MAMCO x SaSA x Joana Hadjithomas & Khalil Joreige

Joana Hadjithomas and Khalil Joreige present a site-specific project that juxtaposes archaeology, image and temporality. The presentation brings together works such as Palimpsests, Time Capsules and Trilogies, ranging from installations to photographic and film-based pieces. Working with archaeologists and adopting geological methods, the artists probe subterranean messages, historical ruptures and continuities, and the human and climatic forces that shape possible narratives. The exhibition foregrounds layered temporality and the politics of memory.

Geneva art, out in the vineyards.

18 September – 19 December

Permanent exhibition

Science with a lake view. Hidden inside the elegant Villa Bartholoni, this small museum is packed with historic instruments linked to astronomy, electricity, microscopy, and meteorology. A charming detour through Geneva’s surprisingly rich scientific past — with Parc Mon-Repos right outside.

18 September – 15 November

Conceived by artist Pauline Coquart, Short Ass Attention Span #3 mixes literary experiment and live performance, assembling texts that range from apocalyptic sketches to risqué autofiction and political essays on sexuality. Editors and collaborators Ethan Assouline and Gaia Vincensini shaped the selection and the edition’s visual identity, while attentive editorial direction and inventive layout treat writing as performative material. The project foregrounds plural contemporary voices, shifting between intimate confession, sharp aphorism and sprawling narrative to create a charged, porous atmosphere.

Permanent exhibition

Calvin, Geneva, and a movement that reshaped Europe. Just steps from St Peter’s Cathedral, the MIR traces the Reformation through paintings, manuscripts, rare books, objects and multimedia — turning a complex chapter of religious and political history into an accessible visit.

4 June – 25 October

Sylvia Sleigh’s retrospective pairs the artist’s figurative painting with ‘Refaire collection’, a polygraphic project offering a feminist rereading of art-history canons. Sleigh, a Welsh painter active in New York, is known for reversing gendered norms—placing the male nude where the female traditionally appears—and for portraits of the 1960s–70s New York art community. ‘Refaire collection’ gathers Swiss holdings and works by artists such as Louise Bourgeois, Meret Oppenheim, Pipilotti Rist, Joan Semmel and the Guerrilla Girls across painting, sculpture, video, drawing and photography.
