Guided Visit: VideoDatabase – 4th Carte blanche

Curated by Marie Jeanson and Denis Schuler, co-directors of Festival Archipel, Du bruit sur la bande presents a carte blanche selection from the VideoDatabase. The exhibition gathers video works that probe the materiality of the moving image, foregrounding signal noise, tape artifacts and experimental editing. Through single- and multi-channel screenings, archival fragments and contemporary practices, the programme examines how technical contingency shapes aesthetic meaning and historical memory.

22 January – 9 May

This exhibition pays tribute to Clifford Possum Tjapaltjarri, a seminal figure of Australian Aboriginal art and a pioneer of the Western Desert painting movement. Drawing on Dreaming stories and the ancestral landscapes of his Anmatyerre heritage, Possum translated traditional sand and body painting motifs into monumental canvases that intertwine myth, geography and memory. His richly patterned, large-scale works balance Indigenous cosmology with a striking sense of modern abstraction, affirming his lasting influence on global contemporary art.

Opening during the Nuit des Bains, Thursday 22 January, from 18:00.

The series celebrates diversity, courage and the expressive power of movement, presenting intimate, high-contrast images that foreground presence and gesture. Scenography by Lola Delbec and portraits include Sofiane Chalal, Missy NRC, Samantha Panda Laley, Maela Bouguila and Nicolas Meyapan.

Photographer Sylvain Cherkaoui contributes a visual layer that links performance with lived experience and humanitarian realities.

20 October – 6 May

Ready to dive into the dark depths off the island of Antikythera to discover an ancient shipwreck? The exhibition Nouvelles d’Anticythère presents the research carried out between 2021 and 2025 by the Classical Archaeology Unit of the University of Geneva, in collaboration with the Greek Ministry of Culture. It examines the famous shipwreck discovered in 1900 — a major merchant vessel that sank in the 1st century BCE — and invites visitors to discover the site and understand why it remains a key subject for archaeological research across the Mediterranean.

23 January – 30 April

London-based artist Konstantina Krikzoni presents a body of paintings born from an intense solitary studio practice. Her work blurs painting and sculpture: textured, tactile canvases where brushwork and sculptural modelling interweave. Silent yet confrontational female figures occupy compositions in grey and yellow, evoking funerary motifs and the logic of memory and grief. ARMATURA functions as metaphor and method — an internal armature of endurance that shapes emotion into form through material exploration and sustained process.

17 April 2025 – 17 April 2026

The exhibition invites you on a journey through anatomical models, casts, waxworks, and illustrated antique books. Modern tools like microscopy, medical imaging, and 3D printing uncover the inner workings of organs, currently utilized by medical students at the University of Geneva. This is a collaboration with the University of Geneva. Some images may not be suitable for younger or sensitive audiences.
