Le verre, une matière mystérieuse

Booking Required

An exploration of glass as a mysterious material, the exhibition presents a range of glass objects, from delicate vessels and sculptural forms to immersive installations. It considers glass’s translucency, fragility and alchemical processes, highlighting technical processes, surface treatments and experimental approaches. The works evoke histories of craft and contemporary experimentation, questioning perception, light and materiality while revealing the interplay between function, ornament and conceptual inquiry.

7 May – 1 August

Etienne Francey and Onoko present a collaborative exhibition exploring the mirage as visual and psychological phenomenon. Francey’s photographic practice treats landscapes as memory, rendering familiar scenes with a soft, recollected quality. Onoko contributes more abstract works that distill atmosphere and luminous degradation into colour fields and ephemeral surfaces. Together their pieces interrogate perception, illusion, and the shifting boundary between apparition and documentation, using photography, colour studies and light to destabilize what the eye assumes to know.

Ben Thouard is an ocean artist and one of the world’s foremost surf photographers. In his work water becomes a darkroom, an underwater camera obscura that reveals a singular, immersive vision. This exhibition presents previously unseen photography born of a near-daily practice: a language of water and light. Between organic forms, deep textures and shifts of shadow and clarity, Thouard’s images move between abstraction and contemplation, offering a sensory experience that explores the movements and metamorphoses of liquid matter.

Painter Éric Alibert presents a sensitive, meditative body of work inspired by the banks of the Arve. Using Chinese ink and watercolor on Japanese papers, his small-format writings of the living observe the discreet presences of urban wildlife. Through careful observation Alibert explores passages between interior and exterior, appearance and disappearance, proposing a contemplative, ecological gaze that brings wildness into the city and invites reflection on fragility and coexistence.
