3 July – 5 September

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.

12 July – 1 October

Photographer Florian Luthi’s Fantômes Météores is inspired by the 1954 wave of UFO sightings across France, especially along the Franco‑Swiss border. From one of these accounts he revisits childhood landscapes—mist‑shrouded forests, deserted villages and the Jura—and composes a photographic narrative where truth wavers and legends endure. The series uses long exposures, muted palettes and staged absence to probe memory, collective fear and the boundary between documentary and myth. A collaboration with Fondation Convergences.

Senegalese artist Adji Diouf presents a solo exhibition of paintings that move between figuration and abstraction. Colour structures the compositions, with warm, luminous palettes where the gaze becomes an anchor in abstract fields. Recurrent cultural motifs emerge across canvases, informing a poetic and visual vocabulary. The show highlights the artist’s sustained practice and pictorial exploration of memory, identity and transmission through layered surfaces and rhythmic forms.

3 July – 5 September

Intermezzo, Part 1 & 2 brings together works by Vincent Fournier, Franz Gertsch, Fabrice Gygi, Thomas Huber, Pierre Schwerzmann and Franz Erhard Walther. The group show stages a dialogue between photographic practice, painting and sculptural or performative interventions, highlighting contrasts of scale, materiality and pictorial space. Through composed images, painted surfaces and tactile objects, the exhibition considers modes of representation and the viewer’s bodily relation to works, encouraging slow looking and attentive spatial experience.
