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)
This exhibition explores the careers of Édouard Naville, Switzerland’s pioneering Egyptologist, and his wife Marguerite Naville, whose contributions alongside him are now recognised in their own right. Through archival documents, excavation records and pharaonic objects, the presentation illuminates their archaeological practice and Marguerite’s role, while situating their work within the political, religious and humanitarian commitments that shaped scholarly life at the turn of the twentieth century.
In French and in English.
Minor Tides brings together three young photographers — Lina Geoushy, Sarah Jade Sullivan and Farren van Wyk — who centre portraiture in work that interrogates family histories and cultural heritage.
Through staged and documentary photographic portraits, the artists examine collective identity, colonial legacies and processes of reclamation: Geoushy revisits pioneering women in Egypt’s past; Sullivan documents youth in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines navigating economic and colonial afterlives; van Wyk stages family portraits that rework violent colonial iconographies and affirm mixed identities. The exhibition traces subtle currents of change beneath visible histories.
Opening: Wednesday 1 July, 18:00
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)
An extensive survey assembled from a long-standing research collection devoted to glass, this exhibition takes a contemporary look at a millennia-old material. Over two hundred glass and mixed-media works, including sculptural objects, design pieces and installations, testify to a transdisciplinary experimental spirit. Featuring artists such as Ettore Sottsass, Pierre Charpin, Betty Woodman, Bob Wilson, Giuseppe Penone, Jana Sterbak and James Lee Byars, the show examines materiality, technique and the porous boundaries between craft, design and contemporary art.

Song Ruijin presents her first institutional solo exhibition, assembling a new series of paintings and ceramic sculptures within a site-specific installation. She constructs an unstable universe where the sky becomes ground and interior merges with exterior, populated by emoji-like figures that reflect individual alienation and the absurdities of digital capitalism. Through a syncretic visual language of accumulating imagery—sometimes comforting, sometimes unsettling—her sensory installations reveal logics of exploitation and control affecting human and non-human actors.
Opening: Thursday 28 May, 18:00
Yvan Salomone presents a series of recent watercolours that transform anonymous buildings and soulless industrial sites into evocative landscapes. Through delicate, velvety tones, subtle colour modulations and watery traces that suggest life, the artist elevates banal subjects and transfigures objective reality. The exhibition’s title, 2611, alludes to Salomone’s practice of assigning eleven‑letter titles composed from the alphabet, producing names that detach the work from literal description and invite poetic reading.
Opening: Thursday 7 May , 16:00
