Visit for non-French speakers inside the exhibition “Fuite au Marché Machin” brings together adults and families for a shared encounter with art and language, guided by Douze Zéro Deux and Annina Meyer. The visit invites participants to observe works, learn new expressions, and speak French in a cultural setting. Open to beginners, advanced learners, children, and French speakers alike, it frames illustration as a space for conversation, discovery, and playful exchange.
Objects tell stories here — about people, beliefs, traditions, and the way cultures meet. The MEG draws on collections from around the world, while also asking timely questions about where museum objects come from and how their stories should be told today.
Unfamiliar, Luminous, Remote marks Amit Berman’s first solo exhibition at the gallery, following an artist residency in Switzerland earlier this year. Bringing together a new body of paintings, the exhibition explores intimacy, memory and vulnerability through expressive gestures, visible layers of paint and atmospheric compositions. Moving between quiet domestic interiors, fragments of landscape and solitary figures, Berman’s works reflect on the fragile space between familiarity and estrangement, connection and withdrawal.
Created against a backdrop of war and emotional precarity, these intimate yet unsettled paintings reveal a persistent search for connection and belonging within an unstable reality.
Opening: Thursday 17 September, 18:00
Talk: Sunday 20 September, 14:30-15:30 with curator Danniel Tostes and Amit Berman.
Abdul Rahman Katanani presents a contemplative exhibition curated by Barbara Polla that gathers artistic, philosophical and literary propositions to rethink the world and imagine solutions. The centrepiece is the drawings series «The Story Portals», created for this presentation. Through narratively charged drawings, Katanani probes memory, migration and collective imaginaries, inviting reflection on how visual storytelling can articulate ethical and social alternatives. The work balances poetic gesture and rigorous conceptual inquiry.
Opening: 8 October
Dance First Think Later brings together choreographers, performers, visual artists and videographers to investigate convergences between dance, performance and moving image. The exhibition combines installations, video works, sculptures, drawings, scores and archival materials alongside durational performances.
Through embodied gestures and staged movement, the programme examines how bodies register history, politics, migration, gender, urban space, ecology and technology. Curated by O. Kaeser, the project foregrounds relational practices that reveal and question the choreographies shaping social and spatial life.
Swiss collective PROJEKTIL stages the emergence of life through an immersive audiovisual installation. Site-responsive animated projections and sculptural light sequences transform walls and ceilings, accompanied by an atmospheric musical score. Using cutting-edge technology and layered animation, the work evokes cosmogony and the fragile origins of existence, inviting reflection on formation, scale and temporal unfolding. The piece reveals how digital media can translate primordial themes into sensory, architectural experience.
Stéphane Ducret presents Being Matters, an immersive series of recent paintings that map psyche and the living realm. The presentation gathers seven large to very large oil paintings on linen alongside a series of small-format works on wood. Through layered surfaces, deliberate errors and a dense pictorial process, Ducret explores invisible mechanisms of thought, memory and introspection. The works function as atmospheric studies of materiality and painterly gesture, charting states of mind and organic presence.
