Before undergoing renovations, La Menuiserie presents its final exhibition, Toucher du Bois, bringing together 24 artists in a celebration of creativity inspired by wood, craftsmanship, and contemporary art. A unique opportunity to discover a diverse range of artistic practices in one of Geneva’s distinctive cultural spaces.
Opening: Thursday 18 June at 18:00
Diego Cibelli presents an exhibition that considers notions of futurity and personal trajectory. Through a practice that blends installation, photographic fragments and sculptural assemblage, Cibelli interrogates memory, migration and the acts of anticipating life to come. The works deploy found materials, layered imagery and subtle spatial interventions to create a provisional narrative space where biography, material traces and collective histories converge.
Opening : Thursday 21 May, 18:00 – Talk by Elise Roche at 19:00.
Painter Elise van den Brand examines figurative painting and the dynamics of the gaze in a new body of work. Through cropped portraits and fragmentary compositions she interrogates the tension between how subjects intend to be seen and how viewers project narratives onto images. The exhibition draws on Sartre’s notion of le regard, explores social armour as protective presentation, and probes the instability that emerges when contextual markers are removed, exposing ambiguous subjectivities.
Senegalese artist Adji Diouf presents a solo exhibition of paintings that move between figuration and abstraction. Colour structures the compositions, with warm, luminous palettes where the gaze becomes an anchor in abstract fields. Recurrent cultural motifs emerge across canvases, informing a poetic and visual vocabulary. The show highlights the artist’s sustained practice and pictorial exploration of memory, identity and transmission through layered surfaces and rhythmic forms.
Pierre Tal Coat’s practice is examined through his intimate dialogue with the book, presenting around forty illustrated and picture-book collaborations alongside a selection of original works. The exhibition highlights his editorial partnerships with leading publishers and encounters with poets and writers, revealing a visual language where ink, print and image engage in precise, elliptical conversations with text. Works range across periods, tracing shifts in technique, materiality and a restrained yet expressive pictorial vocabulary.
Curator Danniel Tostes brings together works by several generations of artists to examine community as a space of connection, resistance and collective creation. The exhibition assembles photography, installation, sculpture and mixed-media projects that forge dialogues between historical and contemporary practices. Through gestures, archival fragments and collaborative processes, the show investigates memory, solidarity and the forms that communal artistic practices take across time.
