Climate Fiction is an exhibition that offers a unique perspective on the Fonds cantonal d’art contemporain collection by exploring the multiple oppressions and inequalities underlying ecological crises. Curated by the winners of the exhibition grant, this traveling show features 20th and 21st-century artworks that reveal the connections between production models, power dynamics, social discrimination, and environmental issues.
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 exhibition “L’herbier de la mémoire” at Espace Muraille showcases the creative works of Laura De Bernardi, Gergana Mantscheva, and Laura Sánchez Filomeno. The artists delve into themes of memory, identity, and nature using botanical specimens, embroidered roots, and painted plants, reimagining the herbarium as both a poetic and archival gesture. Their pieces interact with each other and the exhibition space, providing insight into cultural memory, individual expression, and the symbolism inherent in the plant world.
Xippas Geneva presents “Echoes and Fields”, a collective exhibition which brings together a selection of works by the gallery artists whose practices explore the porous edges between image and sensation, matter and memory. Through painting, sculpture, installation and fleeting gestures, the exhibition unfolds as a landscape of fragments—organic, intuitive, at times dissonant—where form becomes field and echo. As Geneva settles into its slowest season, the show embraces slowness as a way of seeing, and the group exhibition as a mode of resonance.
Opening on Thursday July 10, from 18:00 to 21:00 on the occasion of the Nuit des Bains.
The Polomarco Gallery presents “Street Scripts,” its inaugural exhibition dedicated to urban art, featuring artists L’Atlas and Rafael Sliks. This visual dialogue delves into urban calligraphy transformed into sensory shapes and messages. L’Atlas, a Parisian trained in calligraphy in Morocco and Egypt, merges geometric abstraction with scriptural traditions to craft optical and enigmatic works. Rafael Sliks, hailing from São Paulo, blends graffiti and abstract style, inspired by urban chaos and nature, turning writing into a form of visual expression and escape.
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.
To mark the 100th anniversary of Jean Tinguely’s birth, the MAH celebrates the artist’s deep ties to the museum with a vibrant tribute. A restored kinetic sculpture—Si c’est noir, je m’appelle Jean (1960)—takes center stage, joined by a major donation of graphic works from the Niki Charitable Art Foundation. Echoing the spirit of Tinguely’s last exhibition at the Musée Rath in 1983, the show features over thirty mechanical sculptures and rarely seen works on paper, many connected to Geneva’s cultural history.
