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.
Association NoOps (No Planned Obsolescence Switzerland) presents a travelling display that foregrounds the materiality of our phones. Through two vitrines and a selection of recovered components, the exhibition points to the precious metals embedded in devices and to “urban mines” hiding in drawers. Combining didactic panels, curated specimens and small installations assembled from reclaimed circuitry, it examines resource extraction, waste and value in contemporary consumer electronics, asking how reuse, repair and awareness can reframe our relationship to everyday technologies.
Curated by Matthias Sohr, Reserved for Groups brings together works by Florian Fouché, Mélody Lu, Xavier Robles de Medina, Orawan Arunrak, Florian Bonny, Stefania Carlotti, Chloé Delarue, Jean-Ulrick Désert, Marina Faust, Anne Duk Hee Jordan, Thomas Liu Le Lann, Pedro Marrero Fuenmayor, Lili Reynaud-Dewar, Kyung Roh Bannwart, Philipp Timischl, Ernie Wang, and Lauryn Youden. The exhibition explores subtle interventions within existing social and artistic contexts, presenting the artists’ work while making the gallery space more accessible.
Opening during the Nuit des Bains, Thursday 22 January, frpm 18:00.

Projects by five finalists from HEAD–Genève are presented alongside the work of Mohamad Khamis in an exhibition of installations that probe sharing and engagement.

ELLES brings together powerful contemporary Aboriginal women artists whose work bridges ancestral storytelling and modern abstraction. Featuring major figures such as Emily Kam Kngwarray and Mirdidingkingathi Juwarnda Sally Gabori, alongside artists from the Bérengère Primat Collection / Fondation Opale, the exhibition at the Musée Rath highlights symbolic, vibrant works rooted in land, memory, and spirituality.

Glazed Realities is a group exhibition curated by Vasilis Zografos that examines contemporary ceramic practices as instruments of storytelling, experimentation and transformation. Featuring works by Nacoca Ko, Fernando de la Rocque, Jan Steenman, Heberth Sobral and Irene Venetsanou, the show foregrounds ceramic surfaces as carriers of memory, social narrative and perceptual ambiguity. Through glazing, texture and material manipulation the artists deploy sculpture and object-based installations to probe materiality, luminosity, fragility and the interplay between form and human experience.
