Featuring artists such as Ettore Sottsass, Pierre Charpin, Betty Woodman, Bob Wilson, Giuseppe Penone, Jana Sterbak and James Lee Byars, the show examines materiality, technique and the porous boundaries between craft, design and contemporary art.

Tender Buttons

Art & Exhibits

Musée Ariana

The Tender Buttons exhibition offers a multidisciplinary exploration centered on buttons, delving into their identity and historical significance.

Uqbaroxy

Art & Exhibits

Espace Ami Lullin

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.

Natalia González Martín: Fruta y media tarde

Art & Exhibits

Galerie Sébastien Bertrand

Natalia González Martín presents eleven new oil paintings on panel that extend her sustained engagement with still life. Drawing on the visual language of Baroque and Counter-Reformation masters such as Juan Sánchez Cotán and Francisco Zurbarán, the works turn toward the ritual of sobremesa — the suspended time after a meal — and consider it as a gendered social space. Set against tenebrist backgrounds, plates, fruit, glasses and fragments of bodies emerge to reorient still life from display and possession toward duration, relation and the often-invisible labour of togetherness.
