Inhabited: Eleven Brazilian Artists

Eleven Brazilian artists spanning the twentieth and twenty-first centuries engage in a group exhibition that examines how form is inhabited by belief systems, memory, ritual and everyday experience. Through painting, sculpture and assemblage, the works trace dialogues between modern and contemporary practices shaped by Afro‑Brazilian religions, Indigenous cosmologies and vernacular knowledge. Materials range from painted canvases and carved works to found objects and textile interventions, revealing layered narratives of lineage, syncretism and embodied memory.

Patterns explores the repetition and assembly of everyday industrial objects — trinkets, cups, CDs, rollers, sponges, pens, combs, buttons, sweets — organised into handcrafted systems of duplication constrained by physical properties. The works, presented as floor installations and photographic prints, emphasise how form, weight, volume, materiality and colour determine compositional logic, subverting original function. The new photographic series pttrnb2026 / Top Shots, made in dialogue with Boris Rabusseau, foregrounds motif structure over object recognition.

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.

7 May – 10 July

Yvan Salomone presents a series of recent watercolours that transform anonymous buildings and soulless industrial sites into evocative landscapes. Through delicate, velvety tones, subtle colour modulations and watery traces that suggest life, the artist elevates banal subjects and transfigures objective reality. The exhibition’s title, 2611, alludes to Salomone’s practice of assigning eleven‑letter titles composed from the alphabet, producing names that detach the work from literal description and invite poetic reading.

Opening: Thursday 7 May , 16:00

20 May – 31 July

Genevan artist Gérald Grosjean presents a focused series of paintings and handcrafted maquettes that examine industrial and railway landscapes. The show gathers twenty-seven canvases and three models made from reclaimed materials, emphasising a pointillist approach to structures such as stations, bridges, dams, factories and viaducts. Through meticulous dots and assembled found objects, Grosjean explores the aesthetic presence and collective memory of infrastructure, inviting reflection on material reuse and the visual poetry of engineered landscapes.

Opening : Tuesday 19 May, 18:00

28 May – 14 June

American artist Chad Turner presents photorealistic portraits executed in freeform crochet. Working with a single hook and diverse threads, Turner translates sources — old photographs, paintings, AI-generated images and family memories — into textile surfaces that range from intimate panels to works exceeding a square metre. The exhibition highlights his labour-intensive process and technical solutions for rendering subtle chromatic contrasts, revealing how fibre, texture and colour combine to produce uncanny, tactile likenesses.

Opening: 28 May 18:30

16 October 2025 – 30 August 2026

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.
