5 November – 9 January

Momentum

Momentum désigne cet instant où un mouvement, une fois engagé, acquiert sa propre force et ouvre la voie à de nouvelles possibilités. Cette exposition collective réunit Deniz Aktaş, Marie-Laure Davy, Adrien Menu, Cristina Alabau, Bana Studio, Clara Cebrián, Nelly Feillant et Jan Steenman autour d’une même énergie créatrice. Certains rejoignent pour la première fois la programmation de MABE Gallery ; d’autres y reviennent avec des œuvres qui témoignent d’une évolution de leur pratique, de nouvelles recherches et d’un regard renouvelé.

À travers une diversité de médiums, de matières et de gestes, Momentum fait naître des correspondances inattendues entre les œuvres. Les pratiques se rencontrent sans se confondre, portées par une même volonté d’expérimenter, de se déplacer et de poursuivre leur transformation. Pensée comme un point de rencontre entre découverte et continuité, l’exposition célèbre une création vivante : celle qui avance, se réinvente et trouve dans le dialogue une impulsion nouvelle.

25 September – 24 January

Ferdinand Hodler: Profession of Faith examines for the first time the spiritual dimension in the work of Ferdinand Hodler (1853–1918). Through some twenty-five paintings, the exhibition traces his youthful biblical readings, his rare biblical scenes, and his relation to the Reformation and the city of Geneva. It also considers how notions of creation and the order of nature informed his symbolist language and his meditative landscapes, revealing the interplay between religious themes and formal concerns in his painting.

22 September – 30 August

Border Forensics presents an audiovisual exhibition of investigative films documenting violence at borders.
Excerpts from three films, The Death of Blessing Matthew (2022), The Death of Roger Nzoy Wilhelm (2025) and Asymmetric Visions (2023), combine documentary footage with geospatial analysis, data visualization and 3D modeling. The works reconstruct contested events, interrogate aerial surveillance and Mediterranean migration control, and foreground communities affected by border violence. The project examines how images and data can document abuses, challenge official narratives and advance claims for mobility justice.

Opening: September 22, 18h30 – speeches, performance, drinks.

4 June – 25 October

Sylvia Sleigh’s retrospective pairs the artist’s figurative painting with ‘Refaire collection’, a polygraphic project offering a feminist rereading of art-history canons. Sleigh, a Welsh painter active in New York, is known for reversing gendered norms—placing the male nude where the female traditionally appears—and for portraits of the 1960s–70s New York art community. ‘Refaire collection’ gathers Swiss holdings and works by artists such as Louise Bourgeois, Meret Oppenheim, Pipilotti Rist, Joan Semmel and the Guerrilla Girls across painting, sculpture, video, drawing and photography.

Opening: 4 June 18:00

3 – 24 October

Ken-You Ferrero presents luminous paper sculptures that explore nature and light. Working with tissue paper and washi, the artist constructs refined, fragile and symbolic forms that dialogue with materiality, balance and the living. The works emphasise translucency, subtle textures and the interplay of shadow and glow, offering a contemplative experience that interrogates fragility, regeneration and the intimate connections between craft and natural phenomena.
Opening: 3 October, 11:00 – 17:00
Closing 24 October, 11:00 – 17:00

13 October – 15 November

Dance First Think Later brings together choreographers, performers, visual artists and videographers to investigate convergences between dance, performance and moving image. The exhibition combines installations, video works, sculptures, drawings, scores and archival materials alongside durational performances.
Through embodied gestures and staged movement, the programme examines how bodies register history, politics, migration, gender, urban space, ecology and technology. Curated by O. Kaeser, the project foregrounds relational practices that reveal and question the choreographies shaping social and spatial life.

Permanent exhibition

Five thousand years of ideas on paper — and beyond. Manuscripts, first editions, papyri and rare books trace the history of human thought and writing, from ancient civilisations to modern literature. Shakespeare, Goethe and countless other voices meet in Mario Botta’s striking underground museum.
