Kounellis – Charrière

An intergenerational exhibition presenting the work of Jannis Kounellis and Julian Charrière, focusing on a material-based conceptual practice that spans over fifty years. The display brings installations and sculptural works into dialogue, foregrounding elemental media such as coal, combustion, metal and petroleum used as supports and vectors of history, political reflection, energy and symbolic charge. The juxtaposition highlights shared concerns about matter, industry and the traces of human intervention.

Preview (Geneva Art Week) in presence of Julian Charrière: Wednesday 16 September, 17:00.

Opening (Nuit des Bains): Thursday 17 September, 18:00.

More a time capsule than a traditional museum.

Opening: Wednesday 3 September at 18:00.

16 September – 4 November

Béchir Boussandel presents a body of work that unfolds from shadow and the heat of desert palettes. Through paintings, sculptures and delicate bird watercolours populated by anonymous figures, he examines displacement, crossing and survival within North African desert landscapes. The pieces use ochres, reds and material contrast to evoke memory and shifting identities, employing an atmospheric visual language that balances figuration and absence.

Permanent exhibition

Five thousand years of ideas on paper — and beyond. Manuscripts, first editions, papyri and rare books trace the history of human thought and writing, from ancient civilisations to modern literature. Shakespeare, Goethe and countless other voices meet in Mario Botta’s striking underground museum.

15 October – 17 January

An ephemeral collective of illustrators and invited guests presents new work developed during a residency. Artists include Melchior Best, Hannah de Carpentier, Coline Davaud, Fred Fivaz, Juliette Mancini, Romain Pereira, Audrey Ramos, Fanny Rose, Tommy Smits, Marie-Yaé Suematsu, Cassandre Tornay and Fabio Zimbres. The exhibition gathers original illustrations and collaborative projects that highlight a plurality of graphic approaches. It examines modes of exchange between individual practice and group dynamics, revealing how drawing-based practices adapt to collaborative and spatial contexts.

Opening: 14 October, 18:00

8 October – 21 November

Mirella Jaworska’s first solo exhibition presents paintings from 2026 that conjure the uncertain light of waking, when dream and reality blur. Drawing on early Renaissance masters and Japanese painting, Jaworska composes intimate tableaux populated by faces, flowers, skulls, cigarettes and studio objects, alongside recurring figures such as a jockey, a sphinx and a chair pierced by a heart. Her layered brushwork and muted palette explore memory, loss and melancholic reverie.
