The Miraculous Geneva is a group exhibition that brings together contemporary Geneva-based artists in tribute to the late artist Daniel Orson Ybarra. Featuring works by Stéphane Ducret and other renowned local artists, the exhibition celebrates the diversity and vitality of Geneva’s contemporary art scene through painting, sculpture, and multidisciplinary practices.
Artist Gautier Hardy presents ‘Kids Garden’, a series of works that inhabit a territory between childhood and the adult world. Through open diary fragments and an instinctive plastic language that draws from art brut, street art and neo‑expressionism, the exhibition brings together paintings, drawings and mixed‑media pieces. The works explore memory, play, and the uneasy passage to adulthood, using gestural mark‑making and raw materials to evoke intimacy and emotional intensity.
Chris Lovasoa Kauffmann presents a new body of work that explores architectural form and symbolic resonance through sculpture, painting and installation. Minimal geometries and textured surfaces negotiate scale and monumentality, while layered materials and subtle color shifts invite reflection on construction, memory and cultural lineage. The works balance rigorous formalism with tactile evidence of process, proposing an austere yet intimate meditation on how built forms shape perception and collective narratives.
Opening: Thursday 2 July, 18:00
Five Mini Shows presents distinct exhibitions across separate rooms, bringing together major figures of Australian Aboriginal painting alongside contemporary painting, installation, drawing and sculpture. Works by Clifford Possum Tjapaltjarri, Mirdidingkingathi Juwarnda Sally Gabori and Gabriella Possum Nungurrayi sit next to new and historical painting by John Armleder, expansive installations by Chiharu Shiota, sculptural interventions by Balint Zsako and drawing-based work by Rachel Marks. The programme explores materiality, relational display and dialogues between indigenous traditions and contemporary abstraction.
Opening: Thursday 21 May, 18:00
Gina Proenza explores how language shapes power and human relationships. Working across sculpture, installation, drawing, and video, she uses words, symbols, and bodily gestures to question communication and meaning. Rooted in her Colombian and French heritage and bilingual upbringing, her practice examines the intersections of language, identity, and interaction.
Opening: Thursday 2 July, 18:00 (Nocturne d’été des Bains)
Etienne Francey and Onoko present a collaborative exhibition exploring the mirage as visual and psychological phenomenon. Francey’s photographic practice treats landscapes as memory, rendering familiar scenes with a soft, recollected quality. Onoko contributes more abstract works that distill atmosphere and luminous degradation into colour fields and ephemeral surfaces. Together their pieces interrogate perception, illusion, and the shifting boundary between apparition and documentation, using photography, colour studies and light to destabilize what the eye assumes to know.
This exhibition brings together archival photographs, historical medical objects and contemporary works to examine how illness is represented and embodied. Through photography, installation and mixed-media pieces, artists probe how bodily experience resists language and is translated into image, narrative and presence. The presentation includes a new work by Sabrina Röthlisberger Belkacem and is curated by Sara Petrucci with scenography by OnLab, creating a dialogue between archives and recent artistic responses.
