Lou Cohen — En attendant

Free

Artist Lou Cohen presents a body of work that dialogues between still and moving images. Working with dry pastel, oil paint and short films, she stages interactions within the same installation, confronting static representation with motion. Her practice employs irony and darkly comic tones to translate everyday reality and prompt critical reflection. The works explore perception, narrative tension and the theatrical potential of materials, inviting careful viewing and reconsideration of what images can reveal.

Opening: Thursday 4 June, 18:00 (Salle Crosnier)

Meeting with the artist: Thursday 25 June, 18:00 (Salle Crosnier)

Carlos Schwabe

Art & Exhibits

MAH

Carlos Schwabe’s retrospective traces the symbolism and pictorial imagination that defined his practice. Trained in Geneva, Schwabe is celebrated for evocative book illustrations and ambitious pictorial compositions that blend allegory, myth and musical ideas. The exhibition presents paintings, illustrations and preparatory drawings drawn from public and private Swiss and French collections, exploring technique, materiality and the spiritual and literary currents that shaped his visual language around the turn of the twentieth century.

Alibert and the Arve: Writings of the River

Art & Exhibits

Musée de Carouge

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.

Anti-Gravity

Art & Exhibits

Halle Nord

Song Ruijin presents her first institutional solo exhibition, assembling a new series of paintings and ceramic sculptures within a site-specific installation. She constructs an unstable universe where the sky becomes ground and interior merges with exterior, populated by emoji-like figures that reflect individual alienation and the absurdities of digital capitalism. Through a syncretic visual language of accumulating imagery—sometimes comforting, sometimes unsettling—her sensory installations reveal logics of exploitation and control affecting human and non-human actors.

Opening: Thursday 28 May, 18:00

Entre terres

Art & Exhibits

Usine Kugler

Ana Carolina Sargenti presents drawings, paintings and sculptural elements that examine the processes used to identify people who disappeared during Argentina’s last dictatorship.

Using charcoal portraiture, engraved layers of earth, watercolour impressions and plaster forms, her practice navigates appearance and erasure. Works range from material excavations to subtle removals of surface—charcoal portraits created by subtracting from black reserves, and landscapes shaped from layered earth—probing memory, territory, disappearance and the reconstruction of collective traces.

Le Verre, au-delà de la matière

Art & Exhibits

Musée Ariana

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.

Opening : Thursday 23 April, 18:00
