7 mai – 27 juin

Swiss artist Étienne Krahenbühl presents a contemplative exhibition of sculptural and mixed-media works that explore forms in motion and the generative forces of life. From earth and world emerge cracks, shifts and breaths that shape tensions and connections, underscoring our relationship with matter, nature and the human. The works mark passages between worlds and, through resonance, invite emotional and intellectual reflection on respect, singularity and coexistence.

Opening: Thursday 7 May, 17:00

11 June – 2 July

Artpéros Filafriques are intimate sessions that explore the current exhibition, accompanied by background music and African wine tasting. A true journey into the vibrant world of contemporary African art, in a unique atmosphere. A special feature of this season is that the gallery has been transformed into the studio of artist Reggie Khumalo, who is opening his doors to the public for the occasion.

25 June – 8 July

Inspired by the literary world of Leonora Miano, this series of paintings portrays a fictional people embodying a utopian vision of Pan-Africanism. Through richly imagined figures and narratives, Ismaël Touré explores identity as plural, fluid, and deeply rooted in a shared collective memory.

Opening: Thursday 25 June, 18:30

28 May – 18 July

Afro‑Caribbean Stories brings together works by Ivonne González Núñez and Laura Arminda Kingsley that weave narratives of memory, identity and visibility rooted in Afro‑Caribbean cosmologies. Through photography, writing, performance, painting, digital imagery and sculpture, the artists examine heritage, resistance, creolisation and the interconnections of the living. The exhibition pairs intimate archival gestures with experimental material practices to reveal layered histories and speculative modes of belonging.

Opening: 28 May, 18:00

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.

11 June – 29 August

Traces of Presence gathers artists whose practices examine what remains beyond immediate visibility. Through painting, photography, abstraction and material transformation, the show explores presence as memory carried through matter, process and perception. Roxana Bergt reworks still-life into vessels of memory and resilience; José Yaruro reinterprets classical forms; Marie Deforche paints quiet moments of solitude. Luca Mancone repurposes receipts and thermal paper; Eilena Braye converts microscopic structures into vivid abstraction; Justyna Maria Porowska and Didier Van der Borght negotiate geometry, surface and imagined silhouettes.

Opening: Thursday 11 June, 18:00-20:00
