FURTHER AFIELD
This exhibition celebrates the artistry of Michel Mottier, a craftsman from the Pays-d’Enhaut who carves each wooden cream spoon with patience and precision. Discover around a hundred unique handcrafted spoons, each reflecting his remarkable skill and dedication to this singular passion.
Glacier(s) brings together the work of Bernard Garo and Jacques Pugin in a dialogue around mountain landscapes and the fragile presence of ice. The exhibition examines visual and conceptual responses to glaciers—their beauty, gradual transformation and the human imprint on these environments—offering a space for critical reflection. Works are presented alongside paintings by the young artist Albatros, whose canvases give a distinctive voice to mountain forms, in collaboration with FEDRE.
Matthias Lecoq investigates the contemporary city as a milieu of existence, probing how urban forms shape subjectivity and appearance. The exhibition centers on abstract paintings that translate urban forces—density, thresholds, fields, circulations, exhaustion and momentum—while photographs anchor the work in everyday situations. Diagrams, cosmologies and textual fragments act as thinking-tools rather than explanations. Through a study of grammars, rhythms and tensions, Lecoq’s practice reveals the conditions that make collective and individual emergence possible within urban life.
The exhibition delves into the realism, drama, and emotional intensity of 17th-century Dutch artists influenced by Caravaggio. The works of Gerrit van Honthorst and Judith Leyster exemplify the bold use of light and shadow to capture everyday life with theatrical intensity. Their contributions left a significant impact on the art of the era, paving the way for new expressions of the human condition.
Opening during the Art en Vieille-Ville collective vernissage on Thursday, November 6, from 16:00 to 21:00.
Adrien Mondot and Claire Bardainne present an interactive exhibition that blends visual and performing arts, placing the body at the heart of image-making. Combining handcrafted objects with digital devices, the duo uses augmented reality and holography to propose a form of digital animism: apparently motionless stones and objects reveal hidden life through poetic scenarios. The series ‘Le Silence des pierres’ pays homage to the agency and intimacy of life lodged in inert matter.
Beat Zoderer’s first exhibition with lange + pult in Geneva presents a new series of works inspired by the economy of haiku. In these small-format pieces, the artist translates brevity, precision, and tension into the pictorial field through grids and modular patterns. Layered, translucent colors create subtle depth and shifting perceptions, while recurring square motifs generate a restrained yet vibrant rhythm. Rooted in concrete art, the series stands out for its quiet, almost meditative quality, where meaning emerges from the balance between form, color, and visual silence.
Opening on Thursday 15 January, from 18:00.
In Soft Gravity, Domum delves into the materiality and sensuality of forms through a multitude of contemporary voices in design and creation. Imagined as a sensitive constellation, the exhibition showcases suspended, fleshy, and sculptural shapes that intertwine. It invites visitors to an experience that balances between fragility and strength, memory and presence.
Opening: Thursday 13 November, 18:00 – 21:00
