Swiss Landscapes

Eric Eriston Winarto presents a body of small oil paintings that treat the Swiss landscape as memory and pictorial research. Executed largely in A4 format, these fragmentary paintings—hills veiled in smoke, metallic roads, nocturnal scenes with phantom headlights, bluish forests—oscillate between observation and abstraction. Drawing on the legacy of Turner and Hodler, Winarto probes perception, tension and balance, using controlled yet enigmatic brushwork to suggest storms, glaciers and mist. The project questions how intimate, poetic images emerge from fleeting atmospheric states.

MAMCO presents Dial‑A‑Poem Switzerland, a telephone-based poetic broadcasting project inspired by John Giorno. The installation transforms a decommissioned phone booth into a listening station, gathering recorded voices from across Switzerland’s linguistic regions. The programme features contributions by poets and artists exploring language, public space and oral transmission, alternating recorded and live readings. Conceived with Giorno Poetry Systems, the project foregrounds voice as material and communal listening as a poetic practice.

12 March – 7 May

Ernest Pignon-Ernest, born in 1942 in Nice, is considered one of the pioneers of street art. Through life-sized charcoal drawings pasted directly onto city walls, he creates powerful encounters between his human figures and the urban spaces they inhabit. Deeply engaged with social and political issues, his work reflects historical and contemporary struggles while maintaining a strong poetic and human presence.

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

20 February – 29 November

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.

25 March – 5 April

Curator Christophe Piette presents a carte blanche program assembled from a moving-image archive, juxtaposing video works, digitized files and archival ephemera. The selection spans historical and contemporary practices, using screenings and installation formats to probe preservation, circulation and public access to media collections. Through an exchange between institutions across cities, the presentation questions how curatorial gestures reveal institutional histories, the materiality of moving images and the tensions between conservation and renewed public visibility.

The exhibition invites you on a journey through anatomical models, casts, waxworks, and illustrated antique books. Modern tools like microscopy, medical imaging, and 3D printing uncover the inner workings of organs, currently utilized by medical students at the University of Geneva. This is a collaboration with the University of Geneva. Some images may not be suitable for younger or sensitive audiences.

29 January – 25 October

John M Armleder is invited for the museum’s sixth Carte Blanche, presenting over 500 works in a thematic traversal that juxtaposes heritage and contemporary creation. The installation-driven exhibition stages dialogues between animals, abstract painting, musical instruments and lighting, using assemblage, ephemeral structures and situational interventions to encourage wandering and reinterpretation. Paintings, sculptures and installations are layered and superimposed to prompt new readings of the collection and to foreground process, chance and visual play.
