Transformation(s)

An experimental one-day encounter curated around transformations of matter, featuring artists Marie Ducaté, Sillycat Glassblower and Turbo Particules. Works range from glassblowing and demonstrations with recycled glass, to clay and hand-built ceramics, color-based installations, soundscapes using theremin and projected light, plus participatory workshops.
Through surface, fire, light and gesture, the programme examines material change — how processes reveal hidden properties, provoke sensory shifts and reframe everyday substances as sites of wonder and inquiry.

19 – 27 September

Amélie Patry presents a body of ceramic work rooted in the landscapes of the Loire Valley. Through long walks she collects soils, stones and vegetal matter which she incorporates directly into her vessels. Her process—digging, carrying and shaping—follows a slow attentiveness to material transformation. Fired in the kiln, these gathered elements yield irregular surfaces and textured skins that suggest mineral reliefs and fossil fragments, connecting body, landscape and layered temporalities.

14 September – 17 October

Through textiles, photography, performance, and writing, Vanessa Riera explores the visible and invisible burdens that permeate women’s experiences: norms, legacies, and inherited traumas, but also care, healing, and resistance. The title evokes those micromovements that allow the body to endure, adapt, and transform—gestures sometimes imperceptible, yet profoundly meaningful.

Opening during Geneva Art Week on September 16, 18:00

6 May – 10 January

Mi Mawai and Madzerokai present an immersive audiovisual installation born from a residency exchange between the Brazilian Amazon and Geneva. The work invites immersion in Baniwa cosmology through video, layered soundscapes, flutes, traditional singing and dance. Visitors are invited to lie in hammocks and on mats for contemplative encounters with projected landscapes and ritual sonic textures. The piece foregrounds ancestral knowledge, collective memory and multisensory modes of storytelling.

17 September – 3 November

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

19 – 27 September

Photographer Jörg Brockmann and ceramist Youlichka Fioramonti present a joint exhibition that transposes the human body onto porcelain through cyanotype processes. Brockmann’s images are photographed and printed onto film, then transferred onto light-sensitive porcelain plates before firing. Fioramonti’s ceramic practice engages this material translation, emphasizing the interplay of light, chemistry and fire. The works probe material transformation, the role of chance within analogue techniques and a dialogue between photographic form and crafted surface.

16 – 31 September

An intergenerational exhibition presenting the work of Jannis Kounellis and Julian Charrière, focusing on a material-based conceptual practice that spans over fifty years. The display brings installations and sculptural works into dialogue, foregrounding elemental media such as coal, combustion, metal and petroleum used as supports and vectors of history, political reflection, energy and symbolic charge. The juxtaposition highlights shared concerns about matter, industry and the traces of human intervention.

Preview (Geneva Art Week) in presence of Julian Charrière: Wednesday 16 September, 17:00.

Opening (Nuit des Bains): Thursday 17 September, 18:00.
