Minor Tides

Minor Tides brings together three young photographers — Lina Geoushy, Sarah Jade Sullivan and Farren van Wyk — who centre portraiture in work that interrogates family histories and cultural heritage.

Through staged and documentary photographic portraits, the artists examine collective identity, colonial legacies and processes of reclamation: Geoushy revisits pioneering women in Egypt’s past; Sullivan documents youth in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines navigating economic and colonial afterlives; van Wyk stages family portraits that rework violent colonial iconographies and affirm mixed identities. The exhibition traces subtle currents of change beneath visible histories.

Opening: Wednesday 1 July, 18:00

Our eyes are naturally drawn to light and what shines. Yet what could be more fascinating than shadow? Shadows have enabled many fundamental discoveries: the shape of the Earth, the calculation of its circumference, the identification of electrons, and the understanding of planetary motion. They accompany us and enrich our thinking. Come and explore them to learn more about their role in science.

4 June – 25 July

Christine Gaillard and Chantal Carrel present a dialogue between painting and sculpture that probes transparency as an experience of light, space and perception. Gaillard’s paintings employ layered surfaces, subtle rhythms and luminous chromatic variations to invite inward contemplation. Carrel’s sculptures—crafted in resin, stone and wood—play with geometry, refraction and shadow, activating volume and architectural relationships. Curated by Myriam Bongard-Stadler, the exhibition explores how materiality and light disclose hidden depths and questions of gaze.

11 June – 29 August

Traces of Presence gathers artists whose practices examine what remains beyond immediate visibility.

Luca Mancone repurposes receipts and thermal paper; Eilena Braye converts microscopic structures into vivid abstraction; Justyna Maria Porowska and Didier Van der Borght negotiate geometry, surface and imagined silhouettes.
