Gianni Motti

Gianni Motti is a Swiss conceptual artist known for blurring the boundaries between art, politics and everyday life. Often working through interventions, performances and symbolic gestures, he inserts himself into real-world situations—from institutions to public events—to question power, authorship and the role of the artist. His provocative and often humorous works invite audiences to reconsider what art can be and where it can happen.

Rien ne sert de courir

Art & Exhibits

Usine Kugler

With Rien ne sert de courir, Didier Merlin presents suspended images that hover between snapshot and staged tableau. His enigmatic figures appear trapped beneath glossy glass, frozen between appearance and disappearance.
Working in reverse glass painting since the 1990s, he builds images backward; since 2019 acrylic glass and drypoint engraving have expanded scale and sharpened his line. The exhibition combines painting, engraving and hybrid techniques to explore mediation, fragmented narrative and the porous boundary between intimacy, collective memory and imagined reality.

Dial-A-Poem Switzerland

Art & Exhibits

Bains des Pâquis

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.

Natalia González Martín: Fruta y media tarde

Art & Exhibits

Galerie Sébastien Bertrand

Natalia González Martín presents eleven new oil paintings on panel that extend her sustained engagement with still life. Drawing on the visual language of Baroque and Counter-Reformation masters such as Juan Sánchez Cotán and Francisco Zurbarán, the works turn toward the ritual of sobremesa — the suspended time after a meal — and consider it as a gendered social space. Set against tenebrist backgrounds, plates, fruit, glasses and fragments of bodies emerge to reorient still life from display and possession toward duration, relation and the often-invisible labour of togetherness.

24 April – 23 May

Nicolas Ponce — We Will See Each Other Again in August

Art & Exhibits

Palais de l'Athénée

Artist Nicolas Ponce presents a personal exhibition of video installations that probe pathways of memory, both personal and collective. Works combine archival footage, film extracts, stolen sequences and found online materials to build layered visual montages. The exhibition text examines mechanisms of remembrance and describes an artistic montage of contradictions that opens a ‘Chamber of Reminiscences’. Ponce’s practice centres on video and installation, interrogating set, landscape, secrets and political narratives through the lens of popular culture.

Opening : Thursday 23 April, 18:00
Meeting with artist : Thursday 7 May, 18:00
