GemGenève presents an exhibition curated by Pauline d’Abrigeon, exploring the interplay between artisan hands and rare mineral and organic materials. The show brings together over a hundred loaned objects — jade, coral, onyx, agate, amber, tortoiseshell and more — alongside nearly forty works from the Baur Foundation.
It highlights lapidary and conservation techniques through live métiers d’art demonstrations, workshops, panel discussions, and guided tours on request, while a pop‑up bookshop and author signing complement the program.
This exhibition presents portraits and personal testimonies of about twenty Swiss centenarians alongside results from the SWISS100 interdisciplinary research project. Photographs, audio testimonies, archival documents and data visualisations dialogue to reveal everyday realities of longevity. The display combines portraiture and research to challenge clichés, exploring memory, loss, care and social infrastructures that shape life after a hundred. Visitors encounter intimate narratives framed by scientific analysis and visual storytelling.
Opening: Thursday 16 April, 18:30 – 20:30
Carlos Schwabe’s retrospective traces the symbolism and pictorial imagination that defined his practice. Trained in Geneva, Schwabe is celebrated for evocative book illustrations and ambitious pictorial compositions that blend allegory, myth and musical ideas. The exhibition presents paintings, illustrations and preparatory drawings drawn from public and private Swiss and French collections, exploring technique, materiality and the spiritual and literary currents that shaped his visual language around the turn of the twentieth century.
P.A.G.E.S. brings together publishers, artists, designers and visual-communication students to showcase contemporary printed matter and graphic design. The programme features artist books, launches and editorial projects — including presentations of Agathe de Limoges’s Une clé qui n’ouvre rien and the publication Couriller Gribourir by Stanyslas Leray — alongside exhibitions (Bänziger‑Hug‑Kasper‑Florio, Spinorama), a student‑illustrated daily edition and publishing‑focused encounters. The fair foregrounds experimental formats, typographic practice and the objecthood of the book.
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.
Artist Nicolas Ponce presents a personal exhibition of video installations that probe pathways of memory, both personal and collective. Works combine archival footage, film extracts, stolen sequences and found online materials to build layered visual montages. The exhibition text examines mechanisms of remembrance and describes an artistic montage of contradictions that opens a ‘Chamber of Reminiscences’. Ponce’s practice centres on video and installation, interrogating set, landscape, secrets and political narratives through the lens of popular culture.
Opening : Thursday 23 April, 18:00
