Traces organiques

Momar Seck presents a series of drawings that accompany his new monograph Poïétiques. Through delicate studies of foliage, roots, textures and organic forms, Seck explores the invisible links between matter, nature and emotion. His sensitive visual language oscillates between close observation and inner poetics, inviting the viewer to slow down and perceive the subtle traces left by time, the earth and the breath of life. The show establishes a dialogue between image and writing.

Opening and book signing on 11 June at 18:30.

An extensive survey assembled from a long-standing research collection devoted to glass, this exhibition takes a contemporary look at a millennia-old material. Over two hundred glass and mixed-media works, including sculptural objects, design pieces and installations, testify to a transdisciplinary experimental spirit. Featuring artists such as Ettore Sottsass, Pierre Charpin, Betty Woodman, Bob Wilson, Giuseppe Penone, Jana Sterbak and James Lee Byars, the show examines materiality, technique and the porous boundaries between craft, design and contemporary art.

29 January – 25 October

John M Armleder presents an interchange-based exhibition that foregrounds objects drawn from students’ suitcases. Through object-based works and subtle interventions, the show probes modes of observation, intimacy and collective memory. Personal belongings are rearranged as visual prompts that evoke histories, pedagogy and everyday cinematics. The artist’s restrained interventions invite reflection on how small domestic items circulate meanings and facilitate encounters, revealing how private narratives surface within a communal field of attention.

29 October 2025 – 31 May 2026

The International Museum of the Red Cross and Red Crescent presents the first European solo exhibition of Guatemalan Maya Kaqchikel artist Angélica Serech (*1982). Pach’un Q’ijul (Temps entrelacés – Deep Time) intertwines ancestral weaving gestures with personal and collective memory, drawing on Serech’s history shaped by Guatemala’s civil war. Using self-built looms and natural materials like corn husks and branches, her works explore resilience, repair, and the deep ties between textile traditions and humanitarian action.

9 – 31 May

Isabelle Perez constructs a contemporary bestiary of the human soul. Her hybrid figures — at the intersection of myth and animality — probe metamorphosis, instinct and memory. Through paintings, drawings, engravings and sculptures, Perez stages bodies that mirror inner myths and primal impulses. The work examines the fragile boundary between human and animal, and the broader human relationship to nature, seeking poetic and anthropological resonances that invite introspection rather than easy identification.

Opening reception on Friday, May 8th at 6:30 pm
The artist will be present on Saturdays and Sundays

12 March – 14 June

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.
