MAMCO Opening: Tribute to Patricia Plattner

During the renovation period of the MAMCO Genève building, the circulation of the collection and archival holdings provides an opportunity to initiate a series of off-site projects conceived as spaces of dialogue between Geneva’s cultural institutions.

In this context, the museum is partnering with the Maison Saint-Gervais to present an exhibition dedicated to Patricia Plattner (1953–2016), a Geneva-based artist, filmmaker and screenwriter. In 2025, her family entrusted MAMCO with the archives of her work; the exhibition offers an initial presentation of these materials through a selection of films, documents and archival items.
