Matières Vivantes: Clarissa P. Valaeys & Lisa Novel

Free

Matières vivantes brings together the botanical paintings of Clarissa P. Valaeys and the sculptural works of Lisa Novel. Through pigments, earth and fibres, the two artists explore a relationship with nature that informs both form and material. Valaeys layers botanical motifs and translucent passages, sometimes using pigments made from plants and minerals, while Novel weaves fibres into textured, earthy volumes. Together their practices emphasise attentiveness to organic shapes, material presence and a quiet, sensory mode of looking.

Opening: 29 October, 18:00

5 + 5 = Y marks a new chapter in Geneva-based artist Stéphane Ducret’s practice. Presenting his new Being Matters series, the solo exhibition explores memory, thought and the human psyche through seven large-scale oil paintings and a selection of smaller works. Layered, organic and introspective, the works transform the canvas into a living record of gesture, experimentation and memory.

Opening: Saturday 10 October, 13:00–00:00 and Sunday 11 October, 13:00–19:00

Hiwirhi Ipaattoni — Boîte d’Étoiles

Mi Mawai and Madzerokai present an immersive audiovisual installation born from a residency exchange between the Brazilian Amazon and Geneva. The work invites immersion in Baniwa cosmology through video, layered soundscapes, flutes, traditional singing and dance. Visitors are invited to lie in hammocks and on mats for contemplative encounters with projected landscapes and ritual sonic textures. The piece foregrounds ancestral knowledge, collective memory and multisensory modes of storytelling.

The Rousseau Journey

Art & Exhibits

Maison Rousseau

Rousseau was born right here in 1712. Today, his birthplace pairs a permanent journey through his ideas with a lively programme devoted to contemporary literature. Philosophy, freedom, education, nature: centuries later, the questions raised inside these walls still feel remarkably current.

Three Centuries of Geneva Art

Art & Exhibits

Collection du Crest

Geneva art, out in the vineyards. Housed in a converted agricultural building on the Château du Crest estate, this collection follows three centuries of the Geneva School through landscapes, lake views, portraits and still lifes — including works by Hodler, Liotard, Agasse and Pradier. Art followed by a countryside wander? Yes, please.
