Pascale Badaf: Atmosphères architecturales

In Atmosphères architecturales, Pascale Badaf explores early 20th-century modern architecture through painting, drawing on references ranging from Frank Lloyd Wright and Mies van der Rohe to cinematic influences. Her oil paintings transform villas, industrial buildings, and aquatic landscapes into quiet, enigmatic settings where light becomes a central narrative force. Devoid of human figures yet charged with subtle signs of presence, these carefully staged architectural scenes invite viewers to inhabit spaces suspended between realism, illusion, and imagination.

Opening on Thursday 15 January, from 18:00.
Also open during the Nuit des Bains on Thursday 22 January, from 18:00.

For his first solo exhibition in Geneva, Gregor Hildebrandt transforms Galerie Mezzanin into a poetic space of memory and transformation. Using materials such as magnetic tape, vinyl records, and audio cassettes, he reinterprets the physical traces of the analog world, turning familiar forms into sculptural and pictorial works. His installations evoke themes of transfer, nostalgia, and the fragility of memory, reminding us that remembrance once had a tangible medium. Balancing irony and reverence, Hildebrandt questions the role of the artist in an age dominated by digital reproduction, suggesting that art now resides not in direct representation of reality, but in the layered density of collective memory and desire.

Through two vitrines and a selection of recovered components, the exhibition points to the precious metals embedded in devices and to “urban mines” hiding in drawers. Combining didactic panels, curated specimens and small installations assembled from reclaimed circuitry, it examines resource extraction, waste and value in contemporary consumer electronics, asking how reuse, repair and awareness can reframe our relationship to everyday technologies.
