Swiss Landscapes

Free

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.

Carlos Schwabe

MAH

Carlos Schwabe’s retrospective traces the symbolism and pictorial imagination that defined his practice. Trained in Geneva, Schwabe is celebrated for evocative book illustrations and ambitious pictorial compositions that blend allegory, myth and musical ideas. The exhibition presents paintings, illustrations and preparatory drawings drawn from public and private Swiss and French collections, exploring technique, materiality and the spiritual and literary currents that shaped his visual language around the turn of the twentieth century.

CHRONOPOLIS

Art & Exhibits Cool Stuff

Brasserie des Halles de L'île

CHRONOPOLIS gathers twenty independent watchmakers presenting wristwatches that combine mechanical ingenuity and contemporary design. The fair foregrounds artisanal techniques—manual finishing, small-scale production and micro-mechanical innovation—across objects, prototypes and limited editions.
Themes of independence, authenticity and dialogue recur as makers prioritise accessibility and exchange over commercial spectacle. The presentation reveals how craft, material choice and design language shape personal timekeeping, inviting close encounters with the processes and values that sustain independent watchmaking.

Methodical Process

Art & Exhibits

Lovay Fine Arts

The exhibition brings together three artists, Nnena Kalu, Linda Bell and Marie Gyger, whose practices examine repetitive gesture as a daily discipline. Gyger reflects on the value of labour, while Bell and Kalu pursue more spontaneous, obsessive procedures. Their works, ranging from repetitive drawings and object accumulation to installations and assembled images, show how accumulation sculpts pictorial forms and material narratives, inviting reflection on labour, ritual and the construction of visual meaning.

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

Salvatore Emblema – May 1972

Art & Exhibits

SOMA

May 1972 is an exhibition dedicated to Salvatore Emblema (Naples, 1929–2006), bringing together works produced between the late 1960s and the early 1980s. Across paintings, sculptures and installations, Emblema refines a conceptual language that interrogates materiality, form and temporality. The presentation highlights his experimental use of found materials, assemblage and reductive gestures, situating these works within postwar Italian avant‑garde practices and the artist’s evolving exploration of spatial and epistemic limits.

Architecture of Memories

Art & Exhibits

Fabienne Levy Gallery

Architecture of Memories is a two-person exhibition by German artist Alina Frieske and Swiss artist Tobias Nussbaumer. Frieske reworks fragments of online imagery into digital collages that question image production and contemporary visual culture. Nussbaumer constructs layered virtual and architectural spaces through detailed pencil and ink drawings based on personal archives. Together their works probe how images configure memory, spatial perception and identity, juxtaposing digital fragmentation with meticulous draughtsmanship.

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