Hidden Treasures of Graphic Arts

Survey of Carlos Schwabe and Swiss symbolists reveals the poetic intensity of fin-de-siècle graphic art.
Drawings, prints and rare books on paper articulate allegory, mysticism and the decorative register of the Rose+Croix aesthetic. The works reflect a Parisian community of Swiss artists in the 1890s, receptive to innovations by Puvis de Chavannes and Rodin. Selected sheets and printed material from museum reserves highlight exchanges between personal myth-making and broader symbolist visual language.

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.

3 – 15 March

Morpho is the first photographic exhibition by Lamine Jammeh (Lemz.O) that honors dancers who assert their identities beyond appearance. Through staged portraits and a sensitive visual language, Jammeh explores themes of identity, embodiment and performative selfhood. 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.

18 February – 23 December

Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s herbarium, compiled in the 1770s for the printer-bookseller Charles-Joseph Panckoucke, is presented through preserved pressed specimens, its original catalogue and related botanical publications. 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.

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.

6 – 15 March

Belleville-based photographer Souleymane Fofana, known as Commeas and also a player with JA Drancy, presents a body of photographic works that approach football through instinct and immediacy. Using motion, blur and saturated colour, he captures energy rather than fixed form, privileging rhythm, perception and spontaneous gesture over technical precision.

The images emerge from intuitive, in-the-moment shooting, a visual language of movement that evokes play, chaos and collective intensity. The presentation runs alongside the film Belleville nous verra toujours danser.

23 January – 2 April

An immersive exhibition exploring neutrinos, the nearly undetectable particles that traverse Earth by the billions each second. Through large-scale photographic works, scientific models, archival imagery and interactive displays, the show traces the experimental ingenuity behind detectors such as Super Kamiokande. It juxtaposes cutting‑edge instrumentation with poetic reflections on scale, invisibility and the cosmos, inviting visitors to consider how technological precision reveals fundamental processes that shape our understanding of matter and the universe.
