Vladimir Kartashov presents site-specific installations that unfold across historic island spaces, exploring temporal sequences and memory. Through sculptural interventions, architectural adaptations and subtle interventions in sacred interiors, the artist stages a choreography of objects and light that reconfigures perception of place and time. The series juxtaposes material rigor with ephemeral gestures, inviting reflection on duration, ritual and the layered histories embedded in built environments.

22 May – 20 June

Intermezzo brings together a constellation of international and Swiss artists including Pierre-Olivier Arnaud, Silvia Bächli, Franz Gertsch, Olivier Mosset, Claude Rutault and Franz Erhard Walther. The group show juxtaposes painting, drawing, photography and sculptural interventions to explore materiality, repetition and spatial gesture. Works range from refined drawings and large-scale canvases to object-based installations, inviting a dialogue between figuration and abstraction and reflecting on process, surface and the performative possibilities of form.

18 February – 23 December

Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s herbarium, compiled in the 1770s for the printer-bookseller Charles-Joseph Panckoucke, is presented through preserved pressed specimens, its original catalogue and related botanical publications. The historical collection combines scientific observation and aesthetic arrangement, revealing Enlightenment approaches to collecting, classification and the popularisation of plant study. Detailed notes and annotations illuminate Rousseau’s techniques and the materiality of specimens, inviting reflection on how personal curiosity and scholarly networks shaped early modern natural history.

20 May – 4 July

Physis presents a two-person dialogue between sculptor Ernst Gamperl and the drawing practice of Shunshun. Gamperl’s internationally recognised sculptures, rooted in exceptional woodwork, explore growth, material presence and a generative life force. Shunshun’s delicate, layered line drawings shift from architectural training to intimate studies of spatial depth and quiet emotional resonance. Together the works consider intergenerational perspectives on form, technique and the elemental meanings of nature.

Opening: Wednesday 20 May, 17:00

22 May – 27 June

Carolina Fontana presents Parallaxe, a first solo exhibition in Geneva featuring paintings from her recent Z·E·N series. Produced through contemplative travels across Swiss cantons, Spain and China, the canvases blend figurative motifs with abstract formations to evoke a transcendent, Zen-informed sensibility toward landscape and the sublime. The works emphasise delicate brushwork, layered surfaces and meditative composition, inviting sustained attention to process, rhythm and the poetic interplay between presence and absence.

Opening: Thursday 21 May, 18:00

7 mai – 27 juin

Swiss artist Étienne Krahenbühl presents a contemplative exhibition of sculptural and mixed-media works that explore forms in motion and the generative forces of life. From earth and world emerge cracks, shifts and breaths that shape tensions and connections, underscoring our relationship with matter, nature and the human. The works mark passages between worlds and, through resonance, invite emotional and intellectual reflection on respect, singularity and coexistence.
