Féérie fantastique

Genevan artist Gamo (born 1974) draws from the 1980s graffiti and hip‑hop scene to transform abandoned objects and recovered cardboard into vibrant mixed‑media works. Executed on repurposed cartons, his pictorial surfaces combine acrylic, brush, airbrush and spray to conjure a fantastical urban imaginary.

The exhibition explores recycling, material transformation and memory, questioning consumption while evoking street culture’s visual language and the poetics of found matter.

Opening: Thursday 18 June, 18:00 – 21:00

Our eyes are naturally drawn to light and what shines. Yet what could be more fascinating than shadow? Shadows have enabled many fundamental discoveries: the shape of the Earth, the calculation of its circumference, the identification of electrons, and the understanding of planetary motion. They accompany us and enrich our thinking. Come and explore them to learn more about their role in science.

4 June – 17 July

Sébastien Bertrand presents a selection of paintings and works on paper by Rammellzee, highlighting the artist’s radical exploration of language, architecture and symbolic warfare. The presentation emphasises the material and pictorial force of dense compositions made with spray paint, ink, acrylic, metallic pigments, collage, markers and industrial materials. Together the works reveal a complex visual language that interrogates text, form and urban histories, situating Rammellzee’s practice within late twentieth-century experimental art.

Opening: 4 June, 18:30

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.

The Miraculous Geneva is a group exhibition that brings together contemporary Geneva-based artists in tribute to the late artist Daniel Orson Ybarra.

5 June – 4 July

Artist Lou Cohen presents a body of work that dialogues between still and moving images. Working with dry pastel, oil paint and short films, she stages interactions within the same installation, confronting static representation with motion. Her practice employs irony and darkly comic tones to translate everyday reality and prompt critical reflection. The works explore perception, narrative tension and the theatrical potential of materials, inviting careful viewing and reconsideration of what images can reveal.

Opening: Thursday 4 June, 18:00 (Salle Crosnier) 

Meeting with the artist: Thursday 25 June, 18:00 (Salle Crosnier)
