Hydromondes, a multidisciplinary collective, presents a two‑year field investigation into Lake Geneva through visual and narrative works. Combining art, science and activism, the group brings together architecture, theatre, hydrology, popular education, landscape design, biology, music, ethnography and engineering to produce mixed-media, research-driven installations and documentary narratives. Drawing on dialogues with local residents and ecological knowledge, the works examine water infrastructures, cultural imaginaries and governance, proposing experiments that reveal and question our relationships with the lake.

Tobias Kaspar – Flowers: Revenge

Art & Exhibits

Wilde

Tobias Kaspar (né en 1984 à Bâle, Suisse) est un artiste vivant et travaillant entre Zurich et Riga, ainsi qu’à Mesocco (Suisse) et Salacgrīva (Lettonie), où il dirige The Estate, deux résidences d’artistes et espaces d’exposition. Depuis près de vingt ans, sa pratique multidisciplinaire explore les systèmes à travers lesquels la valeur culturelle, l’auteurité, l’ambition et la signification sont produites et diffusées. À travers la photographie, le textile, l’installation, l’édition, la mode et la conception d’expositions, Kaspar fait souvent des mécanismes de la production culturelle le sujet même de son travail. Son œuvre a été présentée dans de nombreuses institutions internationales, notamment à Artists Space, Hamburger Bahnhof, Kunsthalle Basel, Kunsthalle Bern, MAMCO Genève et au Museum of Modern Art de Varsovie.

Observatories — Carte blanche to John M Armleder

Art & Exhibits

MAH

John M Armleder presents an interchange-based exhibition that foregrounds objects drawn from students’ suitcases. Through object-based works and subtle interventions, the show probes modes of observation, intimacy and collective memory. Personal belongings are rearranged as visual prompts that evoke histories, pedagogy and everyday cinematics. The artist’s restrained interventions invite reflection on how small domestic items circulate meanings and facilitate encounters, revealing how private narratives surface within a communal field of attention.
