Guided Tour: Male Gaze/Female Gaze

Free

An inter-institutional conversation examines how perspectives and narratives around female and male nudity are constructed. The programme highlights the work of Sylvia Sleigh, whose practice reconsiders portraiture and the nude through the lens of 1970s feminism, subverting conventional viewing positions. Alongside collection-based displays tracing a shift from the heroic to the erotic gaze, the presentation juxtaposes representational strategies and visual languages to reveal how gender, power and desire are staged and perceived.

Pyramids — Chris Lovasoa Kauffmann

Art & Exhibits

Lovay Fine Arts

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.

Skopia Art Contemporain

Tobias Kaspar – Flowers: Revenge

Art & Exhibits

Wilde

Tobias Kaspar (né en 1984 à Bâle, Suisse) est un artiste vivant et travaillant entre Zurich et Riga, ainsi qu’à Mesocco (Suisse) et Salacgrīva (Lettonie), où il dirige The Estate, deux résidences d’artistes et espaces d’exposition. Depuis près de vingt ans, sa pratique multidisciplinaire explore les systèmes à travers lesquels la valeur culturelle, l’auteurité, l’ambition et la signification sont produites et diffusées. À travers la photographie, le textile, l’installation, l’édition, la mode et la conception d’expositions, Kaspar fait souvent des mécanismes de la production culturelle le sujet même de son travail. Son œuvre a été présentée dans de nombreuses institutions internationales, notamment à Artists Space, Hamburger Bahnhof, Kunsthalle Basel, Kunsthalle Bern, MAMCO Genève et au Museum of Modern Art de Varsovie.

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.
