Darling, ‘Ever’ Is Back – Caroline Schattling Villeval

Free

Swiss artist Caroline Schattling Villeval presents two video works that imperfectly replay and displace recognisable cultural gestures. One figure attempts Britney Spears’ ‘Baby One More Time’ in sign language, while another reconstructs Pipilotti Rist’s ‘Ever Is Over All’ within a digital environment. The installation probes the legibility of images, questions hearing and what remains inaccessible to the senses, and enlists the viewer in an experience of partial perception. Curator: Elise Lammer.

Opening: 29 October, 18:00

Louise Desnos: Acedia

Art & Exhibits

Maison de l'enfance et de l'adolescence (MEA)

The Acedia project by French photographer Louise Desnos offers a contemplative photographic exploration of slowness, fatigue and intimacy. Through sensitive, minimalist compositions and staged portraits, Desnos elevates inertia and non-events into a quiet poetics. The series examines idleness as resistance, a space for introspection and for reclaiming autonomy. Photographs emphasize material textures, soft light and the presence of bodies at rest, inviting viewers to reconsider cultural prejudices about productivity and rest.

Ferdinand Hodler: Profession of Faith

Art & Exhibits

Musée de la Réforme

Ferdinand Hodler: Profession of Faith examines for the first time the spiritual dimension in the work of Ferdinand Hodler (1853–1918). Through some twenty-five paintings, the exhibition traces his youthful biblical readings, his rare biblical scenes, and his relation to the Reformation and the city of Geneva. It also considers how notions of creation and the order of nature informed his symbolist language and his meditative landscapes, revealing the interplay between religious themes and formal concerns in his painting.

Thomas Fougeirol

Art & Exhibits

Galerie Sébastien Bertrand

Thomas Fougeirol’s first solo exhibition investigates painting as an uncertain field between surface and relief, image and matter. Through a sequence of repaints layered over earlier Dust Paintings, Fougeirol activates texture, pigment and gesture to blur pictorial depth and sculptural presence. The show foregrounds material encounter and process-led decisions, emphasising modulation of light, density and sedimented histories within oil-and-pigment canvases that oscillate between representation and objecthood.

Gregory Bourrilly – Écho

Art & Exhibits

Wilde

Geneva based artist Gregory Bourrilly presents seven sculptures and a photograph that reconsider human-centered narratives in favor of ecological processes. Since 2018 his practice explores living dynamics and natural phenomena, imagining a posthuman world where human culture gradually yields to vegetal and animal recolonization. The works combine sculptural forms and photographic framing to evoke material transformation, decay and emergence, proposing alternative imaginaries of coexistence beyond anthropocentrism.

MAMCO x MAH – Sylvia Sleigh: Refaire collection

Art & Exhibits

Musée Rath

Sylvia Sleigh’s retrospective pairs the artist’s figurative painting with ‘Refaire collection’, a polygraphic project offering a feminist rereading of art-history canons. Sleigh, a Welsh painter active in New York, is known for reversing gendered norms—placing the male nude where the female traditionally appears—and for portraits of the 1960s–70s New York art community. ‘Refaire collection’ gathers Swiss holdings and works by artists such as Louise Bourgeois, Meret Oppenheim, Pipilotti Rist, Joan Semmel and the Guerrilla Girls across painting, sculpture, video, drawing and photography.

Opening: 4 June 18:00
