Dial-A-Poem Switzerland

Booking Required

MAMCO presents Dial‑A‑Poem Switzerland, a telephone-based poetic broadcasting project inspired by John Giorno. The installation transforms a decommissioned phone booth into a listening station, gathering recorded voices from across Switzerland’s linguistic regions. The programme features contributions by poets and artists exploring language, public space and oral transmission, alternating recorded and live readings. Conceived with Giorno Poetry Systems, the project foregrounds voice as material and communal listening as a poetic practice.

Parallel Worlds

Art & Exhibits

Usine Kugler

Alain Riad presents an immersive exploration of image and sound through ink drawings and light-based atmospheres. His fluorescent, high-contrast drawings unfold in dreamlike, disquieting compositions that invite close contemplation. Complementing the visuals, Monome performs ambient–drone soundscapes built from slow, deep, enveloping textures, evoking white-noise and cosmic sensations. Together the works interrogate perception and the porous boundary between visible form and sonic presence, revealing how color, line and sustained sound reshape memory and spatial experience.

Simultanés

Art & Exhibits

Musée Ariana

Marie Ducaté presents Simultanés, an installation that transposes the spirit and traces of her studio into a theatre of objects. Combining ceramics, tracing paper, watercolor, textile and glass, the work sits at the intersection of pop culture and art history. The installation foregrounds a chromatic range from vivid colour to transparency and investigates the sensuality of materials, inviting close attention to texture, surface and the intimate relationships between form and materiality. Curated by Claire FitzGerald.

André Kasper — Mettez-en une palette!

Art & Exhibits

Villa Dutoit

Painter André Kasper revisits classical and contemporary traditions in a body of oil paintings, watercolours and works on paper shaped by extended stays in Rome. His canvases — landscapes, ruins and figurative scenes — favour composed structures and a luminous handling that anchors each work’s narrative. Accustomed to large formats, he has recently explored smaller, more impulsive studies that foreground colour purity and gesture. The exhibition reflects Kasper’s dialogue with Caravaggio, Corot and Flemish affinities while tracing personal and art-historical continuities.

7 March – 16 August

Carlos Schwabe

Art & Exhibits

MAH

Carlos Schwabe’s retrospective traces the symbolism and pictorial imagination that defined his practice. Trained in Geneva, Schwabe is celebrated for evocative book illustrations and ambitious pictorial compositions that blend allegory, myth and musical ideas. The exhibition presents paintings, illustrations and preparatory drawings drawn from public and private Swiss and French collections, exploring technique, materiality and the spiritual and literary currents that shaped his visual language around the turn of the twentieth century.

Clara Roumégoux: Day to Day

Art & Exhibits

Palais de l'Athénée

Clara Roumégoux examines production relations and the pressure to be productive through a concise series of works. Addressing food, design and sleep, she subverts everyday objects so they become signifiers of our era. Through moving image, print, installation and playful references to painting, her practice blurs domesticity and industry, care and efficiency. The exhibition questions habitual assumptions and evokes the subtle social forces that shape everyday routines and bodily rhythms.
