Geneva, before it became the Geneva we know. Set in the city’s oldest surviving private residence, Maison Tavel tells the story of local life from the Middle Ages to the 19th century. Don’t miss the impressive Magnin Relief, a huge model of Geneva before its fortifications disappeared.
Ceramics and glass get their moment in the spotlight at the Ariana. From delicate porcelain to bold contemporary pieces, the collection shows just how inventive the “fire arts” can be, all inside one of Geneva’s most distinctive museum buildings.
Big Bangs, tiny particles and some very big questions. CERN’s Science Gateway makes particle physics surprisingly tangible through hands-on experiments, real scientific objects, and immersive installations. You don’t need a physics degree — curiosity will do just fine.
Pierre La Police presents a retrospective of his work, spanning contemporary comics, digital art, installations, video and short film. Renowned for an absurdist sensibility and skewed humour, his practice blends hand-drawn sequences with experimental visual techniques and digital processes. The show traces recurring motifs—playful disruption, narrative fragmentation and visual experimentation—offering a layered survey of an artist who has expanded the language of comic art into installation and moving image.
Geneva based artist Gregory Bourrilly presents seven sculptures and a photograph that reconsider human-centered narratives in favor of ecological processes. Since 2018 his practice explores living dynamics and natural phenomena, imagining a posthuman world where human culture gradually yields to vegetal and animal recolonization. The works combine sculptural forms and photographic framing to evoke material transformation, decay and emergence, proposing alternative imaginaries of coexistence beyond anthropocentrism.
Opening: Thursday 17 September, 18:00
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.

Ségolène Romier revisits her practice as a filmmaker while opening a new chapter that foregrounds drawing and material experimentation. Her films, presented across a cluster of televisions, form a living retrospective populated by characters, objects and bodies. Drawing, long confined to sculptural preparation, moves to the fore on cardboard, producing fragmented forms and a kaleidoscopic self‑portrait in which the body appears in pieces between representation and disappearance. The exhibition contemplates passage, creative continuity and the shifting modalities of image and object.
Opening: Wednesday 30 September, 18:00
Closing: Sunday 11 October, 17:00
