LOOK UP ! Cent montgolfières dans le ciel

Rosanna Baledda presents an original installation that lifts the viewer into a reflection on the atmosphere’s vital role. Through an arrangement of balloon-like forms and suspended elements, the work juxtaposes the poetic image of a sky filled with hot-air balloons with sober questions about the atmosphere’s function: regulating temperature, filtering radiation and enabling breathable air. The installation highlights the atmosphere’s preciousness and fragility, inviting contemplation of human responsibility toward climate and the delicate networks sustaining life.

23 June – 9 September

Maliza Kiasuwa and Gavin Goodman present a black-and-white duo exploring emergence, connection and material memory.
Kiasuwa’s “Rhizomes” comprises sculptures of rope and woven elements that evoke roots and organic networks, invoking Deleuzean rhizomes to probe multiplicity, transformation and fragile relational structures.
Goodman’s “Vela” consists of photographic, hand‑painted works that reinterpret traditional garments through minimalist restraint, allowing motifs of appearance and becoming to surface.
Together the projects juxtapose sculptural tactility and photographic restraint to question how tradition and form reappear in contemporary practice.

Closing event: Wednesday 9 September, 18:00

2 – 13 September

Luis Marques presents DEEP BLUE and INTERMITTENCES, two series of drawing-based works that transform line into landscape, rhythm and breath. DEEP BLUE offers expansive fields of blue where delicate marks build textured, contemplative seascapes. INTERMITTENCES reworks reclaimed screen-print test papers, letting traces, stains and accidents enter a patient process of repeated lines. Using pens, markers and even sewing thread, Marques negotiates control and chance, producing intimate topographies that meditate on time, repetition, memory and material transformation.

Opening: 2 September, 18:00
Closing: 13 September, 18:00

3 September – 1 October

On its 40th anniversary, the association Traditions pour demain commissioned five photographers from Bolivia, Ecuador and Guatemala to present documentary photographs portraying daily life, ancestral knowledge and resilience among Indigenous communities of Latin America. The series explores entangled crises—climatic, social and cultural—that shape their present, using intimate portraiture and landscape studies to reveal survival strategies, intergenerational transmission and forms of resistance. The work invites reflection on living traditions as sites of knowledge and hope.

24 April – 3 January

An extensive survey assembled from a long-standing research collection devoted to glass, this exhibition takes a contemporary look at a millennia-old material. Over two hundred glass and mixed-media works, including sculptural objects, design pieces and installations, testify to a transdisciplinary experimental spirit. Featuring artists such as Ettore Sottsass, Pierre Charpin, Betty Woodman, Bob Wilson, Giuseppe Penone, Jana Sterbak and James Lee Byars, the show examines materiality, technique and the porous boundaries between craft, design and contemporary art.

Puissance 5 brings together five women artists from different generations in a dialogue between matter and spirit. Their intersecting trajectories produce works where gravity, metal, graphite and cosmic imagery become recurring motifs. The exhibition presents pieces in metal, pencil and mixed media that interweave tactile presence and poetic restraint, exploring materiality, perception and the enduring force of feminine creation across time and space.

27 August – 15 November

Jean-Marc Yersin and Antoine Roth present two photographic projects that probe urban and natural perception.

In Cités délaissées, Yersin composes futuristic images of deserted cities where digital dematerialization, climate strain and demographic decline have hollowed out public life; the photographs evoke frozen infrastructures and virtual withdrawal. Mirages sees Roth using a long-focus digital camera along the shores of Lake Geneva to capture rare atmospheric and optical phenomena—mirages, light and reflections—questioning the materiality of landscape and how perception shapes experience.

Opening: Thursday 27 August, 18:00
