In Together Separated, Rebecca Brodskis explores the delicate tension between intimacy and isolation in a hyperconnected yet emotionally distant world. Her stylized figures, caught in quiet moments of waiting or withdrawal, reveal the paradox of being together yet apart—physically close, but psychically distant. With subtle tones and suspended gestures, Brodskis paints a haunting portrait of modern disconnection, especially as it shapes women’s inner lives.
The Martin Bodmer Foundation, in collaboration with the Conservatoire and Botanical Garden of Geneva and the Bains des Pâquis, presents “Verts d’eaux – Aquatic Plants from Near and Far.” This summer exhibition is dedicated to the diverse world of aquatic plants found in rivers, lakes, seas, and oceans. Combining botanical wonder, artistic interpretation, and scientific inquiry, the exhibition highlights the relationship between aquatic plants and Geneva’s landscape, as well as their portrayal in both literary and religious texts. Curated by Nicolas Ducimetière and Pierre Boillat, with artistic direction by Yoann Givry, visitors are invited to enjoy an enlightening stroll.
The duo exhibition Memory Shelf by Gritli Faulhaber and Augusta Lardy Micheli invites viewers into a delicate dialogue between presence and absence. Their works, displayed side by side but never fully aligned, explore the edges of perception and meaning. Faulhaber’s large-scale collages evoke quiet, breath-held moments where absence speaks volumes, while Lardy’s paintings reveal sudden gestures born from long internal reflections. Together, they navigate the space between hesitation and revelation, inviting us to linger in what resists clear definition.
Opening on Thursday July 10, from 18:00 to 21:00 on the occasion of the Nuit des Bains.
To mark the 100th anniversary of Jean Tinguely’s birth, the MAH celebrates the artist’s deep ties to the museum with a vibrant tribute. A restored kinetic sculpture—Si c’est noir, je m’appelle Jean (1960)—takes center stage, joined by a major donation of graphic works from the Niki Charitable Art Foundation. Echoing the spirit of Tinguely’s last exhibition at the Musée Rath in 1983, the show features over thirty mechanical sculptures and rarely seen works on paper, many connected to Geneva’s cultural history.
ABSTRAKTIONEN / ABSTRAÇÕES brings together diverse approaches to abstraction across two generations and continents. From Traugott Spiess’s meditative gestures to Niura Bellavinha’s layered color fields, Herbert Sobral’s playful contrasts, Fernando De La Rocque’s dreamlike structures, and Antonio Bokel’s geometric compositions rooted in street art, the exhibition traces a century of abstract practices. A visual journey through spontaneity, memory, language, and public space.
