Matthias Lecoq investigates the contemporary city as a milieu of existence, probing how urban forms shape subjectivity and appearance. The exhibition centers on abstract paintings that translate urban forces—density, thresholds, fields, circulations, exhaustion and momentum—while photographs anchor the work in everyday situations. Diagrams, cosmologies and textual fragments act as thinking-tools rather than explanations. Through a study of grammars, rhythms and tensions, Lecoq’s practice reveals the conditions that make collective and individual emergence possible within urban life.

ARMATURA — Konstantina Krikzoni

Art & Exhibits

L'Appartement

London-based artist Konstantina Krikzoni presents a body of paintings born from an intense solitary studio practice. Her work blurs painting and sculpture: textured, tactile canvases where brushwork and sculptural modelling interweave. Silent yet confrontational female figures occupy compositions in grey and yellow, evoking funerary motifs and the logic of memory and grief. ARMATURA functions as metaphor and method — an internal armature of endurance that shapes emotion into form through material exploration and sustained process.

Tender Buttons

Art & Exhibits

Musée Ariana

The Tender Buttons exhibition offers a multidisciplinary exploration centered on buttons, delving into their identity and historical significance. Featuring over three hundred ceramic and glass buttons, the exhibition interacts with the museum’s works to highlight their role in both formal experimentation and socio-cultural narratives. The exhibition’s architecture evokes the commercial arcades of the 19th century, a pivotal era for button industrialization. Curated by Claire FitzGerald, the exhibition is supported by the Swiss Fashion Museum and showcases never-before-seen pieces from several prestigious collections.

Beat Zoderer – HAIKU

Art & Exhibits

Galerie lange+pult

Beat Zoderer’s first exhibition with lange + pult in Geneva presents a new series of works inspired by the economy of haiku. In these small-format pieces, the artist translates brevity, precision, and tension into the pictorial field through grids and modular patterns. Layered, translucent colors create subtle depth and shifting perceptions, while recurring square motifs generate a restrained yet vibrant rhythm. Rooted in concrete art, the series stands out for its quiet, almost meditative quality, where meaning emerges from the balance between form, color, and visual silence.

Opening on Thursday 15 January, from 18:00.

Stitches: A Haunted House and Other Ghost Stories

Art & Exhibits

Villa Bernasconi

Collectif Détente presents works that treat fabric and clothing as spectral carriers of memory. Through textile-based installations, sculptural garments, assemblage and a filmic element, artists including Ryan Gander, Meret Oppenheim and others probe domestic hauntings, hidden inheritance and collective fears. The show stages fragile, unsettling presences that revive interrupted stories and private traces, using material tactility and suspended forms to reveal how ordinary objects and living spaces keep visible and invisible histories in uneasy coexistence.

29 January – 8 February

Vibração das Cores

Art & Exhibits

Usine Kugler

Vibração das Cores brings together seven Brazilian artists whose practices interweave memory, movement and cross‑cultural belonging between Brazil and Geneva. Painting, sculpture, installation, mosaic, drawing and mixed media engage in a vibrant dialogue of colour, material and rhythm.
Sergio Augusto’s dreamlike canvases, Miriam Da Silva’s score‑like colour rhythms, Karla Gomes’s spiralling abstractions, Zaq Guimarães’s cellular constellations, Isabela Pot’s luminous mosaics, Cleide Saito’s playful figurations and Edgard Soares’ found‑object sculptures reveal inventive visual languages that evoke emotion, narrative and formal freedom.

Opening Thursday 29 January 18:00.
Closing reception Sunday 8 February from 14:00.
