Physis: Ernst Gamperl & Shunshun

Free

Physis presents a two-person dialogue between sculptor Ernst Gamperl and the drawing practice of Shunshun. Gamperl’s internationally recognised sculptures, rooted in exceptional woodwork, explore growth, material presence and a generative life force. Shunshun’s delicate, layered line drawings shift from architectural training to intimate studies of spatial depth and quiet emotional resonance. Together the works consider intergenerational perspectives on form, technique and the elemental meanings of nature.

Tal Coat: Books and Illustrated Works

Art & Exhibits

L'Exemplaire

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.

Bestiaire contemporain — figures hybrides de l’âme humaine

Art & Exhibits

Villa Dutoit

Isabelle Perez constructs a contemporary bestiary of the human soul. Her hybrid figures — at the intersection of myth and animality — probe metamorphosis, instinct and memory. Through paintings, drawings, engravings and sculptures, Perez stages bodies that mirror inner myths and primal impulses. The work examines the fragile boundary between human and animal, and the broader human relationship to nature, seeking poetic and anthropological resonances that invite introspection rather than easy identification.

Opening reception on Friday, May 8th at 6:30 pm
The artist will be present on Saturdays and Sundays

Methodical Process

Art & Exhibits

Lovay Fine Arts

The exhibition brings together three artists, Nnena Kalu, Linda Bell and Marie Gyger, whose practices examine repetitive gesture as a daily discipline. Gyger reflects on the value of labour, while Bell and Kalu pursue more spontaneous, obsessive procedures. Their works, ranging from repetitive drawings and object accumulation to installations and assembled images, show how accumulation sculpts pictorial forms and material narratives, inviting reflection on labour, ritual and the construction of visual meaning.

Opening during Nuit des Bains, Thursday 12 March, 18:00.

Secrets and Mountains

Art & Exhibits

Fabienne Levy Gallery

Carlo D’Anselmi presents paintings that emerge from imagination, assembling figures, animals and landscapes into dreamlike compositions defined by colour, textured surfaces and a quietly emotive atmosphere. The exhibition considers painting as a silent language that unfolds through attention, light and time, while mountains assert themselves through scale and presence. Developed during the artist’s first stay in Switzerland overlooking the French Alps, the works respond to shifting rhythms and seasonal transformations in the landscape.

Au cœur de la terre sacrée

Art & Exhibits

La Menuiserie

At the heart of sacred earth, Jean-Marie Borgeaud’s exhibition explores the profound relationship between the human body, spirituality, and raw material. Through powerful ceramic sculptures and organic forms shaped by fire, smoke, and clay, the artist reveals a world suspended between fragility and strength, life and transformation. Deeply inspired by the human condition and the elemental force of matter, Borgeaud’s work invites viewers into an intimate, almost ritual encounter with the earth, where scars, textures, and imperfections become traces of memory and existence.

Eclats de ville, éclats de vie & Brutal Swiss

Art & Exhibits

Fondation WRP

Eliane Gygi presents a body of work where matter becomes light: painter, ceramicist and glass artist, she has developed since the 1980s compositions around glass and mirrors that evoke contemporary frescoes and mosaic-like textures. Her paintings and glass works balance presence and absence, with bold, luminous color fragments that capture and diffuse light beside bare mirrored surfaces that invite reflection. Alongside these, Gygi’s imagined architectural paintings depict clusters of asymmetrical houses in vivid landscapes. Maria Spada offers architectural jewellery—her Brutal Swiss series reimagines Swiss architecture, from Geneva fortifications to works by Zumthor and Botta, translating structural motifs into wearable forms.
