Nations District: Riverside Path

An invitation to an artistic passage, this project transforms a strategic underpass into a painted fresco and links to a shore-side signal installation. The tunnel mural is realised by the Artmur collective (Julien Scalabrino, Tiffany Sibra and Celestin Tanari), while the Signal installation was conceived by Max Bondu with architects Charles Bouscasse and Marion Mouny as part of the Veiller au grain project, self-built in the Bermuda workshops. The works explore movement, thresholds and dialogue with the riverside.

Pierre Montant presents a series of paintings exploring the uncanny within everyday surroundings. Through patient observation and a careful pictorial process, seemingly banal images become spectral and gradually give rise to canvases that probe mystery and enigma. The works oscillate between recognition and suggestion, evoking obsession, memory and metaphysical wandering. The exhibition considers how painting unveils hidden presences in the quotidian and how slow, repetitive attention can transform fleeting perceptions into sustained visual inquiry.

Zoe A. Keller and Batia Suter present a collaborative project that reframes the Eranos archives—about 3,000 archetypal images compiled by Olga Fröbe-Kapteyn and held at the Warburg Institute—as material for critical and photographic inquiry.
Taking the form of a critical essay and a photographic installation, the work questions and re-signifies these images, confronting their entanglement with universalist and violent ideologies. The artists propose the notion of the ‘anarchétype’ to reveal archetypal figures as unstable cultural constellations.

28 March – 10 May

MAMCO presents Dial‑A‑Poem Switzerland, a telephone-based poetic broadcasting project inspired by John Giorno. The installation transforms a decommissioned phone booth into a listening station, gathering recorded voices from across Switzerland’s linguistic regions.

Conceived with Giorno Poetry Systems, the project foregrounds voice as material and communal listening as a poetic practice.
