Stitches: A Haunted House and Other Ghost Stories

Free

Collectif Détente presents works that treat fabric and clothing as spectral carriers of memory. Through textile-based installations, sculptural garments, assemblage and a filmic element, artists including Ryan Gander, Meret Oppenheim and others probe domestic hauntings, hidden inheritance and collective fears. The show stages fragile, unsettling presences that revive interrupted stories and private traces, using material tactility and suspended forms to reveal how ordinary objects and living spaces keep visible and invisible histories in uneasy coexistence.

Carte Blanche: Works on Paper

Art & Exhibits

espace-L

Eight artists — Fernando de la Rocque, Jean Marie Fahy, Dara Maillard, Lyz Parayzo, Wes Roque, Almeida da Silva, Vivianne Van Singer and Martin Widmer — examine paper as a deliberate field of possibility. Treating sheets as material and gesture, they deploy drawing, cutting, layering and mark‑making to activate intimacy, fragility and resilience. The works reclaim paper as presence rather than support, exploring immediacy, vulnerability and the poetic potential of minimal means.

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

André Kasper — Mettez-en une palette!

Art & Exhibits

Villa Dutoit

Painter André Kasper revisits classical and contemporary traditions in a body of oil paintings, watercolours and works on paper shaped by extended stays in Rome. His canvases — landscapes, ruins and figurative scenes — favour composed structures and a luminous handling that anchors each work’s narrative. Accustomed to large formats, he has recently explored smaller, more impulsive studies that foreground colour purity and gesture. The exhibition reflects Kasper’s dialogue with Caravaggio, Corot and Flemish affinities while tracing personal and art-historical continuities.

Mitja Tušek – Avec Omega, Pomme, Haricot, Cornichon, Rien, Bouteille

Art & Exhibits

Xippas

Mitja Tušek presents two recent groups of paintings that probe the materiality of painting, the instability of the image and the fragility of identity. One series assembles clusters of faces emerging from dense pictorial fields; each face is built from nine black circles forming a compact pictorial ecosystem. The works emphasise surface, repetition and a sculptural use of paint. Tušek (b. 1961, Maribor) studied in Geneva and is based in Brussels; his work has been shown internationally since the 1990s and is held in major public collections.

Opening during the Nuit de Bains on Thursday 12 March at 18:00.

Nouvelles d’Anticythère

Art & Exhibits

Collection des moulages

Ready to dive into the dark depths off the island of Antikythera to discover an ancient shipwreck? The exhibition Nouvelles d’Anticythère presents the research carried out between 2021 and 2025 by the Classical Archaeology Unit of the University of Geneva, in collaboration with the Greek Ministry of Culture. It examines the famous shipwreck discovered in 1900 — a major merchant vessel that sank in the 1st century BCE — and invites visitors to discover the site and understand why it remains a key subject for archaeological research across the Mediterranean.

20 February – 29 November

Simultanés

Art & Exhibits

Musée Ariana

Marie Ducaté presents Simultanés, an installation that transposes the spirit and traces of her studio into a theatre of objects. Combining ceramics, tracing paper, watercolor, textile and glass, the work sits at the intersection of pop culture and art history. The installation foregrounds a chromatic range from vivid colour to transparency and investigates the sensuality of materials, inviting close attention to texture, surface and the intimate relationships between form and materiality. Curated by Claire FitzGerald.

L’ordre mis en jeu – Gerhard Hotter

Art & Exhibits

La Galerie 38

German artist Gerhard Hotter (born 1954) presents a survey of works that unfolds across five decades, exploring play as a mode of learning and experimentation. Early paintings from the 1980s evoke inner labyrinths populated by chess pieces, playing cards and miniature toys; later works evolve into modular constructions inspired by Bauhaus toys, privileging pure form, volume, colour and combinable structures. Hotter employs Langford sequences as compositional tools, situating his practice within concrete art where order becomes an active, playful principle. Recent pieces expand this enquiry through relief, light and spatial interventions.

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