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.

Reggie Khumalo: Open Art Studio

Art & Exhibits

Filafriques Gallery

Artist Reggie Khumalo transforms the gallery into an open studio, producing new works on-site that blend painting, collage and mixed-media installation. His practice combines figurative painting with found materials and layered surfaces to explore memory, identity and social histories. Visitors are invited into the artist’s process as he experiments with scale, texture and colour, developing works that will be unveiled at upcoming fairs. The presentation emphasises materiality, narrative fragments and the performative aspects of making.

Lou Cohen — En attendant

Art & Exhibits

Palais de l'Athénée

Artist Lou Cohen presents a body of work that dialogues between still and moving images. Working with dry pastel, oil paint and short films, she stages interactions within the same installation, confronting static representation with motion. Her practice employs irony and darkly comic tones to translate everyday reality and prompt critical reflection. The works explore perception, narrative tension and the theatrical potential of materials, inviting careful viewing and reconsideration of what images can reveal.

Opening: Thursday 4 June, 18:00 (Salle Crosnier)

Meeting with the artist: Thursday 25 June, 18:00 (Salle Crosnier)

The Art of Illustrating the History of Plan-les-Ouates

Art & Exhibits

La julienne

Anna Tosello Liatti presents works by participants of her Drawing and Pastel and Mixed Techniques courses that reimagine the history of Plan‑les‑Ouates. Charcoal drawings, pastel landscapes, paintings and monotype experiments depict historical figures, sporting and occupational scenes, and still lifes of old and modern objects. The exhibition weaves personal and collective memory using observational technique and painterly composition to evoke local narratives, question how everyday activities shape communal identity, and celebrate the visual traces of a community’s past.

Opening: Tuesday 26 May – 18:00

3 June – 11 April 2027

In the Shadow of Discovery

Art & Exhibits

Musée d'histoire des sciences

Our eyes are naturally drawn to light and what shines. Yet what could be more fascinating than shadow? Shadows have enabled many fundamental discoveries: the shape of the Earth, the calculation of its circumference, the identification of electrons, and the understanding of planetary motion. They accompany us and enrich our thinking. Come and explore them to learn more about their role in science.

Exhibition in French & in English.

Forza Silenziosa – Sofia Cacciapaglia

Art & Exhibits

MABE Gallery

MABE Gallery presents Forza Silenziosa, the second solo exhibition of Sofia Cacciapaglia, whose paintings evoke a quiet, fluid world where forms, bodies, and landscapes gently merge, expressing a soft yet powerful feminine presence rooted in emotion, connection, and subtle energy.

Her work emphasizes transformation, intimacy, and dreamlike atmospheres, where silence carries intensity. Using reclaimed cardboard from her Milan neighborhood, she connects to the ethos of Arte Povera—a movement theorized by Germano Celant and associated with artists like Michelangelo Pistoletto and Jannis Kounellis—by embracing ‘poor’ materials and their histories; however, she diverges through her distinctly figurative and painterly approach, transforming humble surfaces into poetic images that bridge material awareness with narrative, imagination, and contemporary femininity.

Opening: Thursday 7 May, 16:00 – 21:00

4 June – 9 August

Alibert and the Arve: Writings of the River

Art & Exhibits

Musée de Carouge

Painter Éric Alibert presents a sensitive, meditative body of work inspired by the banks of the Arve. Using Chinese ink and watercolor on Japanese papers, his small-format writings of the living observe the discreet presences of urban wildlife. Through careful observation Alibert explores passages between interior and exterior, appearance and disappearance, proposing a contemplative, ecological gaze that brings wildness into the city and invites reflection on fragility and coexistence.
