Rez:urgence – Iris Leroyer

Iris Leroyer presents Rez:urgence, a series of material-based works exploring contemporary urgencies—ecological, social and philosophical. Working through matter and its memories, Leroyer probes tipping points between entropic decay and regenerative processes, where the living oscillates between collapse and resurgence. The exhibition gathers tactile, process-oriented pieces that reveal histories embedded in materials and invite reflection on emergence, imbalance and the possible forms of renewal. It forms a chapter of the artist’s Opus Carbone project at the intersection of art and ecology.

11 – 22 February

Véronique Déthiollaz and Guy Schibler present a dialogue between drawing and photography that confronts mortality through laughter, desire and celebration. Déthiollaz’s graphite, occasional pastel and ink drawings deploy ironic, grotesque figuration—mocking skeletons and humbled reapers—while Schibler’s photographic series documents funerary sculpture and cemetery vistas that reveal provocative sensuality. Together the works probe how humour, eroticism and festivity resist oblivion, refusing pain through visual excess and theatricality, and interrogate cultural attitudes toward death, embodiment and memory.

14 November 2025 – 28 February

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.

Opening: Thursday November 13, 18:00 – 21:00

23 January – 30 April

London-based artist Konstantina Krikzoni presents a body of paintings born from an intense solitary studio practice. Her work blurs painting and sculpture: textured, tactile canvases where brushwork and sculptural modelling interweave. Silent yet confrontational female figures occupy compositions in grey and yellow, evoking funerary motifs and the logic of memory and grief. ARMATURA functions as metaphor and method — an internal armature of endurance that shapes emotion into form through material exploration and sustained process.

4 – 22 February

Luis Marques, artist and architect, examines his intimate relationship with water through abstract landscapes and text-infused works. Using repeated line, handwritten fragments and layered marks, he constructs an introspective journey that invites contemplative immersion.
The pieces evoke both Lake Geneva and the Atlantic glimpsed from his native Portugal, drawing on the depth of blue and the moving surface of water. By integrating adolescent texts, Marques frames a gentle choreography where line becomes migration and memory is rendered as drawing.

5 – 26 February

Matthias Lecoq investigates the contemporary city as a milieu of existence, probing how urban forms shape subjectivity and appearance. The exhibition centers on abstract paintings that translate urban forces—density, thresholds, fields, circulations, exhaustion and momentum—while photographs anchor the work in everyday situations. Diagrams, cosmologies and textual fragments act as thinking-tools rather than explanations. Through a study of grammars, rhythms and tensions, Lecoq’s practice reveals the conditions that make collective and individual emergence possible within urban life.

17 April 2025 – 17 April 2026

The exhibition invites you on a journey through anatomical models, casts, waxworks, and illustrated antique books. Modern tools like microscopy, medical imaging, and 3D printing uncover the inner workings of organs, currently utilized by medical students at the University of Geneva. This is a collaboration with the University of Geneva. Some images may not be suitable for younger or sensitive audiences.
