Short Ass Attention Span #3

Conceived by artist Pauline Coquart, Short Ass Attention Span #3 mixes literary experiment and live performance, assembling texts that range from apocalyptic sketches to risqué autofiction and political essays on sexuality. Editors and collaborators Ethan Assouline and Gaia Vincensini shaped the selection and the edition’s visual identity, while attentive editorial direction and inventive layout treat writing as performative material. The project foregrounds plural contemporary voices, shifting between intimate confession, sharp aphorism and sprawling narrative to create a charged, porous atmosphere.

Hadrien de Corneillan explores the industrial landscapes of the Rhône through painting, concrete prints and works on canvas. Developed during a residency with the Association pour le patrimoine industriel, his project traces the river from source to delta, reading ruins, concrete and shifting terrain as visual evidence of human intervention. The work reflects on memory, transformation and the fate of landscapes marked by industry, while drawing on the aesthetics of erosion and remnants.

11 October – 7 January

The Acedia project by French photographer Louise Desnos offers a contemplative photographic exploration of slowness, fatigue and intimacy. Through sensitive, minimalist compositions and staged portraits, Desnos elevates inertia and non-events into a quiet poetics. The series examines idleness as resistance, a space for introspection and for reclaiming autonomy. Photographs emphasize material textures, soft light and the presence of bodies at rest, inviting viewers to reconsider cultural prejudices about productivity and rest.

4 November – 12 February

This exhibition brings together 19 works by Geneva-born artist Alexandre Perrier, including seven oil paintings, five pastels and seven drawings. Perrier’s landscapes of the Alps, Mont Blanc, the Salève, Lake Geneva and Praz-de-Lys distill the shifting play of light and atmosphere into delicate, contemplative visions. The selection highlights his sensitive attention to nature’s emotional resonance and offers a rare chance to revisit an artist whose work bridges modernity, landscape poetry and a deeply rooted sense of place.

24 October – 22 November

Biennale de l’Image en Mouvement presents newly commissioned moving-image works by a selected international group of artists. The programme foregrounds experimental film, video and time-based installation, exploring contemporary approaches to narrative, spectatorship and archival practice. Public programmes and a co-edited publication accompany the commissions, situating projects within transregional dialogues and critical histories. Following an initial presentation in Tunis, the biennale will tour to Geneva and other European cities.

Permanent exhibition

Objects tell stories here — about people, beliefs, traditions, and the way cultures meet. The MEG draws on collections from around the world, while also asking timely questions about where museum objects come from and how their stories should be told today.
