The International Museum of the Red Cross and Red Crescent presents the first European solo exhibition of Guatemalan Maya Kaqchikel artist Angélica Serech (*1982). Pach’un Q’ijul (Temps entrelacés – Deep Time) intertwines ancestral weaving gestures with personal and collective memory, drawing on Serech’s history shaped by Guatemala’s civil war. Using self-built looms and natural materials like corn husks and branches, her works explore resilience, repair, and the deep ties between textile traditions and humanitarian action.

15 January – 7 February

In Atmosphères architecturales, Pascale Badaf explores early 20th-century modern architecture through painting, drawing on references ranging from Frank Lloyd Wright and Mies van der Rohe to cinematic influences. Her oil paintings transform villas, industrial buildings, and aquatic landscapes into quiet, enigmatic settings where light becomes a central narrative force. Devoid of human figures yet charged with subtle signs of presence, these carefully staged architectural scenes invite viewers to inhabit spaces suspended between realism, illusion, and imagination.

Opening on Thursday 15 January, from 18:00.
Also open during the Nuit des Bains on Thursday 22 January, from 18:00.

22 January – 7 March

Valse Velue brings together Jessy Razafimandimby and Cathy Josefowitz in a cross-generational dialogue that juxtaposes performative practice with a body of studio-based works. The presentation combines live and time-based actions with constructed objects and window-front pieces by Tito Honegger and Nicolas Ponce. Through movement, improvisation and attentive materiality, the exhibition interrogates presence, memory and the afterlives of artistic gestures. Curatorial framing highlights exchange, contingency and how ephemeral performances resonate alongside durable artifacts.

Opening Thursday 22 January, from 18:00.

20 January – 7 March

Association NoOps (No Planned Obsolescence Switzerland) presents a travelling display that foregrounds the materiality of our phones. Through two vitrines and a selection of recovered components, the exhibition points to the precious metals embedded in devices and to “urban mines” hiding in drawers. Combining didactic panels, curated specimens and small installations assembled from reclaimed circuitry, it examines resource extraction, waste and value in contemporary consumer electronics, asking how reuse, repair and awareness can reframe our relationship to everyday technologies.

22 January – 21 February

Niels Hung, a graduate of HEAD–Genève, investigates his multicultural identity through painting shaped by American and Asian visual cultures. His works—repainted canvases and mixed-format paintings—often reappropriate images found online and in the street, interrogating contemporary image production and its slipperiness. Employing layered pictorial strategies and referential iconography, Hung stages a critical dialogue that oscillates between fascination and critique. He also joined the Work.Master teaching team in 2024 and engages with questions of artistic production and the artist’s condition.

9 December – 1 March

Projects by five finalists from HEAD–Genève are presented alongside the work of Mohamad Khamis in an exhibition of installations that probe sharing and engagement. The pieces employ spatial and conceptual strategies to explore collective practices, interpersonal exchange and forms of commitment. The show foregrounds emerging artistic voices, using installation as a platform for material inquiry and civic reflection, and invites careful attention to the ways artworks stage social relations and ethical questions.
