RV Graumann – Pttrn_b_2026

Art & Exhibits

andata.ritorno

Patterns explores the repetition and assembly of everyday industrial objects — trinkets, cups, CDs, rollers, sponges, pens, combs, buttons, sweets — organised into handcrafted systems of duplication constrained by physical properties. The works, presented as floor installations and photographic prints, emphasise how form, weight, volume, materiality and colour determine compositional logic, subverting original function. The new photographic series pttrnb2026 / Top Shots, made in dialogue with Boris Rabusseau, foregrounds motif structure over object recognition.

Opening: Thursday 21 May, 18:00

20 May – 31 July

Industry in a Thousand Points

Art & Exhibits

Quartier Libre SIG

Genevan artist Gérald Grosjean presents a focused series of paintings and handcrafted maquettes that examine industrial and railway landscapes. The show gathers twenty-seven canvases and three models made from reclaimed materials, emphasising a pointillist approach to structures such as stations, bridges, dams, factories and viaducts. Through meticulous dots and assembled found objects, Grosjean explores the aesthetic presence and collective memory of infrastructure, inviting reflection on material reuse and the visual poetry of engineered landscapes.

Opening : Tuesday 19 May, 18:00

7 May – 10 July

Yvan Salomone — 2611

Art & Exhibits

Galerie Sonia Zannettacci

Yvan Salomone presents a series of recent watercolours that transform anonymous buildings and soulless industrial sites into evocative landscapes. Through delicate, velvety tones, subtle colour modulations and watery traces that suggest life, the artist elevates banal subjects and transfigures objective reality. The exhibition’s title, 2611, alludes to Salomone’s practice of assigning eleven‑letter titles composed from the alphabet, producing names that detach the work from literal description and invite poetic reading.

Opening: Thursday 7 May , 16:00

7 – 28 mai

Gérard de Palézieux

Art & Exhibits

Illibrairie

Gérard de Palézieux’s illustrated books are presented in a curated selection of some fifty volumes showcasing original prints—etchings and lithographs—that reveal the artist’s draughtsmanship and graphic sensibility. The presentation focuses on the dialogue between image and text, highlighting sequence, typography and the hand of the illustrator. Many volumes come from the library of a prominent European bibliophile; a new catalogue accompanies the selection, documenting plates, editions and printing techniques.

Tender Buttons

Art & Exhibits

Musée Ariana

The Tender Buttons exhibition offers a multidisciplinary exploration centered on buttons, delving into their identity and historical significance. Featuring over three hundred ceramic and glass buttons, the exhibition interacts with the museum’s works to highlight their role in both formal experimentation and socio-cultural narratives. The exhibition’s architecture evokes the commercial arcades of the 19th century, a pivotal era for button industrialization. Curated by Claire FitzGerald, the exhibition is supported by the Swiss Fashion Museum and showcases never-before-seen pieces from several prestigious collections.

21 May – 20 June

Surfaces

Art & Exhibits

Espace L

Surfaces brings together eight contemporary artists—Jörg Brockmann, Nicolas Delaroche, Teodelina Detry, Nacoca Ko, Mila Mayer, Maya Rochat, Julien Spiewak and Gabriel Wickbold—to examine the material and perceptual qualities of photographic surfaces. Works range from scratched negatives and sculpted prints to ceramic transfers and screen-based pieces. The exhibition foregrounds texture, tactility and the interplay of light and matter, considering how photographic supports shape memory, embodiment and the boundaries between analogue and digital practices.

Opening: Thursday 21 May, 18:00
