Subtle Ballet of Nuances – Luis Marques

Luis Marques, artist and architect, examines his intimate relationship with water through abstract landscapes and text-infused works. Using repeated line, handwritten fragments and layered marks, he constructs an introspective journey that invites contemplative immersion.
The pieces evoke both Lake Geneva and the Atlantic glimpsed from his native Portugal, drawing on the depth of blue and the moving surface of water. By integrating adolescent texts, Marques frames a gentle choreography where line becomes migration and memory is rendered as drawing.

It blends scenography, shared collecting, and a collective display, extended into the kitchen through an ephemeral menu inspired by their worlds. Conceived as a living space, the exhibition unfolds with talks, meals, and gatherings over time, celebrating exchange, generosity, and the pleasure of art—on the walls and on the plate.

For his first solo exhibition in Geneva, Gregor Hildebrandt transforms Galerie Mezzanin into a poetic space of memory and transformation. Using materials such as magnetic tape, vinyl records, and audio cassettes, he reinterprets the physical traces of the analog world, turning familiar forms into sculptural and pictorial works. His installations evoke themes of transfer, nostalgia, and the fragility of memory, reminding us that remembrance once had a tangible medium. Balancing irony and reverence, Hildebrandt questions the role of the artist in an age dominated by digital reproduction, suggesting that art now resides not in direct representation of reality, but in the layered density of collective memory and desire.

Opening: Thursday November 13, 18:00 – 21:00
