MIR’s Late Nights

Ferdinand Hodler’s work is presented as a modern spiritual quest, bringing together paintings, drawings and archival documents.
From early religious scenes informed by Protestant iconography to late Symbolist compositions, his canvases and studies explore unity between humans, nature and a universal harmony of forms. The exhibition emphasizes Hodler’s pictorial language—rhythmic figuration, landscape as moral presence and meditative repetition—revealing an inward, contemplative dimension in which body and rhythm function as vehicles for spiritual experience. Curated by Niklaus Manuel Güdel.

An expanded presentation of works from the Geneva School and the Lake Geneva region brings together paintings and drawings by Ferdinand Hodler, François Bocion, John Torcapel, Alexandre Perrier, Félix Vallotton, Alexandre Cingria and Jean Roll.

4 – 10 October

On the occasion of her first institutional solo exhibition in Geneva, Marisa Cornejo presents El Taller de la Fragilidad, bringing together new sculptures, drawings, and installations. Born in Chile and based in Switzerland, the artist draws on her experience of exile to explore the relationships between memory, displacement, absence, and repair. Several of the works have been created especially for Halle Nord, examining the forms of resilience that emerge from uprootedness. Recipient of the Fondation Francine Delacrétaz Prize (2023) and a Swiss Art Award (2024), Marisa Cornejo’s practice spans sculpture, drawing, installation, performance, and archival research.

15 September – 31 October

Martin Hyde presents an exhibition examining the relationships between painting, object, ceramics, design and poetry. His practice blurs boundaries between disciplines, producing works that sit between painted surfaces, ceramic forms and functional design, often scaled to engage the surrounding architecture. The show presents sculptural paintings and crafted objects that consider materiality, repetition and the poetics of domestic forms and scale.

16 – 31 September

An intergenerational exhibition presenting the work of Jannis Kounellis and Julian Charrière, focusing on a material-based conceptual practice that spans over fifty years. The display brings installations and sculptural works into dialogue, foregrounding elemental media such as coal, combustion, metal and petroleum used as supports and vectors of history, political reflection, energy and symbolic charge. The juxtaposition highlights shared concerns about matter, industry and the traces of human intervention.

Preview (Geneva Art Week) in presence of Julian Charrière: Wednesday 16 September, 17:00.

Opening (Nuit des Bains): Thursday 17 September, 18:00.

16 September – 10 October

Pierre La Police presents a retrospective of his work, spanning contemporary comics, digital art, installations, video and short film. Renowned for an absurdist sensibility and skewed humour, his practice blends hand-drawn sequences with experimental visual techniques and digital processes. The show traces recurring motifs—playful disruption, narrative fragmentation and visual experimentation—offering a layered survey of an artist who has expanded the language of comic art into installation and moving image.

23 September – 11 October

Swiss artist Andreas Kressig presents Station 505, a temporary sculpture-pavilion conceived as an architectural and sensory intervention. Built in relation to an existing fountain, the work paradoxically conceals and reveals water while offering both an exterior sculpture to contemplate and an interior space to inhabit. Through material presence and spatial thresholds it interrogates public versus private realms. The project is activated by shared moments with the artist centred on a communal tea service and reflections on its diverse cultural interpretations.

Opening: 23 September, 17:00
