Paleo — Artist Encounters

Geneva artists Serval and Kalonji present a dialogue between graffiti and illustration, bringing together spray-painted mark-making and drawn line. The presentation focuses on collaborative creation and the material interplay between aerosol, ink and paper, producing works that blur boundaries between street art and studio practice.
Their pieces explore urban visual language, rhythm, and the politics of public imagery, inviting reflection on authorship, gesture and the ways contemporary graphic forms shape collective perception.

Artist Sara McLaren offers a sensitive, affective exploration of our relationship to land, place and the trajectories that traverse us.

Between personal testimony and collective memory, the installation stages an archaeology of the present, where bodies, words and imaginaries coexist.
