Transparences, saison II

Transparences, saison II brings together painter Fanny Gagliardini and sculptor Mireille Fulpius in a dialogue between surface and volume. Gagliardini’s paintings build depth through colour and translucency on fine linen, with mirrors and shifting natural light modulating perception of matter and space.
Fulpius’s thermolacquered metal sculptures—cut, folded and assembled—explore line, structure and void; their open forms admit light and extend perspectives. Curated by Myriam Bongard-Stadler, the exhibition examines how opacity and transparency shape construction and perception.

On the occasion of her first institutional solo exhibition in Geneva, Marisa Cornejo presents El Taller de la Fragilidad, bringing together new sculptures, drawings, and installations. Born in Chile and based in Switzerland, the artist draws on her experience of exile to explore the relationships between memory, displacement, absence, and repair. Several of the works have been created especially for Halle Nord, examining the forms of resilience that emerge from uprootedness. Recipient of the Fondation Francine Delacrétaz Prize (2023) and a Swiss Art Award (2024), Marisa Cornejo’s practice spans sculpture, drawing, installation, performance, and archival research.

12 July – 1 October

Photographer Florian Luthi’s Fantômes Météores is inspired by the 1954 wave of UFO sightings across France, especially along the Franco‑Swiss border. From one of these accounts he revisits childhood landscapes—mist‑shrouded forests, deserted villages and the Jura—and composes a photographic narrative where truth wavers and legends endure. The series uses long exposures, muted palettes and staged absence to probe memory, collective fear and the boundary between documentary and myth. A collaboration with Fondation Convergences.

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.

Antoine Roth presents a photography exhibition focused on atmospheric and optical phenomena observed over Lake Geneva. Working with a digital camera and a long‑focal lens, he photographs distant horizons where light, water and air converge. The series documents rare mirages, notably the Fata Morgana, exploring the boundary between perceptual illusion and measurable physical event. Through patient field observation and precise framing, Roth examines how light and thermal gradients sculpt landscape appearances and challenge our sense of materiality.

2 – 13 September

Luis Marques presents DEEP BLUE and INTERMITTENCES, two series of drawing-based works that transform line into landscape, rhythm and breath. DEEP BLUE offers expansive fields of blue where delicate marks build textured, contemplative seascapes. INTERMITTENCES reworks reclaimed screen-print test papers, letting traces, stains and accidents enter a patient process of repeated lines. Using pens, markers and even sewing thread, Marques negotiates control and chance, producing intimate topographies that meditate on time, repetition, memory and material transformation.

Opening: 2 September, 18:00
Closing: 13 September, 18:00
