7 March – 1 April

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.

17 February – 8 March

FURTHER AFIELD

Winter show features a selection of works that explore the idea of materiality through sculptures, paintings, and works on paper. The exhibition brings together works by Maria Bartuszová, Tony Cragg, Steven Parrino, Giuseppe Penone, Ed Ruscha and Robert Ryman.

Bringing together international artists across generations, the exhibition examines how material informs form and presence, making it a vital expressive force in both three- and two-dimensional works.

23 January – 19 April

Ghislaine Heger presents a photographic series of portraits that foreground 101 women from French-speaking Switzerland and their experiences of ageing and gray hair. Combining portrait photography with each subject’s own testimony, the work examines social expectations, gendered scrutiny and the intimate moments that surround a visible change.
The exhibition evokes questions of identity, dignity and resilience, offering nuanced, gentle accounts that reveal how personal histories intersect with broader cultural attitudes toward ageing.

16 January – 7 March

Beat Zoderer’s first exhibition with lange + pult in Geneva presents a new series of works inspired by the economy of haiku. In these small-format pieces, the artist translates brevity, precision, and tension into the pictorial field through grids and modular patterns. Layered, translucent colors create subtle depth and shifting perceptions, while recurring square motifs generate a restrained yet vibrant rhythm. Rooted in concrete art, the series stands out for its quiet, almost meditative quality, where meaning emerges from the balance between form, color, and visual silence.

Opening on Thursday 15 January, from 18:00.

28 January – 15 March

Swiss artist Grégory Sugnaux presents a body of paintings that stage ambiguous, often hybrid figures—part human, part animal, serial androids and distorted, sometimes monstrous bodies. Combining grotesque allusion with ironic self-reflection, he mixes genres and pictorial techniques to render surfaces alternately smooth and vibrating, fracturing legibility.
A composed soundtrack threads through the installation, amplifying the exhibition’s uneasy pulsation. The works negotiate a fragile balance between fascination and self-critique, revealing vulnerability beneath playful, unsettling imagery.

4 October 2025 – 23 May 2026

The exhibition “Sauvages” at the Cité Library invites visitors to delve into the behind-the-scenes of Claude Barras’s film. It is divided into three sections that cover the ecological and cultural aspects of Borneo, reveal the creative and production processes of the film, and immerse the audience in the filming atmosphere through never-before-seen photos and testimonials. Original documents, drawings, travel journals, sets, and figurines enhance this immersive experience.
