Ovide métamorphosé – Isabelle Excoffier

Accompanied by critical notices from Armen Godel and published in a limited-edition volume, the works stage intimate dialogues between text and image, inviting reflection on narrative mutation and the persistence of classical myths in modern artistic practice.

21 May – 26 June

Tomorrow Comes Today presents a carefully curated exhibition of contemporary visual work that interrogates temporality and the persistence of memory. Through painting, installation, photography and mixed-media practice, the show examines how everyday objects and fleeting moments accumulate meaning. The works employ layered surfaces, found materials and projected imagery to collapse past and future, inviting sustained attention to material process and embodied perception.

28 May – 10 September

Crossings brings together Swiss artist Maria Ceppi and Japanese artist Tami Ichino in a poetic dialogue exploring memory, transformation, and the hidden resonance of everyday forms. Through sculpture, painting, and assemblage, the artists reinterpret familiar materials and natural elements into evocative compositions that move between abstraction and recognition. Blending intuition, symbolism, and material experimentation, the exhibition creates immersive spaces where personal narratives intersect with broader reflections on nature, coexistence, perception, and the shifting relationship between humanity and the world around us. Hosted by GOWEN Contemporary, Crossings invites viewers into a contemplative journey where objects, landscapes, and emotions continuously evolve across forms, meanings, and states of being.

12 March – 20 June

May 1972 is an exhibition dedicated to Salvatore Emblema (Naples, 1929–2006), bringing together works produced between the late 1960s and the early 1980s. Across paintings, sculptures and installations, Emblema refines a conceptual language that interrogates materiality, form and temporality. The presentation highlights his experimental use of found materials, assemblage and reductive gestures, situating these works within postwar Italian avant‑garde practices and the artist’s evolving exploration of spatial and epistemic limits.

21 May – 20 June

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

7 May – 29 June

Pierre Tal Coat’s practice is examined through his intimate dialogue with the book, presenting around forty illustrated and picture-book collaborations alongside a selection of original works. The exhibition highlights his editorial partnerships with leading publishers and encounters with poets and writers, revealing a visual language where ink, print and image engage in precise, elliptical conversations with text. Works range across periods, tracing shifts in technique, materiality and a restrained yet expressive pictorial vocabulary.
