4 June – 25 July

Transparences, saison I

Free

Christine Gaillard and Chantal Carrel present a dialogue between painting and sculpture that probes transparency as an experience of light, space and perception. Gaillard’s paintings employ layered surfaces, subtle rhythms and luminous chromatic variations to invite inward contemplation. Carrel’s sculptures—crafted in resin, stone and wood—play with geometry, refraction and shadow, activating volume and architectural relationships. Curated by Myriam Bongard-Stadler, the exhibition explores how materiality and light disclose hidden depths and questions of gaze.

Ben Thouard: Aqua Obscura

Art & Exhibits

ArTypique

Ben Thouard is an ocean artist and one of the world’s foremost surf photographers. In his work water becomes a darkroom, an underwater camera obscura that reveals a singular, immersive vision. This exhibition presents previously unseen photography born of a near-daily practice: a language of water and light. Between organic forms, deep textures and shifts of shadow and clarity, Thouard’s images move between abstraction and contemplation, offering a sensory experience that explores the movements and metamorphoses of liquid matter.

Opening : 25 June, 18:00 – 21:00

In the Shadow of Discovery

Art & Exhibits

Musée d'histoire des sciences

Our eyes are naturally drawn to light and what shines. Yet what could be more fascinating than shadow? Shadows have enabled many fundamental discoveries: the shape of the Earth, the calculation of its circumference, the identification of electrons, and the understanding of planetary motion. They accompany us and enrich our thinking. Come and explore them to learn more about their role in science.

Exhibition in French & in English.

Mirages

Art & Exhibits

Galerie Polomarco

Etienne Francey and Onoko present a collaborative exhibition exploring the mirage as visual and psychological phenomenon. Francey’s photographic practice treats landscapes as memory, rendering familiar scenes with a soft, recollected quality. Onoko contributes more abstract works that distill atmosphere and luminous degradation into colour fields and ephemeral surfaces. Together their pieces interrogate perception, illusion, and the shifting boundary between apparition and documentation, using photography, colour studies and light to destabilize what the eye assumes to know.

Yvan Salomone — 2611

Art & Exhibits

Galerie Sonia Zannettacci

Yvan Salomone presents a series of recent watercolours that transform anonymous buildings and soulless industrial sites into evocative landscapes. Through delicate, velvety tones, subtle colour modulations and watery traces that suggest life, the artist elevates banal subjects and transfigures objective reality. The exhibition’s title, 2611, alludes to Salomone’s practice of assigning eleven‑letter titles composed from the alphabet, producing names that detach the work from literal description and invite poetic reading.

Opening: Thursday 7 May , 16:00
