Station 505

Swiss artist Andreas Kressig presents Station 505, a temporary sculpture-pavilion conceived as an architectural and sensory intervention. Built in relation to an existing fountain, the work paradoxically conceals and reveals water while offering both an exterior sculpture to contemplate and an interior space to inhabit. Through material presence and spatial thresholds it interrogates public versus private realms. The project is activated by shared moments with the artist centred on a communal tea service and reflections on its diverse cultural interpretations.

Opening: 23 September, 17:00

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.

16 – 27 September

Aldo Locatelli presents a diverse body of work spanning decades, rooted in experimentation and improvisation.
Paintings in oil, mixed-media pieces, ink drawings, sculptures, floral assemblages under plexiglas and repurposed objects converse through a tactile visual language. His practice moves between abstraction and figuration, privileging matter, color and gestural mark-making to explore observation, the living world and unexpected material affinities. The show reveals a restless creativity driven by curiosity, collage-like associations and continual recomposition.

Opening: Wednesday, 16 September, 18:00

16 September – 15 October

Xinyi Hu transforms familiar domestic objects—mirrors and tables—into evolving ceramic forms that visitors are invited to activate. Between sculpture and utility, her modular pieces recalibrate everyday gestures: looking, gathering, leaning. The works demand bodily adaptation and invent new uses, making the moment of the artwork’s emergence depend on embodied engagement. Through tactility and careful material language, Hu examines presence, relationality and the thresholds where form becomes action.

4 – 10 October

On the occasion of her first institutional solo exhibition in Geneva, Marisa Cornejo presents El Taller de la Fragilidad, bringing together new sculptures, drawings, and installations. Born in Chile and based in Switzerland, the artist draws on her experience of exile to explore the relationships between memory, displacement, absence, and repair. Several of the works have been created especially for Halle Nord, examining the forms of resilience that emerge from uprootedness. Recipient of the Fondation Francine Delacrétaz Prize (2023) and a Swiss Art Award (2024), Marisa Cornejo’s practice spans sculpture, drawing, installation, performance, and archival research.

18 September – 31 October

German artist Olaf Holzapfel presents a body of work that quietly investigates landscape, architecture and vernacular traditions. Working across sculpture, drawing, painting and installation, he foregrounds materiality and craftsmanship, transforming humble materials into structures that mediate between nature and the built environment. The works trace textures of memory and labour, proposing subtle dialogues between form and site. The exhibition emphasises process and making, inviting sustained attention to material relationships and artisanal techniques.

17 September – 13 December

Curators Ghalas Charara and Rita Elhajj present the second part of a two‑part exhibition that shapes a liminal space between listening and gesture. Through acts of defunctionalization, duplication, displacement, fragmentation and sabotage, the participating artists generate potentials for action and reclaim rhythmic breaths, steps and voices. Works from the host collection sit alongside invited pieces to evoke survivance, mourning and resistance, where memory becomes an embrace enacted by bodies searching for—sometimes finding—ancestral gestures through repetition, dance and semantic shifts.
