Jessica Decorvet – Opening

Free, Booking Required

After several months in residence at the Florimont Institute, Jessica Decorvet presents to the public the fruits of her work and the encounters that have shaped her time at the school. The exhibition brings together several works by the artist, including a piece created especially at the Institute, presented alongside works by the students. The exhibition offers an opportunity to discover not only a contemporary artistic practice, but also how a residency can become a space for experimentation, sharing and collective creation. An encounter between an artist’s perspective and that of the young people who have accompanied her along the way.

Artist presentation at 18:00.

18 September – 31 October

German artist Olaf Holzapfel presents a body of work that quietly investigates landscape, architecture and vernacular traditions. Working across sculpture, drawing, painting and installation, he foregrounds materiality and craftsmanship, transforming humble materials into structures that mediate between nature and the built environment. The works trace textures of memory and labour, proposing subtle dialogues between form and site. The exhibition emphasises process and making, inviting sustained attention to material relationships and artisanal techniques.

16 September – 28 November

Beninese-born artist Roméo Mivekannin presents a series of paintings that investigate intimacy, memory and cultural identity. Working predominantly in acrylic on canvas, his canvases combine figurative portraiture with bold colour fields and textured surfaces. Works such as Anna in Red Kimono (2024) demonstrate a careful attention to costume, gesture and materiality, negotiating personal narrative and broader diasporic histories. The exhibition emphasises painterly craft and the tensions between representation and abstraction.

18 September – 15 November

Conceived by artist Pauline Coquart, Short Ass Attention Span #3 mixes literary experiment and live performance, assembling texts that range from apocalyptic sketches to risqué autofiction and political essays on sexuality. Editors and collaborators Ethan Assouline and Gaia Vincensini shaped the selection and the edition’s visual identity, while attentive editorial direction and inventive layout treat writing as performative material. The project foregrounds plural contemporary voices, shifting between intimate confession, sharp aphorism and sprawling narrative to create a charged, porous atmosphere.

18 September – 7 November

Artist Lou Masdurand presents a recent body of work that interrogates memory and materiality through layered painting and sculptural assemblage. Using oil, collage and found materials, Masdurand builds textured surfaces and precarious forms that record time and erosion. The exhibition examines thresholds between private recollection and shared history, privileging tactility, repetition and subtle ruptures in composition. Works demand sustained attention, inviting viewers to consider processes of making as traces of cultural and personal narrative.

17 September – 3 November

Geneva based artist Gregory Bourrilly presents seven sculptures and a photograph that reconsider human-centered narratives in favor of ecological processes. Since 2018 his practice explores living dynamics and natural phenomena, imagining a posthuman world where human culture gradually yields to vegetal and animal recolonization. The works combine sculptural forms and photographic framing to evoke material transformation, decay and emergence, proposing alternative imaginaries of coexistence beyond anthropocentrism.

16 September – 31 October

Le Nouveau Réalisme brings together works by Arman, César, Christo, François Dufrêne, Yves Klein, Niki de Saint Phalle, Mimmo Rotella, Daniel Spoerri, Jean Tinguely and Jacques Villeglé to examine the movement’s poetic reworking of urban detritus. The exhibition presents sculptures, assemblages, collages and interventions that displace found objects from everyday contexts, juxtaposing industrial materials, advertising fragments and ready‑mades. Through material play and détournement, the show explores urban consumption, collective memory and the politics of visibility.
