachelor students from HEAD Genève’s Chroma option, examining the origins of their emerging artistic practice. Blurred memories, endless archives, accumulated collections and the ceaseless image feed converge in a room-like installation of personal effects: mutant PEZ, bigfoot slippers, jewellery, dice, cakes, a bed and stacked plastic chairs, alongside politics, family, distant mountain chants and a few monsters. The exhibition functions as exercise, rehearsal and edition, probing how images wound, soothe and shape authorship beyond the canvas.

Opening : Friday, April 17, 18:00 – 21:00.
Closing : Friday, May 8, 16:00 – 18:00 pm, including a listening session with Henry Rausch. In French

16 April – 8 May

Presenting works by Julien Fournival, Théa Giglio and Chaolin Li, this exhibition draws on acts of recovery, diasporic narratives and ambiguous forms. Through found materials, sculptural interventions and time-based compositions, the project probes disjointed temporalities where memory and disappearance coexist. The artists intertwine material histories and personal fragments to question how objects and gestures carry traces across loss and migration.
