The MAH showcases Tonutopie, an innovative installation by German artist Hans-Walter Müller, a trailblazer in inflatable structures. This large, transparent, and habitable sphere, nestled within Vincent Lamouroux’s La Passerelle, offers a unique sensory experience. It delves into the contrasts between the fluidity of inflatable structures and the rigidity of traditional architecture, providing visitors with a fresh perspective on space.

4 June – 17 July

Sébastien Bertrand presents a selection of paintings and works on paper by Rammellzee, highlighting the artist’s radical exploration of language, architecture and symbolic warfare. The presentation emphasises the material and pictorial force of dense compositions made with spray paint, ink, acrylic, metallic pigments, collage, markers and industrial materials. Together the works reveal a complex visual language that interrogates text, form and urban histories, situating Rammellzee’s practice within late twentieth-century experimental art.

Opening: 4 June, 18:30

28 May – 11 July

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

6 June – 29 March

Julian Charrière presents a major project that traces geological, climatic and planetary time through sculpture, installation, film and photography. Using stone, ice, coal, lava, metals and fossil matter as both material and subject, the works examine entangled histories of nature, extraction, industry and myth. Charrière compresses deep timescales into sculptural processes — coring glacial boulders repaired with precious metals, mechanically transforming ancient rocks, and reframing extractive landscapes as sites of destruction and wonder.

11 – 30 June

Momar Seck presents a series of drawings that accompany his new monograph Poïétiques. Through delicate studies of foliage, roots, textures and organic forms, Seck explores the invisible links between matter, nature and emotion. His sensitive visual language oscillates between close observation and inner poetics, inviting the viewer to slow down and perceive the subtle traces left by time, the earth and the breath of life. The show establishes a dialogue between image and writing.

Opening and book signing on 11 June at 18:30.

26 – 28 June

An immersive installation commissioned by the Swiss Foundation for Mine Action (FSD) that places visitors in the perspective of nearly 100 million people who live in areas contaminated by mines and explosive remnants of war. The work evokes the scale and human cost of contamination, confronting the long-term humanitarian, social and psychological consequences of armed conflict. It prompts reflection on humanitarian demining, responsibility, and how societies remember and respond to hidden wartime legacies.
