Salvatore Emblema – May 1972

May 1972 is an exhibition dedicated to Salvatore Emblema (Naples, 1929–2006), bringing together works produced between the late 1960s and the early 1980s. Across paintings, sculptures and installations, Emblema refines a conceptual language that interrogates materiality, form and temporality. The presentation highlights his experimental use of found materials, assemblage and reductive gestures, situating these works within postwar Italian avant‑garde practices and the artist’s evolving exploration of spatial and epistemic limits.

26 March – 8 May

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.

‘Pleasing the Spirits’ brings together artworks and ritual objects that traverse global cosmologies, honouring ancestral rites and belief systems. The show assembles a contemplative visual language—interventions, sculptural forms and intimate objects—that traces distant ways of seeing and the material traces of ritual practice.
Through tactile surfaces, quiet compositions and evocative juxtaposition, the exhibition invites reflection on what spirits, memory and cultural transmission reveal, question and preserve across time and place.

13 March – 9 May

Naturæ brings together works by Silvia Bächli, Erik Bulatov, Jean Crotti, Franz Gertsch, Fabrice Gygi, Alex Hanimann, Alain Huck, Claudio Moser, Leanne Picthall and Melissa Steckbauer. Through a diversity of practices and generations, this group exhibition explores different artistic approaches to the natural world and its representation.

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

23 April – 3 May

A group of young street artists, led by Serval, present site-specific street-art interventions imagining a new façade. Through murals, stencils and large-scale painting they engage with references to Liotard and Serval, reworking historical echoes into a contemporary urban language. The works question collective memory and public identity, blending figuration and abstraction with ephemeral techniques and bold colour. The project reveals how a new generation reclaims architectural surfaces to propose civic narratives.

Round table 30th April in French.

16 April – 8 May

Presenting works by Julien Fournival, Théa Giglio and Chaolin Li, this exhibition draws on acts of recovery, diasporic narratives and ambiguous forms. Through found materials, sculptural interventions and time-based compositions, the project probes disjointed temporalities where memory and disappearance coexist. The artists intertwine material histories and personal fragments to question how objects and gestures carry traces across loss and migration.

Guided tours in French.

12 March – 9 May

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.
